I feel and realize that badminton prediction is roughly divided into three aspects, tactical prediction, technical prediction and behavioral prediction.
Tactical prediction is mainly a comprehensive judgment based on the opponent’s overall technical and tactical level, psychological and physical fitness, and current state. It is a task that every player must do before the battle. We will not discuss it here. Judgment is the badminton pre-judgment in our usual concept. It refers to the pre-judgment made according to the possibility and habits of the opponent’s return ball under the premise of the quality of our shots.
There are three main tricks to it:
1. Master the basic rules of various ball paths. For example, if we send a high ball in the backcourt from the right field, the opponent usually returns to the backcourt in a straight line or slashes our forehand diagonally; Playback in front of the net; another example is when we press down the opponent’s forehand baseline ball, the return line is roughly only the midfield and the front corners of the net. In short, we have mastered some basic ball paths, and it becomes relatively easy to predict. ;
2. Learn to analyze the opponent’s habitual routines. The basic rules of various ball paths are universal, and each golfer mostly handles the same way. Personalized ball path, this is its so-called personalized technical characteristics. Shortly after the game, analyzing and mastering its technical characteristics, basic playing styles and personalized routines in the shortest possible time is an important strategy to take the initiative in subsequent games. ;
3. Improve the quality of your own ball return. The quality of prediction needs to be guaranteed. Only when you hit the ball with high quality and oppression can you make the opponent’s return under your control, and the prediction at this time is also The most effective, if the quality of your shots is too low, and there is no pressure or restriction on the opponent, he will naturally have more options for hitting back. At this time, the prediction is often unsuccessful. The reason why Lin Dan hit the ball. At such a high level, as soon as the opponent’s ball was released, he had already moved in place, because of the high quality of his return, the prediction was naturally very successful.
Behavioral prediction is more popular, it is staring at the ball. As the name implies, staring at the ball is to use your eyes to stare at the details of the action of the opponent at the moment when he hits the ball. It plays a great role in doubles receiving and serving. in a passive state.
The most negligible place is to only focus on the whole process of the opponent hitting the ball, and relax the attention to the moment of hitting the ball, so that it is easy to be deceived by fake actions. There is also too strong self-awareness, or awareness first, self-righteous, lazy and lax, and it is naturally difficult to form a good habit of staring the ball for a long time, which has caused a great obstacle to the further improvement of technology. Since staring at the ball is so important, then there are What good way to do this?
I think there are three main aspects:
The first is to stare at the ball point. No matter whether the opponent’s action is big or small, fast or slow, our eyes are always on the ball, so as to avoid being deceived by the opponent’s fake action to the greatest extent;
The second is the shape of the racket. To be precise, it is the direction, angle and flashing amplitude of the moment when the racket surface contacts the ball. The direction of the racket surface determines whether the ball is a straight line or an oblique line, and the angle of the racket surface determines whether the ball is straight or oblique. Whether the arc of the ball is high or flat, and the flashing range of the racket surface will know whether the acceleration when hitting the ball is large or small, thus judging how far the ball is flying;
The third is to stare at the net belt, and use this as a reference to determine and judge the flight path and final landing point of the ball in space, move the pace, take a reasonable position, and complete the hitting action.
As for the training of staring at the ball, my experience is that you should start practicing with people with poor skills and develop the habit of staring at the ball. Then, in actual combat, you are required to at least first stare at the serving and receiving, and then try to take a longer time to pay attention. If you focus on the ball for a period of time, you must always consciously remind yourself, keep training, and finally practice with opponents who are higher than your own level to improve your ability to stare and predict the ball. I believe that one day, many players around you will be. Your ball path and playing habits will be closely watched by you.
Finally, it should be noted that in the actual prediction process, several points in technical prediction and behavioral prediction are not orderly, but are completed subconsciously in the process of comprehensive experience and conditioned reflex.
After a period of conscious training and combined with game experience, most people can achieve a relatively high level of prediction. Generally speaking, before the game, tactical prediction is very important for players, but in the usual training It is necessary to emphasize technical prediction. As for behavioral prediction, I think it is very, very important for those who have not yet become masters and are particularly eager to improve their badminton level!
