Badminton
2009 Holiday Special Sports Part 3



Next off, we look at Squash and Tennis' distannnttt cousin: Badminton! (Here we have another girl with fluff up hair again=P) So why the distant? Well, a badminton player told me before that if you observe carefully, the serving style and playing style is totally opposite compared to Tennis~ Dun wish to bore non-sporty readers here so I shall skip the details~ (Can ask me personally if you want tho=))


After shooting quite a bit of sports, I have to say that Sports can get quite Unglam sometimes! Many a times, I see shirts flying off especially when they return with a hard smack. But who cares? As long as you win the point, getting a bit unglam is worth it, I guess~

Talking about glam or unglam actually leads to a very important thing in sports: Style! Most seasoned players, in fact all, play with a certain style, patterns that you can observe over time if you are sharp enough.. Players often move in a similar manner as they execute their moves. For example, our lady above loves to do taiji swordplay when she returns a drop shot~ Knowing these patterns can prove to be useful~ More to be said in later parts!

To end it off, I have another "fun" shot here~ Sometimes, you get a bit excited over getting the ball back and you trip and fall and sometimes the falling pose can get quite awkard. These are rare moments so snap it when you have the chance!
