In this short video we share 4 things that have been banned from badminton!
Giving you an insight into all things BADMINTON!
Four things that have been banned from Badminton, including one that was officially banned just a few weeks ago. Number one is holding your
racket up at the net and obstructing your opponent’s swing. You need to allow them space to play their shot. So, if your racket is preventing their follow-through, it’s a fault! Number two is
that applying cold spray on yourself in between points is now banned and you can now only use it in the intervals. This is to try and speed up play and stop people time wasting. Number three is hitting the feathers on the serve in order to make it spin. Made famous by the Sidek brothers in the 1980s. This was banned because it was so unpredictable to return and probably
because it also absolutely destroys the feathers And so the rule was changed that you had to hit the cork first. But then over 40 years later, there was another serve innovation where you
spin the cork before you contact the shuttle again making it almost impossible to return!
We believe this was first seen in the Korean National League and then on the European Tour, but it’s now officially been banned forever. So now you know

Ban corrupt umpires how bout that
gotta use all that for my next match (i play againts my GF)
let’s just ban badminton entirely, no more tactics, no more skill, just pure fairness! sounds perfect, doesn’t it?
Of course, Choi Sol-gyu… Always with the serve controversy.
Cold spray makes no sense, just have minimum time or point goes to opposition
what about anxlesen serve
…so how do you spin the birdie before the serve?
Why does bro move and hop like that whenever he speaks😂
Y'all focus on all the lamest topics
the bwf board directors getting unrespectful …
Learned new tricks , thanks 👍😂😂
No 1 should not be banned
Certain players at meetups seem to only understand & accept that obstructing an opponent's swing is illegal after they crack their own frame.😂 I use Play rackets in case my opponent obstructs me with their Pro racket.
why is he jumping every 2 seconds
Im just gonna if the first rule is illegal doesn't lee chong wei hve to be disqualified?
this guy's gestures are too much :')
I'll use that spinning trick in our intrams heheehehehe
Number 1 and 4 are really controversial. number 1: When is it obstruction and when is it good defense? Number 4: try to do this serve, when badly done it is a high and useless serve that will be punished by your opponent! I can kind of make it tumble with a slash or effect from the racket itself. Will they make that illegal as well?
10 years from now the shuttlecock will be banned
Today i found out its cork** not cock**
a fool banned the first one..
at least I still have my flick serve!
You forgot the bounce of the shuttle then you hit it again after it bounces.
A basket ball coach banned the First one? If so plz share the article / link etc. so we double check. Thanks!
First one shouldn't be banned
Obstructing your opponent’s shot was banned a long time ago. Not new.
You can always make your shot, just not block your racquet blatantly in front of your opponent’s shot. Still leave alot in the umpire’s discretion tbough.
I thought they banned saying the word “shuttlecock”. I just breathed a sigh of relief.
the stupid agripina things 😂
Tactic and technic are utmost important to beat an apponent. It is innovative. Now, you look like stupid. Just why dont you give racket and a shuttle without feather.. solved your brainy idea.
Was the 1st one cause of LCW's play?
I'ma try that on my practice 😂😂
Thx for letting me know haha
Cheap copy of victor axalsan
Aloo jalo
Good! 🎉
4 things that have been banned but overruled by the empire depends on their mood
Why wasn't Marin banned…
i'm so confused with the first thing that is recently banned. i know it may also applied with 13.4.4 of bwf rules.
But the thing is i like playing like it … LOL . mostly in doubles , when i play net shot, and opponent try to lift clear, then i used to pre-block or pre-swing from above the net , so that cleared shuttle is suddenly hit and i score.
what i feel is it should be legal . cos u're doing what you can from your side. They may say your racket may block opponent's stroke. But if their stroke is coming to your side over net, it may not be appropriate, though its legal if their follow stroke is over the net after hitting shuttle.
And if the rule say "you're in the way of the shuttle", of course we always have to, rite ? when opponent smash, we prepare to make block or clear return , getting ready our racket in the shuttle way.
how do you guys think ?
HI IM BOY!
always korean
