We hope you enjoyed our World Championships Vlog 🇩🇰 What do you think - could Greg do an Ironman tomorrow? 👀 Also, if you’re interested in joining our Patreon, here’s the link - www.patreon.com/badmintoninsight 😊🏸

Ez xP

[@lakshminarayanan1458]

Greg is legendary on jump smash and deception

[@johnanderson8085]

Perhaps let the neck heal before doing an Ironman...otherwise Greg could do one nae bother! :)

[@Bambus_E]

Obviously he would be in the Top 10! 💪🏼

[@stuckwithl1]

Hmm not sure about the Ironman to be honest 😊

[@jarrodsplace]

You know what’s great about you two. Your honesty and vulnerability. Coming on these journeys with you is so insightful. Both for what happens in the comps but what is happening with you both. You talk openly about your trials and tribulations. You wear your hearts on your sleeve and bring us all along.

[@arash2792]

I agree

[@LopezJosephRainiel]

that was quite a run in the world championship, congrats on the wins and come back stronger😊

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you 😀

[@NeelamTeji-q7p]

You both are the real superstar in badminton world. Your positive response even after loss is so admirable. ❤

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you so much 🥹

[@kevidetuodzuvichu2517]

Thank you both for taking us to experience an amazing world championship! Love it! Inspite of a big tournament, keeping your fans in mind haven't gone unnoticed ♥️

[@krizjiancirculado3377]

I love how they show a badminton pro player's life as basically just having fun, showing us that a competition is not intimidating if you have the right mindset, and enjoying their time whilst focusing on their matches and goals.

[@MarvinSanchez-pj3rf]

Good run, Jenny and Greg! Hope you guys win more next time. I’d also love for you guys to create a video explaining the different badminton events. What it takes and how difficult it is to be world champions. I think it will help grow the fanbase if people understood storylines.

[@pininprestatyn]

Hey! A bit late to the party. Just catching up on my KZbin subs. Just wanted to say your content is absolutely brilliant! The graphics, up close and personal view into your life and all the hard work you put in, both on the court and the editing is top notch. By far the best Badminton channel in KZbin! I’ve learnt so much and really enjoy everything you share. A big thank you! You’re awesome! :) Matt.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Hi Matt! Thank you very much that's so nice of you 😀 Better late than never 😜

[@professorm3136]

You guys provide great training videos and fun challenges, but I also really love your vlogs. We get to see the “behind the scenes” of a pro badminton player and how your interaction with other players are on tour. Take care of your injury and can’t wait for your next video!

[@remilaurence6459]

I'm impressed on how calm you are before this major tournament matches, every time I have a tournament I'm so stressed ! Love your vlog videos, keep up the good work

[@BadmintonInsight]

We're not always that calm on the inside! Haha but yeah it's important to try and stay quite relaxed 😊 Thanks a lot!

[@keefeye4383]

Hey! Don’t beat yourself up. I think you guys did great! Despite being injured and not training for a period of time, your performance still well-exceed our expectations! What’s more is the courage and commitment to continue playing despite the pressure (high skilled opponents/world championship) and Greg’s injury😊. The fact that you guys are a married couple, are still passionate for badminton together AND are making exceptional entertaining and educational badminton content (which I have never seen any other badminton players do as of date)….You guys are doing amazing! You might not be the World best badminton players, but you’re drive and determined spirit are simply extraordinary😊. Honestly, I’ve been adopting a lot of your advice you post on your channel. Maybe someday, we’ll get to I love to play together (and teach me a thing or 2 😜)! But for now, rest well and keep up the good work!!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Hey! Thank you so much for your very nice comment, it's made our day reading this 😊 It means a lot that you notice and appreciate our efforts into making this content whilst playing ourselves 🏸☺️

[@reshlol]

[@BadmintonInsight]

Not the best...! Thanks a lot Graham 😊 We also like watching KZbin videos on the tv! 🏸🏸

[@newham70]

Great Vlog guys. Really enjoyed your first match. You dominated it so well and wouldn't of known Greg was injured. Greg for Iron Man...😂😂😂😂🎉

[@raoanwar178]

Please make a detailed video about proper Pronation of elbow and also tell what exercise is needed for pronation??

[@tommi9511]

Crazy to see you guys play against Tomic in your first game in the World Championship. Last season he played for my hometown club in the 2nd Bundesliga in Germany. So interesting to see how each player goes their individual way. :)

[@BadmintonInsight]

Oh wow, that’s awesome! Small world 🙂

[@malinduwenushka6979]

Oh poor greg Hope you recover soon. You are the best🏸 Lv U ❤️

[@patrickhoogendoorn1317]

Think this is actually one of your better vlogs guys, it's the truth, you're not always 100% and love you dare to show this. Regarding the Ironman, this could create at least 3 vlogs ;-) Keep up the good work and loved I was in again in the YDO22 part ;-)

[@BadmintonFlick49]

Please make a tutorial on the deceptive shot it would be really nice to lean that 🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸🏸

[@shanerpaderp4272]

Very happy that you all still decided to play. Congratulations on the win in the first match, played really well despite the limitations. So is the next video is greg doing the ironman 😏

[@BadmintonInsight]

Haha apparently yes it is 😂🙈

[@imowiz5618]

Sending hugs from Malaysia! Thanks alot for your vlog, it feels better to know players do feel highly pressured when in high level games n felt hard to overcome it. May Greg recovered well soon n good luck to both of you on next tournament 😊

[@FormulaShuttle]

just finished watching the mixed final so wanted Zheng/Haung to win😢👏🏻But the koreans played well.👏🏻

[@BadmintonInsight]

Us too! 😢 They did, it was a great match!

Thank you! That's great to hear 😃 We'll try our best!

[@mugmmmm_]

​@@BadmintonInsightGood to know. Hope Greg's neck is better now, but anyway, great game and the fight you both put up was amazing. ❤

[@danieloverheu2500]

Congrats to 400k subcribers. I would love to see more of the men doubles tactic series

[@stanleytantoy-i9m]

you guys are the reason why and how i found my sport and what's the best beginner racket? I'm currently using the aplsport bbq2

[@ccayadi1]

Both of you are fun to watch, thank you for the interesting and fun tutorials. Thank you

[@erwannsm4730]

Thanks again for the video. It's so cool. So sad of course for you defeat but still with you. And it was so great to see you in the play of the day 🤩

[@daveuk9305]

Another great video. Greg's first round net shot making the bwf shot of the day ( I don't believe it!) Hard luck in the second round, but hey you don't get to be the number 3 seeds for nothing. And most importantly congratulations on your lovely wedding.

[@remisanplays2490]

Love your vids and grat vlog! Also questions when are you guys planning on doing another Q&A And when you do question i'd like to ask and answered would be are you guys planning on starting a family? And if so when do you think is a great time? Love you both! And hopefully you guys someday be the best mixed doubles

[@BadmintonInsight]

Ah thank you very much!! Maybe we'll do one for 500,000 subscribers? 😃

[@jeremycling]

thx for showing us the way you guys prepare....i have a tournament coming up next week really nervous. Prepared the best i could with mix doubles partner i think and this will definitely help me prepare for it better on game day.... i love your videos because i am also left handed and my partner is right handed so it helps watching your videos hope i can get better results compared to the last tournament i played with my partner😆

[@liauzedongserangoonss8284]

was watching all your matches! good job guys

[@zaachy5493]

wow! amazing perfomance keep it up! and nice wins, mairs!

[@hansulainen]

Congratulations to you both! And thanks again for the exellent content. Re-asking my question from April, I would love to hear your take on the speed of shuttles: In practice games, my partner and I tend to use cheaper shuttles of varying quality, which quite often (~50% of the time) results in us having to add weight to the head of the shuttle (blue-tac) in order for our shuttles to pass the speed test specified by the rules. We opted for this solution thinking that we would be training ourselves to play with shuttles of "proper-ish" speed without having to discard half of our shuttles all the time. However when participating in club tournaments, the rules specify that we should play with the shuttles that the club stocks in their refrigerator, which are the Victor smash it #1's. While these are expensive high-quality shuttles, no "official" speed testing has ever taken place, and it seems like my partner and I are the only players concerned with the random slowness of the shuttles during play. According to our own tests, an average of 5/12 shuttles from a new, sealed tube are be too slow for our courts, yet in the tournament, the full dozen always enters play, and nobody seems to care. So my question is as follows: how does this work in pro level tournaments? You mentioned that Greg got to test the shuttles at one point in your "Malaysia Open 2023 behind the scenes" video; I would love to learn more. Furthermore, given that there is variance in the skill and power levels of individual players (particularly for club players), one could make the argument that there is a lot of subjectivity when it comes to testing shuttles. As a mediocre club player, how can I be sure that it's shuttle that's too slow, as opposed to my under-arm stroke just being bad? It goes without saying that high variance in shuttle speed will mess with your shot timing and length, but we are reluctant to make a fuss about it. It is, afterall "only a club tournament". Is this something that we just need to learn to deal with? For what it's worth, a British coach named Paul Stewart has some articles corroborating this effect.

[@Kripsy69123]

Hey guys im a beginner player and im missing my clear shots like sometimes im hitting the frame or miss the shuttle. So can u give some tips to improve timing.

[@yangbadminlog]

8:24 we NEED this!! amazing shot🤯

[@nameless3349]

Hi, im an amateur thats competing in a singapore biggest tier 2 tournament this june. I do not have a coach at the moment... This is the only channel i can turn to and trust at this point.Plsss may i have some tips on how to perform better and not feel nervous on show day?

[@vaibhavi990]

Your vlogs are so much fun!

[@rithirongk]

I just played with your old friend Adam last night in Bangkok, and told him I am your FC here and learnt from your channel a lot. =^.^=

[@madhurijoshi50]

Amazing to see Greg able to compete even with an injury

[@earth15354]

Hi guys, I just finished watching all the matches in the tournaments and was wondering if you guys could make some match analyses videos… because for some of the matches I have no idea how the side that won did it and would love to understand different tactics and playing styles. Also, good try in the tournament…the last match was tough… I am so excited to see what you guys can do in the future!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately we can't do that here on KZbin as we will get copyrighted. But we could definitely on our Patreon 😜

[@earth15354]

@@BadmintonInsight that makes sense! Thank you for the reply!

[@LiamNancarrow]

No need to apologize sir! This vlog was awesome, I have no idea what you're talking about with it being "not the best vlog" pfft - I hope to get more BTS in the future :)

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks a lot Liam!

[@fidelnatrius971]

As usual, a GREAT INSIGHT for the life of professional badminton players. Keep it Up!!!

I quite understand how you feel with your lower back Jenny. I suffer from lower back problems and do what I can on court. I only play once a month really should play more often. Just glad that I can still play. Hope Greg’s neck is better.

[@markcarranza2032]

"get it a like , if you do really like it" nice quote, unlike others who are like directly telling the viewers to like their videos regardless of the viewers perpspective. kudos to you, I always give a like to your videos.

Which racket would be better for a back court doubles intermediate player, the Astrox 88d pro or the astrox 100zz 4u? Thanks Tim ☺️

[@---li1oo]

I’ve seen your highlight on the BWF channel, hope you guys come back stronger!!!🎉

[@KADSinayun]

Really enjoyed the vlog, really cool to see the World Championships through both your eyes! Hope that even though you felt like you weren't able to bring your best game on that match that you both gained something invaluable! Come back stronger, I'm rooting for the Mairs/Mairs pair! P.S. Get well soon Greg!

[@panonthamchaisopit6715]

I'm not sure that i can ask this or not but i wonder how many rackets have you broke during your practice? I'm asking this because Victor's rackets are very fragile. I mean they are very good rackets, so nice to play with them but they are easily broken. Ps. I live in Thailand so I'm curious if they are the same. If you can't answer this. It's totally understandable. I wish you both get to the championship very soon❤❤

[@cloydcelarbo]

lovely to see you two wearing the same last name ❤ best wishes lovebirds and praying for your fast recovery greg ❤

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you so much! 🤗

I wanted to see your match live on KZbin, and it was 3 a.m. here in China but I don't know what happened, they didn't show it. Wish you both recover very soon and practice harder, we waana see you competing high rank players again.. 🎉🎉

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks for the support! We are sad it wasn't shown and also don't have it videoed anywhere! 😢

[@D4l4m4r]

Thanks for taking us with you :-) that was fun to watch, even if you didnt win^^

[@BadmintonInsight]

Glad you enjoyed 😄

[@archie2891]

Quick question, is there a reason that you can have mixed and just men doubles teams?

[@Koozwad]

Did you maybe have a too heavy meal right before Feng/Huang? Pasta/bread always destroys me, so instead I always eat a bunch of fruit ~2-4 hours before a match. Also, meat/fish is amazing but I wouldn't recommend it before a match. Many underestimate the effects of food/drink especially close to a match.

[@BadmintonInsight]

No definitely not! We’ve done a lot of research over the years to try to optimise our nutrition and we’re fairly sure this wasn’t part of the reason we lost 😂

[@Koozwad]

@@BadmintonInsight Fair enough, it differs from person to person after all. Grains are just quite tough to digest(costs a lot of energy), and some folks have allergies to them. Meat/fish processing also takes quite a bit of time and isn't really so useful right before sports except reducing recovery time somewhat. I don't doubt you guys have done your research, but I question if there's not some room for improvement. You could try some things out, outside of tournaments. I find supplementing with creatine noticeably increases my explosivity as well.

[@pa623]

Love the vlog!!! Can we have more please!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Sure thing! 👀😁

[@dollyzq]

Hey, great job with the World Championships! You both are outstanding! Can't wait to see more videos. Also, when your musceles are cramped up, i recommend putting ice on those parts to help loosen. If it doesn't work, you can try taking a cold shower instead of a hot one. Works for me!:)) Good luck to you both on your next tournament🥰

[@amypiersma]

Thanks for your insights and tips! One observation: The way you carry your bag of gear may contribute to the neck problem. Good luck with your next tourney
