<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Smash accuracy is one of the important factors in men’s doubles badminton because it is closely related to attacking effectiveness and the opportunity to score points. Based on observations conducted at PB Gor Warna Agung Ampenan, several athletes were still unable to direct the shuttlecock consistently, causing the shots to frequently hit the net or land outside the court. This study aimed to analyze the effect of drilling smash and stroke smash training on improving smash accuracy among men’s doubles badminton athletes at PB Gor Warna Agung Ampenan in 2024. The study employed a quantitative approach using an experimental method with a two group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 12 men’s doubles athletes divided into two groups using the ordinal pairing technique. The research instrument used a badminton smash accuracy test based on PB PBSI standards. The treatment was carried out through drilling smash and stroke smash training programs implemented progressively during the training period. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the t-test at a 5% significance level. The results showed that both training methods had an effect on improving the athletes’ smash accuracy. Drilling smash training was more effective in improving shot direction consistency, while stroke smash training helped athletes adapt their shots to more dynamic game situations. Therefore, both training methods can be used as alternative programs for developing smash techniques in men’s doubles badminton athletes.
