Does multiple shuttles feeding helps you

We are looking at this area as there are some questions asked during my visit to Vietnam.
The difference between shuttles feeding and natural rally training is :

1) If there is a coach attending to lets say 4 athletes in a court, actual training hours for individual athlete is 30 mins for 2 hours spend.
Not productive

2) Shuttle feeds from 1 direction, not good for the athlete as his eyes only reads that.
Athlete's eyes is not exposed to actual different body movement and types of deliveries from the opponent in the game

3) If shuttles fed with a fixed pattern then athlete will likely move without the command of the eyes but move according to the pattern earlier designed by the coach.
This is serious as the athlete is now training to move not from the command of the eye. In other words not reading the shots.

4) Shuttle fed speed maybe too fast or too slow, not natural again.
Athlete will focus more on getting every shuttle fed and thus compromises in body posture, technical skills and footwork. More to it is that there is no quality returns just trying to get every shuttles over to the other side of the court.


So the next time you train, think what you actually want. You can discuss with your coach on what you want to focus on for that training day.

I bet you will be happy going home with something you learn every time you go for your training.

So enjoy your training and you will look forward to the next training day to come.
