球拍拉线经验总结之一 · 2010年01月28日 01:06 下午
由于平时的打球和教球活动比以往多，使用球拍的时间相对增多，以致球拍的磨损加快。原来一、二个月才发生的断拍线情况就大大提前。如此这样，到外面请人拉线的开支就直线上升。为了能自给自足和有可能的帮助一起打球的朋友和学员，自己于08年底在网上购买了一部台式拉线机。 从而开始不断地为自己积累拉线经验。
在现行众多不同的拉线法中，主要区分为两点拉线法和四点拉线法。通过学习和实践，并不断地与有经验的师傅请教和交流，加之总结提高，现已逐步的形成一套相对自己拉线机型号来说，较为合理和可行的拉线程序和方法。
在市面上，有各种快速拉线法，多数属于两点拉线法。其特点是快速，在大陆国内，有进行过专业拉线比赛表演，最快的师傅可以在12分钟左右完成从装拍上机、穿线、拉线到打结整个过程。其弊病是搞不好容易伤球拍。主要原因是为了快，穿线员先将竖线和横线都穿好，将共线问题提前解决，然后从球拍的一侧向中间、在向另一侧拉紧每条竖线。其过程拍框受力不均匀，发生拉线过程的变形。虽然在拉完竖线后，拍款能恢复左右两边对称，但在拉高磅数拍线时，即使拉线机有六点固定，拍框还是会变形大，容易出问题。
YONEX采用四点拉线法，并从拍中间分别向两侧拉竖线，拍框受力均匀，有益保护球拍。但由于一条10米长的标准线被事先剪断为两条不同长度的线段，线头多了，就难以事先将横竖线都穿好才上磅数。等到逐条加磅拉紧后，有些共线孔被缩紧，难以再穿入横线。拉线的速度就减慢了。
自己的拉线机是依靠平衡杆和重力锤拉线，在给拍线加磅数时所需要的引线较长（其线夹到拍框的距离为45厘米），这样就难以采用先穿好横竖线再上磅拉紧。而在拉线过程中，最让人头疼的事情和最耗时的事情就是如何处理共线孔。而球拍的设计又有许多共线孔。具体为：拍头处两侧的第6、7、8、9、10、11孔为共线孔；而在拍底的第12、10、9、8孔为共线孔。如果有好的方法、程序和步骤能解决共线穿孔问题，那么，拉线的速度就能提高，拉线的质量就有保证。自己在使用对比不同的拉线方之后，终于找到了解决办法。

此球有如神助 · 2010年01月19日 02:42 上午
周日晚在RICHMOND市的羽毛球俱乐部活动地点打球，由于大家水平相近，参加人数也不多，所以玩得十分尽兴，有些漂亮刁钻的击球还让人有些回味无穷。其中在我们最后的一场比赛里，当对方以20比17拿到局点时，我方只能背水一战了。在几次多拍来回攻防之后，幸运之神倾向我们。比分改写成20比20。我们挽救了3个局点。比赛进入加分。接着，对方在自己后场反手位突然起板杀直线成功，再次拿到局点。我们又顽强地追回一分，比分到了21比21。
比赛成了白热化。双方都想夺取最后胜利，但我们想赢球的欲望更强。几经轮番进攻，我们拿到局点，以22比21反超。这是整局比赛中我方第一次反超。对方也是不言败，他们在拉吊中突然攻击我队友的反手位后场端角，然后提前移动到网前抓球，并且抓个正着。只见对方球员将回球在网带上轻轻一抹，球就贴网落入我方场地内。就在球落地前的一瞬间，我也快速奔到网前使出一招“海底捞月”，将球拍轻轻切击球托，让球贴网垂直自旋升起。此时，球就如一只小白鼠一样，在网带上窜动并滚过对方一侧。尽管对方球员早已举拍准备封杀我的回球。无奈此球有如神助，对方球员也只有望球兴叹了。这样我们最终以23比21获胜。此球真是幸运。(温哥华001 www.Van001.com)

Brief Return to Badminton · 2010年01月08日 11:06 下午
Once again, I haven't written here in a long time. This is because I haven't been playing badminton at all due to various academic and personal commitments. The last year of school is tough, and I really need to focus in order to end my undergrad career on a high note.
However, this doesn't mean that I can't play any badminton ever. Last Friday I went to play badminton with JP at the "club" that he organizes. The last time I played badminton was about half a year ago, but surprisingly I didn't feel too rusty at the start of the session. During the first game, I made some errors, and my serve was a little sporadic, but I thought I did alright for a guy who hasn't played in six months. At least my smash and clear seemed to be present, and my side won the first game. The good things continued throughout the night as I won all except one game. In the one game I lost, I was partnered with a beginner, and since I'm not much of player myself my side lost the battle.
So overall, my return to badminton after six months turned pretty well... or so I thought. The morning after I woke up and my entire lower body plus right arm was sore. I could still walk, but only barely, and going up stairs was quite uncomfortable.The soreness lasted until the next Monday. I'm sure if I played regularly then I wouldn't have been nearly as sore. I should really more badminton, but unfortunately school started again, which means I probably won't be playing badminton for next few months. It's too bad, but school comes first. Guess I won't be writing here for another long while.

Sunday Badminton with Newly Strung Racket · 2009年06月21日 08:32 下午
Today JP and I went to play badminton with some of JP's friends like usual. There were only seven of us today, which meant that each player would get plenty of court time. Two weeks ago I broke the string on my favorite racket, an old Techno Pro 660 that I've used forever. Last week I played with another racket, but this week JP had gotten around to restringing my racket so I got my old favorite back again, but this time with some nice red strings. Like any newly strung racket, my racket felt different when I first handled it today. The hitting surface felt hard and devoid of bounciness, and I couldn't get good control on the ball. This was probably the reason I lost my first two games of the days, because I wasn't used to my newly strung racket.
After the first two games though I've adjusted to the racket and managed to win my next two games, once paired up with JP and once with another old-time player who I'll refer to as Cee from now on. I lost my next contest though because my partner,who was the guy who organizes these sessions, hurt his back while playing his first game today.With the injury, my partner Eee (his name from now on) couldn't run or hit too hard, and I wasn't fast enough to cover all of the openings.
Six games in now, I was paired with a guy named Kay (who is also one of JP's many badminton friends) against Cee and a young lefty who I'll call R. It was a very close game. Our side had the power advantage because of my smashes, but our opponents were experienced and had good defence. The game went over the 21 point mark as a tie and finally Kay and I won the game 25-23.
I was pretty tired after the marathon of the sixth game, and promptly lost my seventh game in which I was paired with R against JP and Kay. For my final and eigth game, I was still paired with R while our opponents were Kay and Cee. R and I put up a stinker last game, but some reason we were playing much better this time and held a slim lead over our more-experienced opponents. I guess our opponents were tired like we were and didn't attack too much, and my smashes were able to get through their defenses. The game ended up being a close contest, but R and I managed to edge it out 21-18.
So in total I played eight games for the day, which is about three to four games more than I usual want to play. Needless to say, I'm tired and sore all over, but I'm glad that we had some fun and I got my daily exercise. My record for the day was 50-50 again with four wins and four losses, but I'm more satisfied today than last Sunday since I played some pretty good games today.

Sunday Badminton: Only So-so · 2009年06月14日 08:02 下午
It's Sunday once again, which means it's time for another Sunday badminton session report. This week in addition to the court JP's friends had booked, JP also booked a court himself because he invited some of his other friends to play. We had two courts and about a dozen players for about two hours, which means there was plenty of court time for everyone. Just like last week, I didn't play very well this week but unfortunately my opponents were in better shape. At the end I only one four of the eight games I played, and there was one particular game that my side should have won but I screwed up a put away near the end and lost 19-21. I just wasn't feeling well today. I had trouble moving my feet, and there were tons of easy shots that I missed. I suppose I'm still rusty from not playing badminton for two months prior to last Sunday. Hopefully things will be better next week.
Well actually if I want to get better at badminton then I should probably train, but I have a full-time co-op position right now and have to study for a test, so I don't have the time. At least none of the people I'm playing against seems to be getting better lol.

My Triumphant Return to Badminton · 2009年06月08日 05:34 下午
After being absent from the sport for over a month, I finally returned to the court to play badminton last Sunday. The people JP and I used to play with on Sunday have reconvened so I have a place to play again. As expected after a long absence, I wasn't in the greatest shape, but it turns out that nobody was on form during that session, so I wasn't really at a disadvantage. Most of the games we played were sloppy with a lot of careless shots and unforced errors. They were not very competitive for the most part with one side (usually mine) having a clear advantage. There were also some air currents in the badminton center and that made things even worse. I lost my first game, but won every subsequent game during the session, so this qualifies as a "triumphant return" in my books since I could have done a lot worse. As expected, I'm feeling a bit sore today after yesterday's session, but it's not too bad since the games weren't tough.
Supposedly there will also be badminton next Sunday, so I'll post after that session as well. Hopefully the group will return to a regular schedule I have somewhere to play every week.

打羽毛球一定要重视眼睛的保护 · 2009年04月08日 11:07 下午
前两周的打球活动中，正当人人都十分享受的打球乐趣时，突然发生了一件料想不到的不幸事故。我们一位球友被双打搭档从身后抽球时伤了眼睛，让大家都十分的难过。如今，虽然事情过，但回想起来还是有许多地方需要我们吸取教训的。
本来，那天晚上的打球活动有许多人参与，其中有几位新球友。他（她）们的球技与我们的老球友相比还是不够娴熟。为了能让我们所有的参与者都能尽兴的打球。我们活动的组织者就分开来与新球友配对进行双打和混双比赛。其中，有位女生还比较少参加强对抗的打球活动，所以由我带她一起进行了4场比赛。整个活动过程都完成得不错。我们的混双均取得胜利。由于我知道这位女生的打球经验还是很少，在休息的时候就特别的提醒打羽毛球中最危险的是眼睛被伤害。所以要学会保护自己的眼睛。
然而，话刚说完，那些最不希望发生的事情就很快发生。在她的第五场比赛中，她与我们另一位打球组织者配对以混双战男双时，结果，在被对方回击了一个高远球过了头顶后，她在中场回头想看那球是否出界，结果不幸被自己的队友在身后一个大力的抽球击中眼睛。当时就眼睛即刻受伤，可想那近距离的抽球的力度是多大。
作为打球活动的组这者，我为发生这样的危险受伤事故而十分的难受。如果我们有经验的球友能意识到这样的抽球会给队友造成伤害，他能放弃击球，什么事就不会发生：如果这位女生不要回头看球，最多就只是被抽球击中后脑勺，也不会伤到眼睛。而事故就在大家都没有意识到的情况下发生了。
强烈建议打羽毛球的球友们能自我采取保护措施，戴上防护镜。

Saturday Night Badminton · 2009年04月01日 08:07 下午
Last Saturday night I went with JP to an one-hour badminton session with two of his buddies. I don't usually go to these sessions because most of the time there are four players already including JP, but last Saturday they were short one person so I went along. Since there were only four of us we pretty much played non-stop for the duration and managed to get in four games. All four games were JP and I vs. his buddies, and we won all four of the games, but all were close contests. We could have won with a larger margin but I wasn't playing too well that day. My power game was there, but I made a lot of unforced errors and my feet were slow. As for our opponents, the guy who organized the session was an average player, but his partner was pretty experienced and has a nice backcourt drop shot. In at least two of the games JP and I were down initally and had to come back to win. This is especially the case in the last game, where JP and I were down 9-15 and I was struggling. We got the serve back thanks to an opponent error, and I just decided to stay up front and swing at what I can. That turned out to be a good plan as we basically stopped the opponent from hitting to our backcourt. At the end we won 21-15, going on a 12 point run to finish the game.
Even though it was only an one hour session, I was feeling pretty tired and beat up since we played four close games non-stop, and therefore the next day I play with our usual Sunday group.
