I have been looking into nexus badminton for yonex rackets. Has anyone tried their online website. The first site brand themselves as the official yonex dealer. I am also not sure which one is their official website: there is the “badmintonnexus.shop” and “nexusbadminton.com”. The latter one also has a discount code that works.
I just wanna make sure that Ill receive the racket safe and is authentic.
Hey everyone,
I’ve been running into this a lot when playing with friends — we’ll get into a good rally, keep playing, and then suddenly realize… no one is sure what the score is anymore. It turns into a quick debate, or we just guess and move on.
I know there are scoring apps and even smartwatch solutions, but in practice they all need someone to tap after every point, which kind of interrupts the flow. Most of the time we just don’t bother.
So I started wondering if there’s a better way to do this. What if you could just set up a small camera by the court, let it record the game, and have it figure out the score automatically using computer vision? Ideally it could also call out the score between points so no one has to think about it.
And if you’re already recording the game, it feels like there’s more you could do with it — like pulling out highlight moments after the match, or even giving some basic feedback on positioning or shot selection.
I’m curious how people here feel about something like this. Would you actually use it, or does it feel unnecessary for casual games?
So I've been playing badminton for over 10 years, 4 of which were competitive, both in inter-school (doubles) and external games (singles), but even now I sometimes still get some sort of performance anxiety when serving in doubles.
During training (and in the past) I can consistently execute good serves close to the net, but in games I just get scared that I'll serve too high and give the opponents a free net kill and end up serving into the net, and in my next service I end up unintentionally serving it way too high (like half a racket head) and it ends up being a free net kill.
The silver lining is that it's not a frequent occurrence (maybe 2x a match on average) but I'd like to try to eliminate that and any advice would be appreciated!

Hi! During game i felt good when i did the smash. But checking the video, something feels weird to me HAHAHA i just dont know exactly what
My upper body (swing, core, rotation) looks good to me. My lower body during and post smash looks kinda weird when i checked it. Am i using my lower body right? Am i landing right? Does my lower body looks dead during the smash? like im just hanging my legs
Please let me know your insights. Thank you!
My next video will help you fix and choose the right receiving. Find it here:-).

I've been trying to train more consistently but don't always have a partner available. Been doing shadow footwork and wall rallying but honestly not sure how much it's translating to real match play.
Curious what solo drills people here have found actually move the needle vs what feels productive but doesn't really do much. Footwork, shot practice, conditioning, anything counts.
title says it all really. I started going to a club a couple years ago, then I quit for a year cause I was super stressed about exams and I rejoined the next year to a different club. I was making really good progress with footwork and speed and different shots for about a year but for the last 6 months or so I've just been getting worse. each time. my timing is always off, I can't smash anymore without hitting the net, I can't clear properly in matches anymore and my pace has dropped. I joined another sort of social badminton group where we just play matches and I was doing really good at the start too, picking up difficult shots and playing against really good people and getting good practice but now I just show up and hit some mediocre. slow and high shots and I'm just seen as dead weight now and im so frustrated with myself for not playing any differently each time. how do i fix this?
Just got to playing badminton a couple of months ago( i play once a week. Im 20 kilos heavier now) i noticed i have difficulty doing the split step and having difficulty moving like i used to do before. Appreciate your feed back.
Looking for feedback on my swing. I feel like something is off, but I can’t tell exactly what. Any constructive advice would really help. Thanks.
I’ve been playing consistently for about 3-4 years. I started playing when I was 10, I would play once a week recreationally and this is what got me into the sport. Around Covid time I stopped playing for 1-2 years and picked it up again when I was 17 or so to play for my high school team. Since then I’ve been playing consistently, I played for my University team where I trained for a year. After that I’ve played in a lot of local clubs where I’m viewed as a good player, not great, not the best, but solid player who’s amongst the better players in the community. This should help gauge where my skill level is. I want to spend some time actually training and focusing on badminton, I want to try and compete provincially. I don’t expect to win or even compete at higher levels, even low level C tournament just to have to skills and experience of competing at a somewhat high level.
For the record I live in Ontario. Do you guys think this is achievable or will the players I compete against just outclass me? I want to know this before I spend a lot of time and money on training.
I checked their IG post announcing their retirement and it seems that Axelsen is getting much more credits from his fellow players than Marin is. Numerous players like Jojo, Ginting, ASY, SSJ, Lee Yang, Lee Cheuk Yiu, Daddies, Wang tzu wei, Chen long, TTY, Aaron Chia, Kidambi, and almost all well-known Danish players etc. gives warm farewell comment. On the other hand, only a few recognizable players showed the same interest when Marin retired.
Both are considered one of the best, if not the best, players in their respective discipline and it is a bit surprising Axelsen is much more loved, or is it that Marin is not very loved, even for colleague players?
Hi everyone,
I’m looking to upgrade my badminton livestreaming setup and would really appreciate some advice from people with experience.
Right now my setup is very simple:
It works reasonably well, but my long‑term quality goal is something close to the Sudirman Cup 2019 broadcast look. Obviously, I know that’s a very high bar.
The main challenge is that most of my streams are done in small school sports halls, not large arenas. From what I understand, that broadcast‑style look usually requires the main camera to be placed far behind the court, fairly high, and to use strong optical zoom — which is often simply not possible in smaller venues.
At a minimum, I’d like to reliably achieve:
That’s why I’m reaching out here:
I’m currently looking at Blackmagic Studio Cameras (Studio Micro, Studio Camera Plus, Pro 4K, Pro 6K), but I’m unsure which lenses would realistically meet my requirements for full‑court framing, image quality, and flexibility in limited space.
Any real‑world experiences, recommendations, or warnings would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!
I'm a girl playing U19 this year. I do singles as well as mixed doubles. I wanted to learn jump smash. I already have a strong smash, but I wanted to acquire a jump smash as well. How can I do that? Can someone please suggest plyometric training and on court training?
Recently saw this new light biege colour listed on the Yonex US website. Anyone knows if this is different from the original ArcSaber 7 tour (other than the colour)?
New Yonex Arcsaber 7 Tour Light Biege colour?
Nearly all the pros I watch, whether it’s singles or doubles, have their back foot’s heel off the ground when receiving a serve. The degree to which the heel is off the ground varies, but I believe all of them do this.
Wouldn’t a player get a stronger push off if your whole foot is on the ground? I know I’m wrong and I’m definitely not arguing that I know better than the pros, I’m just curious what the answer is.
hi everyone, im f16 in highschool and i’ve been playing for around 2 years. I mainly play woman’s doubles, not singles. I’m on my school teams JV and I feel like i’m not improving and I’m not good enough. Are there any general tips you can give so I can improve? I want to get better.
I feel like I have a hard time getting to the birdie and I feel like I’m easily controlled around the court. So maybe my footwork?
I also feel like my defense is weak and my hits are weak.
I am about an intermediate player, After using my friend's Arcsaber 11 Pro, I feel like my Astrox 77 Pro is a bit slower and head heavy for my liking. The arcsaber 11 pro feels really great but I can't afford it. Is my racket too PRO for me?
I’m an intermediate (or above-intermediate) player, and I’ve noticed that whenever I’m about to hit a jump smash, I close my eyes right at the point of contact. Because of this, my smash either goes way above the net or straight into it. How can I fix this?
I’ve been playing with the Victor Auraspeed 99 Metallic for a bit over a month now, and the short version is this:
It’s what happens when Victor takes the Auraspeed 90K Metallic and sends it to finishing school.
The 90K always felt like a strict headmaster with a personal vendetta against imperfect timing. The 99 Metallic is still demanding — make no mistake — but now it at least entertains the idea that you and I are human.
On paper it’s extra stiff, but in practice it feels more responsive and noticeably more forgiving. Not “beginner-friendly” forgiving, but more in the sense that it no longer reacts to every mistimed shot like Basil Fawlty discovering the toaster has once again betrayed him.
Speed-wise, it’s absurdly quick. Drives, defense, flat exchanges — this is where it thrives. The racket cuts through the air like it has somewhere important to be, and frankly, it’s often arriving before I am.
Control is excellent if you hit the sweet spot. The shuttle goes exactly where you tell it to go — which is wonderful, assuming you gave it correct instructions. If not, it will follow your bad decision with admirable loyalty.
Power is… honest. Smashes can be sharp and precise, but there are no shortcuts here. You bring the technique, the racket provides the output. When timing is off, the result can feel less “devastating winner” and more “strongly worded suggestion.”
And yes — the design. It’s pink. Not apologetically pink. This is a racket that would correct your pronunciation of “Negroni” and then outplay you at the net. Personally, I think it looks great. Your mileage — and confidence — may vary.
Overall, it’s a fast, technical all-rounder that’s significantly easier to live with than the 90K Metallic, without losing that sharp Auraspeed identity.
