5 Common Beginner Badminton Mistakes

[@BadmintonInsight]

What did you think of Greg’s acting? 😂🦹🏻 In addition to learning from our KZbin videos we have lots of resources on our website to help you improve your on-court strength, speed and endurance (such as Badminton-Specific Weights Programmes) which you can check out here: badminton-insight.com/4-badminton-specific-weights-programmes/ 🏋🏻😊

[@grahammorris1675]

Very good guys! And all really relevant too 👏👏

[@pushyamitramishra]

😀 Greg's acting is brilliant 👏 👌 Best is when he has to show wrong movements 🤩 It would be hard for him to pretend and do those common mistakes what I do during my game 😹 For wining Oscar he needs to learn 🕺 💃 dance only everything else he does perfectly 🥰 💞

Another great vid! Bad footwork I think is the most common mistake. I know I made that mistake in the past, but after learning the proper footwork, I realised that the base of every good shot is a good position, which is what you'll get if you have good footwork. You may hit the shuttle with your racket which is in your hand, but your feet move significantly more.

[@chiyonii.]

I’m thoroughly impressed you delivered the sponsored message while doing drills😂 Great job!

The view of the grips from the person holding the racket is such a nice touch, this is a great video!

[@keithwilliams6460]

Good advice as always. Not been playing for while as dreaded mental health issues. Also injury to playing partner. 😢. But it is a sport that is great to help forget issues and have fun . You guys are brill at promoting badminton . In my opinion it should be shown on more tv rather than just yiu tube etc. Keep up good wrk and keep trying in them matches. One day you will get there.

I really appreciate how, as two left-handed, you mirror parts of the video to picture right-handed situations. But in those scenes, you have neutral jerseys... Maybe you can ask your sponsor for a set of jerseys printed in mirror, just for the videos?

Thx for the tips! Also, can you do a vid of the rally/game rules. Like serving and outsides? I just see my opponent, throwing the shuttle upwards and then smashing it, it feels like it's wrong to do that in badminton.

[@luukbosma4447]

@BadmintonInsight hey, badminton Insight I’ve looked around all youtube but I can’t find a video anywhere of explaining the footwork of a singles netshot with your foot forward anticipating a net shot and walking towards the rear court for different types of lifts Could you do a video in the future with focus on the footwork - Moving from FH front netshot to Bh back -Moving from Bh front netshot to Fh back -Moving from Fh front netshot to Fh back -Moving from Bh front netshot to Bh back Have a good week :)

[@ccayadi1]

Sorry for out of topic question. I think I prefer thicker grip but new rackets mostly come with G5 very slim grip. Using towel overgrip helps a bit. Do you perhaps have good solution?

[@delonteeast7955]

Incredibly useful tips guys! Thanks!

[@inghell]

Great video but I got a quick question. .. how do you use the split step in doubles? At least in singles you will play the next shot but with doubles that’s not the case so you can’t build up the rhythm in the same way. Do you just apply the split step in the same way?

[@Kami_26]

yes, it will help you move faster to unexpected shots like drops while still giving you a better position in defence.

[@zmollon]

Gregs costume 😂 amazing! And i laughed out loud at he part about someone hacking into the channel and showing bad badminton technique.

[@MrBlackManDude]

Thank you so much the grips are the ones i am really worried about since i have a match Nov 27 2023(tomorrow) the index finger pointing up is what i do because im comfortable with it but now im addicted to forehand and backhand grip

[@Destiny2097]

I thought hitting to the middle is fine in some cases to cut return angles like smash to the middle in doubles or net block return in singles. But I guess this advice means to make the opponent move 🙂

[@ThetaWindfall]

My main issue at the moment is when I'm playing up the front and it comes above me and all I need to do is just smash it down, but I end up hitting too long or completely missing it and missing all together...

[@mish2393]

Hello guys ! I have such a hauting question 😅 I use towel grip, should I get rid of the original grip and apply the towel grip directly on the wood handle or just stick it to the original black grip ? If someone could help me that would be so cool :)

[@Sazuyu]

you should definitely stick it to the original black grip

[@DarrenSaw]

Great video and bang on the money as usual. These are errors you see all the time in club badminton. Even some otherwise quite decent players exhibit one or two of these basic errors that hold them back from moving up to the next level.

[@Jason-qs1eh]

Love the videos however in this one I feel some of them are more of a skill level issue… if they are beginners they cant control where they are hitting and let alone having a less obvious swing. One of the biggest beginner mistake I find is actually trying to make difficult shots which they cannot do plus going for the win every single shot causing the game to have no rallies.

If you have good footwork, the only way to increase speed further that I know of is to train your legs for both endurance and explosive power, try cardio and sprint training.

[@TheHi-T]

Incorrect warmup drills are what I see frequently. Even people I have been playing with 10+ years continue to do this. Step on the court & immediately smash, aiming at my body & face. I have to stand at the rear court to keep myself safe. Then they do clears or try to make me play half court singles. It is such a waste of time. For the first game, I just play lifts to warm up. Then they wonder why their shoulders hurt.😂 Then they feel 😢 when I am properly warmed up & able to smash at them.
