Product Description
This new edition will be ideal for badminton players, coaches and instructors interested in teaching, learning or improving proper stroke development, footwork, tactics and basic strategies. The additional technical content for stroke development will include racket face angle, swing size and arc, racket speed and impact point. In addition, the new version will reflect the scoring and rule changes adopted internationally in the autumn of 2006.Specifically to tie in with the new scoring will be the tactical approaches needed to respond to the new game. The second edition will retain all of the components that make it a "Steps to Success" title, in addition to adding some of the newer features such as identifying the objectives for each step.In addition to further developing the Errors section to reflect more the visually (or kinesthetically) errant result, the Corrections section has been added to focus on the technical execution. Finally, information has been included to address the more developed player with additional strokes and/or variations and more complex tactics and drills.

Format:Paperback
I found the content easy to follow with clear explanations and drawn pictures. Some drills were basic but could be modified with little thought to advance them. As a Physical Education teacher up to GCSE level I have found this an invaluable tool to advance both my own and pupil knowledge.

Format:Paperback
I found this book rather basic in the sense that it didn't cover enough material on the tactics for doubles or singles matches such as the 'Divorce' area. The section on serves was rather limited and did not cover the torpedo serves. The book would have greatly benefitted from photos rather than scrappy line drawings especially for a book published in 1996! All in all, I would say that this book is for beginners who don't have a proper clue or little prior knowledge on the game. Otherwise, for an intermediate player like myself, who wants to advance to a high level or near county standard, I would not recommend this book. The good thing about this book was that it featured lots of drills, although sometimes silly ones such as bouncing a shuttlecock on your racquet 30 times!

I've definitely improved after reading this book and putting some of the tips into practice. Would be even better for two people learning together as there are a lot of excercises with a partner which would really hone your skills.
