FlashStep — Your Badminton Footwork Training Companion Core Features • 6-Point Footwork Training System Covering frontcourt, midcourt, and rearcourt, both forehand and backhand — all 6 key directions on the court. Random flash mode simulates real-game situations to improve your mobility and reaction speed. • Screen Flash for Split Step Before each direction cue, the screen flashes briefly, signaling you to prepare your split step.
