How important is wrist power?

​

People say to me "using your wrist is the power in badminton". Yes, sort of, but it isn't what people think.

How important is wrist power?

The wrist power is important but is irrelevant if you are not doing efficient footwork to the shot and a dynamic arm movement.

It is like me saying, how would you get more grip on a car going round corners? Most people will say change to better/wider tyres. Yes, but would be better if you balanced the weight of the car correctly to take the corners, lower the car, add a spoiler to add more downwards force and had harder suspension. That is the actually answer.
