watching two world class players who are also in a committed relationship act like the most uncoordinated and toxic mixed doubles pair for the sake of demonstration will always be funny to me lmao

[@sreejithsreenivasan8939]

You Being a world class player should ignore this channel IMAO😂

[@BadmintonInsight]

🤣

[@wakeup7157]

So mean😮

[@daves_utube9916]

you dipstick,.. these two are the best combination I have ever seen on court, being in a relationship is completely irrelevant, you need to pull your head in and learn something, these guys are brilliant, @@wakeup7157

[@adamalegar6883]

No one understood your comment😭

[@ronnie4202]

for everyone wondering what racket greg is holding, that's actually the Victor DriveX 10 Metallic. Took awhile to find out what model it was, but I still got it in the end. Great video by the way, keep it up!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Haha, thanks Ronnie 😁

[@amitavraja3385]

Probably the best video in playing doubles! And much needed as most front court players don’t know what to do or how to intercept well. At last we have a good video from the professionals like Badminton Insight!🙏👏

[@jaysu6554]

learning to read the game each match by each match , thank you for sharing the helpful tips ! ^^

[@BadmintonInsight]

Awesome 💪🏸

[@daveuk9305]

Another excellent series of explanations 👍👍👍 Yes, standing too close to the net is definitely one the most common issues with the front player. Congratulations on hitting the 400k subscriber mark. Recalling the earlier days of badminton + evening jobs to keep yourselves going; it is a pity the sport struggles to attract higher levels of sponsorship and consequently player funding in England.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks a lot Dave! Yes we're very lucky & fortunate that Badminton Insight is enabling us to play the tournaments as professional players 😊

[@billylaw2875]

Congratulations to you both. Merry Xmas and lots of love from Malaysia

[@danryray4783]

Congratz for the 400k..

[@GrainlyStudios]

Congratulations on 400k+ subscribers! For the Q&A: How do you both handle jet lag when playing in tournaments such as the ones in Asia?

[@zenokill]

Your videos are top notch!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you so much!

[@bryantay9914]

Congrats on the 400k, my question is how to practice the jump smash and especially the jumping motion in it. Will definitely help with deceptive shots as well as the jump smash. Videos are really helpful and allowed me to improve on certain things in badminton . Thx

[@shan-hc9in]

Thanks for the tips Greg and Jenny we wish to see more contents on front court 👏🏻🥳

[@BadmintonInsight]

Gotcha 😜

[@ishgirwan]

This really gives me an insight into what I had been doing wrong while intercepting. Thanks and congrats for 400k :). My question would be : How can we judge if a flick serve is going out or not as I keep misjudging them thinking it's going out. Thanks.

[@maysiphanh]

First, congratulations on 400k subs! What a milestone! Second, thank you so much for this video!! I say this all the time but it seems like every time I feel like I need to work on a certain thing, you share a video on it. Lol I really appreciate the tips. Keep up the amazing work. Btw, Greg, I see that you’re holding the new Thruster Ryuga Metallic in your hand!! Are you’re moving on from the Thruster F Enhanced Racket?!!

[@badmintonscroll]

It's a big accomplishment. Congratulations. I'm also looking forward to seeing a new tutorial and shot breakdown video. Also, it's lovely to see you play on the European circuit. I wish you all the success and happiness. Love from India♥️

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you 🫶

[@0077tahir]

Congratulations for achieving 400k, and thanks for making such informative and detailed videos. My question , as a badminton player , who is suffering from shoulder , elbow and wrist injuries simultaneously 😂 , is , please make some videos to address injuries in badminton. It will help thousands like me.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you so much 😁 500,000 would be crazy 😱🤩

[@bradparmar4728]

This video on Interception is excellent. What is difficult is there are many complex skills to be put at use n therfore each of those need to be mastered, One at a Time n hopefully learn All with good synchronization. Good Luck! * I intercept; making sure my elbows are high and as fixed as possible; only allowing my forehand & wrist to fo the interception- as there may be a need for multi inception to Win.

[@endless-3161]

Congrats on the 400k! And do I see the DriveX10 there with Greg??

[@Fpbiuos]

just what i needed

[@petdootaku733]

Wow! I love your content and DriveX 10 metallic in your hand

[@seemamathew2027]

Congratulations on your achievement 👏 We love your channel and eagerly look forward to the videos. We have a 12 year old enthusiastic badminton player who is keen on becoming the best he can. Can you share your story of your early development in the sport? How you trained, focus areas, handling pressure at that age and how coaches/parents can support? You both are a huge inspiration and we would love to get more insight in this topic❤Thanks from Norway. From Leo (12 years) and parents❤

[@vibestech]

As always, very useful sand informative video

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you 😁🏖

[@chirumallapavankumar]

I have been watching you for a year i think that Greg and Jenney proceed with excellent content which I really love because as a badminton player that's my hobby

[@jonmassey8996]

New racket Greg? Nice video thanks again guys!!!

[@nexustanks81]

I have been waiting for the interception topics! Thank you! As a giveaway, i think it would be great if is racket + racket bag / sleeve with both of your signature!

[@JessifurC]

- Can you go into detail about back-court movement in doubles? In particular Receiving a service-return drive or aggressive lift (especially to backhand sides). What grip do we use to make these shots, how is the stroke properly performed (biomechanics), and what's the form for the lateral footwork movement (e.g. side to side jump intercept; it'd be helpful if you can show how we're supposed to land without putting too much strain on our joints.)

[@yuzerohunter6694]

love your video as always and congrats for the 400k subs! I am a newcomer in badminton and eager to learn proper techniques & skills, one question for you two, could you explain how to assess our skill level whether at beginner, intermediate , and advance / professional? hope you could answer this one on the next vid!

[@brianbaker6198]

just wanted to say right off the top that your videos are great, helpful and engaging. My question is , what weight are your rackets and how tight are your strings? Cheers

[@racketguy]

Great video. What do you think about the environmental and ethical concerns regarding feather shuttles?

[@muchlis5263]

you guys are awesome

[@ERLIANDonato]

Hello so im an intermediate player wanting to be an advanced player love your vids keep it up!!

[@leenatran7255]

You guys are amazing! I've enjoyed each and every video you posted and also signed up on Patreon! The most interesting video I've found on your channel would probably the "How to read the game". Could you talk more about shot selection and strategy as a doubles player?

[@BadmintonInsight]

Amazing! Awesome to have you in the Patreon community 🫶 We definitely want to make more videos on that in the future!

[@brianbaker6198]

Congratulations on making 400,000 subscribers. You two really deserve it., My question is how do I stop myself from just stopping after I make a shot. Sometimes I think the rally is over and just stand there like we already won the rally. Maybe I am just lazy?
