Must be because this is bad habit #11 🤲😂 Happy new year guys!!

[@lichbaw]

not gonna lie, watched greg and jenny since 2023, i have to admit they improved my doubles game. after every shot tutorial,i would practice it and actually try to find it myself. wishing both of you a healthy and safe new year! good luck for your future tournaments as well!

Thank you very much! Happy new year to you too 😃

Really liked the bloopers left in the video (when doing the counting). But next time only leave the blooper, no need for a re-do. You already established the main point and it makes the video more human and adds warmth to the video.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Ah glad you liked it being left in 😃 we actually had this discussion in the edit 😂 Greg said no need for the re-do but Jenny thought both was better haha

[@walled6766]

HAPPY NEW YEAR GREG AND JEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO

[@JR-1983]

Another bad habit is a poor knock up for me where some people just try to beat you rather than warm you up correctly.

[@AjayVerma-by7lm]

Thank you for the amazing video! Wishing you a joyful and successful New Year. I feel blessed to have teachers like you. Keep sharing your knowledge! 😀💝💥💫

[@aaraviyer]

Thanks Greg and Jenny! Your videos have taught me more in a few minutes than my coach could in 6 months 🫡 🙇🏽 Happy New Year!!

You’re welcome! That’s great to hear 😃😃

[@abeidiot]

13:15 sometimes we do extremely obvious mistakes but there is no coach around to fix them. Looking back this seems so obvious but I have definitely been making this mistake a lot

[@BadmintonInsight]

Yes - sometimes we don’t realise we’re doing them! Thats why we made this video 😁

[@GENJI-ph7cm]

I've been watching Badminton Insight since the start of 2024 and they've improved my doubles game alot, I wish both of you will have a great life

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it Fredrik 😊 2025 is going to be awesome 💪🏼🏸

[@GarethHughes-m1v]

Another great video. Interesting to see this. I play too many cross court shots. The grip one is definitely something I do. Not changing my grip quickly enough. I will look to use what you have said. Try and apply them to practice.

[@zmollon]

"Are you a badminton player who has never had a coach?" Worse. I'm a coach who has never had a coach and didn't start playing until after I graduated from university. But I want to improve to help my students and this channel is helping me video after video. Thanks

[@CubanScience1]

Thanks Greg and Jenny! I have a video suggestion, I see alot of folks are now steaming badminton shuttles to increase the feathers durability and shuttle lifespan. It's not something that makes sense to me and surely your slowing the speed of the shuttle by adding moisture and therefore weight. Would be great to see it tested across the different brands etc Keep up the great work!

[@notinreality]

Thanks for the tips!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Happy to help! 😁🏸

[@sharikaS-sf7fj]

Your videos are amazing! I've learnt a lot and am improving in badminton. Thank you!!

[@lenguyenngoc479]

Slow down the serve really helps me today. I was losing 9-16 and realized i should slow down and think why did i lose previous points. Turns out I was pushing my brother backhand too much. it's predictable and he got used to it. I changed my placement to his forehand and won some points. Managed an upset with 21-18

[@crowleydking]

Good tips again.. finally something I can show my friend!!! ahahahah My bad habit is really going to the front immediately... :( :( Thanks again Jen and Greg for this... :) :) :)

[@BadmintonInsight]

Glad you found it useful 😃 and yes please share with your friends haha

[@simon2046]

I would say even upper intermediate and even some advanced players sometimes don't use their non-racket arm enough for overhead shots (like not enabling their chest to open up enough). I was studying the overhead swing a lot, there's actually a lot of misconceptions regarding the position of the shuttle contact point. I noticed some players swing their racket too much forward resulting in a very flat and high smash mostly with their arm strength and not using enough rotation/pronation of the arm. This is a common mistake if the player is positioned way behind of the shuttle and the player hits the shuttle too early in front of them (more than the ideal 0.5m in front of the body). It has to be right above their head or at least 0.5 m in front. The positioning matters a lot which goes in hand with their footwork speed. More experienced players develop faster tracking of the shuttle as well as faster movement backwards to the shuttle by taking bigger steps. For the elite players, I would say the one tip is to always try to change pace along with varying shot placements, or do isolation once in a while. The change of pace at the highest level is important whether is changing the pace of footwork or pace of the shots. VA and Kodai are known to play at only 1 pace, but VA makes it up with high quality shots and placements.

It would works fine match your muscle memory. I suggest you to train shadow steps, it will fix your precision moment to hit shuttle.

[@leongchoongwah]

Three other bad habits not getting the racquet ready especially front player, not using wrist work swinging the arm like a tennis or squash player and not lifting the non racquet hand to hit base line shots, shots ended at mid-court or smash no power.

[@caelune7793]

I always get flicked on the first serve I receive regardless of who I play or if I've played them before, so it makes sense for me to be on the doubles service line lol.

[@jeremycling]

can i say watching the pros matches and learning from them is important but when i watch i realise they play a lot more cross court shots too eventhough one of your suggestion is to play less cross court shots. Obviously the cross court shot needs to be very very high quality everytime its hit or as your video shows its a death sentence for us amateurs...lol

[@nickhomer40]

Do you know any substitutes for watching your matches back? People at my club are uncomfortable with me recording, so it's unfortunately not an option for me.

Another bad habit ive noticed are illegal serves. With no service judge, I’ve had 1.8m tall opponent serving at the height of their shoulders, and lots of player have their racket head above handle. Also let’s not forget those who swing their racket multiple times before the hitting serve. I call these out and people are just like 🙈🤷‍♂️

Confession...i just noticed Jenny is also left handed and it's my 30-40th video of yours I've watched 😅

[@hurricane478]

Hi guys, love your videos and been watching these for a few years now. I appreciate that it makes it a lot easier to record at home rather than doing it at the courts, but I would recommend watching this video by Tom Scott to make the green screen a little more convincing. The main thing is to match the position of the camera in the original scene, so if you have the camera at a certain height and angle when taking the background image, then match that height and angle when you record yourselves at home. Also maybe when you are taking the background picture, see what distance you would usually stand from the camera and replicate that too. Here's the Tom Scott video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2arg6mHg8xnprM Once again i am really grateful that you make these videos and they have been a major help to my game. Thank you, and all the best to you too!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you very much for the comment 😃 it’s great to hear you’ve been enjoying our videos!!
