"Whether you're a beginner or the best, your bible to better badminton"

By Butch Oreta and Vip Malixi

Unlike in golf and tennis when being a teaching professional can be a lucrative profession, for badminton, the sport is not yet popular enough to support and sustain dedicated teachers of the sport. This situation is reflected in the currently available badminton instructional books: most are written by former players instead of teaching professionals thus they merely skim the surface of the sport, not really going in-depth into how best to explain and teach the proper techniques.

Luckily through the confluence of factors, this is about to change. Butch Oreta, a veteran of the game and a true teaching professional (for aside from playing the game, Butch has researched and studied the various techniques of elite players and has never stopped looking for ways to best teach the sport) and Vip Malixi, a writer, badminton enthusiast, illustrator and DTP expert (computer desktop publishing) have joined forces to come up with THE badminton instructional book. Butch Oreta's and Vip Malixi's "Advanced Badminton Techniques", using step-by-step photos, diagrams and illustrations with easy-to-read-and-understand descriptions, reveal the strokes, techniques and tactics of elite players. This is groundbreaking: a book finally gives regular club players and novices access to the actual techniques used by varsity, national and even international players. This can only lead to a raising of the skill level of the game, the increased popularity of the sport, and more enjoyment by its participants.

Just like the best golf and tennis instructional manuals, this book is intuitive, evenly-paced. The text are short and very readable, yet complete and clear. There are loads of pictures to explain everything. It covers power: teaching you how to have more power in all your strokes: smashes, drives, serves, etc. It teaches control: how to make those deft drops and net shots. It teaches tactics: court rotation in doubles, what to do to overcome the stresses and anxieties of crucial points and remain cool and composed, sports psychology tactics, etc. It teaches the secret stamina techniques employed by world-class players so that you're almost never tired no matter how many smashes you pound throughout the match. It explains in step-by-step fashion how to do the most-requested techniques: jump smash, tumbling net drop, high backhand, late shots, etc. It mentions the common faults and how to avoid them and it gives great tips throughout the book.
