I'm watching this Fu Haifeng video, and if you pause at around 0:49 you see how he squares his feet towards the shuttlecock. it would appear that the direction of the subsequent smash is exactly perpendicular to where his shoulders and feet are pointing.
Can we use this as a general rule for predicting the direction of jump smashes, when the lift forces them to move backwards slightly?
