Hi Badminton Insight, I just want to say thank you! Really enjoy your content and the amount of love and effort you put towards these videos.

[@BadmintonInsight]

That's so kind of you, thanks a lot 🤗🏸

[@Packgod109]

​@@BadmintonInsightI love watching your videos ❤❤❤

[@ahsanahamed4066]

Indeed! They are awesome

[@BadmintonInsight]

@@Packgod109 thanks 😁

[@bbga_]

Definitely guilty of #3, especially the whole scenario of the 'eyes lighting up' was too real 😂 Thank you for these, fellow The Office US fans ❤ Also the question has to be asked, Gregg and Jenny who are your favorite characters from the show?

[@BadmintonInsight]

Haha 😂 Good question! We like Jim and Pam 😆

[@TheSirron1]

It is amazing how you guys consistently come up with very relevant and informative vids. I honestly feel there isn't any channel out there that does as good of a job in that field of coverage. Please keep up the great work and ideas on how many of us "plebs" can better our game since there are many of us that do continue to want to improve our game, but lack the opportunity or resources to get quality "instruction and feedback" outside of online resources like KZbin etc. 🥰

[@wotones]

Thank you Greg and Jenny! This video is timely as I had just came back from a badminton session pondering on the repeated mistake #1 that I made. Will try your suggestion!

[@daveuk9305]

Another really helpful video. My badminton group was having this exact discussion a couple of weeks ago, so perfect timing 👍

[@subashchandradas3133]

That's a great video on every aspect we guys commit mistakes in Doubles. It's been so helpful ❤❤ thanks Greg and Jenny. Hopeful to see you soon playing in BWF super series

[@reflexsgm1666]

Congratulations on you marriage guys , can you guys include a short video of your marriage in the upcoming videos ❤❤

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks! We'll see what we can do! Haha

[@MiSha-8228]

Hi Jenny and Greg! Thanks for this really useful lesson! I'll try to fix these mistakes in my play

[@prinprin36]

Thanks for the great video as always! These tips will certainly help reinforce what I teach my students as you are able to explain it much better than I can. Though I feel that point number 6 can be a video on its own due to how much depth actually goes into it during a real game.

[@davidgrantmeekins8577]

Hi Greg and Jennie, certainly recognise a lot of what you are saying in my current game. I am having to learn to play left handed after partially rupturing my pectoral tendon. Still focusing on having my feet in the correct position and often find myself not focusing on position as you so clearly point out. Thanks again.

[@thegoldenboy3206]

This video couldn't have been released at a more perfect time. Also, I found the 'Don't stand too close to the net' tip particularly useful. My doubles partner told me to just stay at the front so he could have more room for smashing and I often got hit in the face lol. Anyway, love your videos! Keep making badminton more popular❤

[@willoyeung2917]

Thank you Jenny and Greg for your ongoing insights. Do you have a video for playing with plastic vs feather shuttles?

[@bastooopanooo2311]

Your videos are amazing. The more I play badminton, the more I notice issues in my games. Every time I search for solutions, your videos come up. Thanks a lot for the content.

[@antonfinenko6238]

This is such an awesome video. Practicing this requires a lot of focus but helps to win many points on the amateur level without hard hitting or grinding. Thank you very much and thanks for coming to Singapore! Hope to see you at another tournament soon.

[@PuddingRanger]

This channel so soooo sourceful for a beginner like me. The explanations are so easy to digest too. Can't thank you guys enough, Jenny, Greg🎉🎉🎉❤

[@charlesdansereau-menard3347]

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE being at the net in Men's Doubles !! It's so intense and quick... but you also have to keep your composure and focus. It's really my type of game that I prefer to play, and to coach ! Cheers from Montréal, Québec, Canada (Speaking of Canada, I was in Calgary at the beginning of July to watch the Canada Open (World Tour Super 500) and I saw that Greg and you were the 8th seed ... but you didn't play ?? :( I was hoping to see you 2 in action! )

[@Aragorn333]

Another brief but useful video as usual. Thanks a lot.

[@shanerpaderp4272]

Very good tips that I need to implement in my games, tip number 6 happens to me way too often and I end up feeling like a sitting duck. I absolutely love tip number 3, makes me laugh every time. I always see the shiny point and scuff the shot. Great video, excited for the next one 🏸😄

[@buffalobadminton]

This is excellent advice ! I found watching pro matches to be super helpful !

[@rajivvedamuthu]

Thank you guys .. amazing tips .. pls let us know more on net tap or net kill as it is very important skill for doubles 😊. ❤from Mumbai, India 🇮🇳

[@brigitte520]

Great video and advice. Wish I could do a coaching session with you. Love the practical tips and structure

[@AXMIM]

Thx, I've never been comfortable at the front as I can't intercept shot. Now I know where I should stand. This is going to help a tons!!! I always been too close to the net

[@harriethtw]

A great video and great tips again!! I also miss your signature (subtle) humor in the middle of the video :D #2 and #6 have been questions in my head for long. I somewhat figured out #2 by myself and ask myself to feel safe to stand more mid-court, but #6 is definitely a big, big help!

[@RexEditz.]

Great video, I've improved a lot when playing doubles with my friends. Also quick question, do you think I should buy the victor ryuga 2 over the ryuga 1. Why and why not? since a lot of racket comes down to skill and preferences I'm not sure. My offense and speed on the court is great, but still trying to work on defense. My current racket is a head helix racket. Which, in my opinion, is an alright racket to have at my age. I'm 13 by the way.

[@maysiphanh]

Thank you Jenny & Greg! You two always seem to know what I need. ❤ Please do a video on brushing the shuttle at the net.

[@BadmintonInsight]

You’re very welcome 😃 Have you watched our ‘2 types of net kill’ video??

[@maysiphanh]

@@BadmintonInsight Thank you! Just watched it. ❤️

[@elangoelango1878]

​@@BadmintonInsight😢

[@vishaalgargi]

Hey greg and jenny, fantastic video. I often find myself standing too close to the net waiting for that drop shot to kill it but then i cant intercept any shots so when i stand a little bit back just like whats shown in this video but now if the opponent does a cross drop shot i find it difficult. Is anticipation the only fix?

[@RaviTeja-zk4qm]

Thanks for the informative videos. I have question on backhand serve. Is it legal to rotate or change body direction from right to left or vice-versa during the serve.

[@konww002]

Thanks for video. I’ve shared it with my mates. Looking forward to a meet and greet at Bukit Jalil in the future

[@leegargensli4191]

Always learn something from your clips. Great stuff.

[@nexustanks81]

Nice video as always. I'm a victim of #3 mistakes. I stand close to the net because I have a slower body reaction and have slow movement to the front. If I were to stand abit further back, 80% of the time i am unable to retrieve the net shots. :(

[@benjhabellana]

Extremely guilty of #3 🤣 when Greg said "your eyes light up; you see the glory", I felt that hahaha. Anyway, great content once again. Thanks for the insights! Hopefully I'll be able to remember and apply these to my next game. 👍🏻 cheers! 🏸

[@tims5268]

The BIGGEST 'net' mistake any man can make is not deleting your browser history before your wife borrows your phone.

[@eddypenn]

Genuinely great advice! thanks for the video!

[@Byassch]

Awesome tips! Thanks Badminton insight.

[@bbchandru]

This is so far best and useful of all your videos i have seen. I might have missed few though :P . Good work.

[@Stefan-sp3jc]

Nice video guys! small question: which software did you use to make the court drawings (for example at 2:14)?

[@keithwilliams6460]

As always good advice and video. Can i ask. When will we see you both in tournament action?. Been watching last few on tv but not seen you in them???.

[@cy7270]

Thanks for the tips!

[@georgeroots599]

Will it be possible to hve your insights on badminton injuries for beginners related to their form ? Eg: shoulder pain/ elbow caused due to bent arm while smashing or clearing.

[@AmandeepSingh-qh1zg]

Hey sir I’m from India I gain lot of knowledge from this video and followed you since last month I really want you both make a video of mistakes in mix doubles I also plays mix doubles❤

[@curiosityOverflow]

One thing which I truly love, is Greg's imitation of a newbie. And missing certain shots knowingly in your videos. Its fun to watch! Looking forward to him playing doubles as a newbie for 1 whole game haha

[@BadmintonInsight]

🤣 hahaha thanks

[@markleong4042]

Hello love your videos. Can you make a video on how do you apply the things you learn in training in game? I am having alot of trouble applying what I learn in classes during playing games and it is affecting my games

[@emkahuda776]

I'm still impressed how good you two making all videos although im sure I have watched them many times 👏

[@upward_onward]

Like the way Greg feeds the shuttle. Can you do a video on hold to feed shuttle for short practice of different variety? Thank you

[@fabricew3972]

Excellent video! Another one in your library I will revisit multiple times to keep improving my game - thank you 🙌

Hopefully it was worth the wait 😃🏸

[@urielreibalanga10-einstein75]

@@BadmintonInsight Indeed it is. A bit guilty from a number of those you mentioned, especially the racket positioning and staying at the front of the court. It makes hitting rear-court shots significantly harder. 😅

[@cedricbaudin4160]

Very helpful vidéo as usual 😁

[@prabusmusic]

Hi badminton insight, this video was useful but can u make a video on foot work on doubles frond and back

[@Ztormrageheero]

Great video as always :) I learned a bit

[@ishanbora510]

I must say I have learnt a lot from your videos. However I have a question to ask. What to do if my partner's smashes are mostly flat but with high velocity!! I find the returns difficult to intercept.

[@chazlittle3606]

On one of your rotations you explain that the person at the front should be ready to rotate for the cross court lift after your partner does an 'under pressure' smash. I find a lot of the time they do a straight block as I am rotating for the cross lift and then my partner and myself can't get to the straight block. What should I/we do about this?

[@paulnikkoalvarez4368]

Is there playlist of your videos i can watch in order to practice and learn as a beginner?

[@h3zyyt188]

[@turbochargersutututu]

Hey! I've got a question regarding keeping your racquet up while being ready. I'm 203cm tall (6ft 8) and it's more difficult for me to take the lower shots, even though I'm bending my knees. What do I do?

[@Leandro-tb3xi]

play basketball instead 👌🤙👍

[@theodoreandreas5547]

I'd say only keep your racket up when you're in an attacking position. You taking the lower shots = your opponent hitting from above the net so they're attacking, in which case you should keep your racket low

[@turbochargersutututu]

@@Leandro-tb3xi already there.

[@turbochargersutututu]

@@theodoreandreas5547 makes sense.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Yes we’d agree! You definitely won’t have your racket up as high as smaller players!

[@AdhiMahi]

Hello Guys, I have a question Me and my partner was so well playing in any matches or practice matches we could able to take lead 4/5points but we are ending up losing the match. We couldn't able to finish the match properly with healthy lead already in our hands. So can you please share your suggestion on how to overcome this issue on finishing the match.

[@SussyWily]

Super helpful video

[@AXMIM]

Video suggestion : Playing Badminton regularly is really hard on the feet/ankles. Probably, single is even more hard on than double on this body part. What do you wear in your feet beside the shoes. Do you wear two pairs of sock or just one? Do you wear support sleeve? or do you tape your ankle? or nothing? Do you sometime have to use a badminton shoe with more support due to to much ankle stress instead of performance shoe for example? If so, how often per year? Now, this isn't in the video suggestion anymore, but do you prefer thicker grip handle or thinner grip handle? By the way, I've tried you tips tonight and it was totally effective!
