Advanced Badminton
Kevin Han's Advanced Badminton DVD covers all the drills necessary to improve one's game. I suspect that most of the really good players I meet have practiced most if not all the drills. This DVD is a great help for any player who has mastered the basic shots but needs information about how to improve them. One might encounter difficulty if control and placement of the shuttle is not good. Some of the drills require the ability to place the shuttle consistantly at a specific location on the court and continue the rally with your partner.

The negative side is that the camera angles do not clearly show the detailed movement of Han's racquet. That requires trial and error on the part of the student to learn the precise motion. I play with many Mandarin speaking players but I had to replay several parts of the DVD to understand what Han is saying.
