As I’ve stated previously, there is no better ambassadors of badminton than Greg & Jenny.

[@raffscallion6639]

Tips and seeing it applied in real-world scenarios is just a gamechanger. Plus seeing the change in realtime within the vid. Badminton Insight does it again!

[@shanerpaderp4272]

Really fun video seeing pros play against casual players. Learned soo much on how to play against strong, fast, experienced opponents. I would love to see more videos like this in the future ⚡️

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks 😀 We’d love to do more!

[@Rauthaz]

Thank you so much for teaching us so much in such a short span of time. Really eye-opening experience!

We're so thankful for you watching them! 🤗😃

[@yusufbadrulhisham7376]

I'm a Malaysian too, and i know that they're gonna brag about having a match with 2 professional badminton players with their families and friends for weeks or months. Trust me :D. Jk, feels good to have these kind of meet-n-greet in the court really wish i could be playing against you two as well... I also got so much insight too as always from this video, thank you so much both of you. #Ifitdoesnotchallengeyou #Itwillnotchangeyou

[@Rauthaz]

You're right. I did not shut up about it since the day I played them. Really really great experience and a dream come true!

[@BadmintonInsight]

😂😂 Glad you enjoyed it! We’ll hopefully do lots more in the future 😀

[@teflondave7823]

As they should. :)

That's amazing to play with your subscribers and give them some advices. Top content! 🙌

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😀

As a beginner, I also tend to make these same mistakes. Very nice insights! Thanks and more power to both of you!!!

[@mattsmallshot]

This video is making me homesick hahaha, currently in AUS, and will definitely take these advice into practice! Great vid as always!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Aus isn’t a bad place to be!! Haha glad you enjoyed it 😀🏸

[@Longtack55]

You guys are great, giving us so much coaching mostly out of the goodness of your hearts. I noticed Jenny constantly bouncing on her toes even when she's not hitting or even receiving - so fit and disciplined. Jenny's tips on soft returns was made for me.

[@jonahborres3861]

We went to Malaysia to watch you in this leg..it was. Good experience.

Much appreciated to you guys for spending your time to play & educate others…once in a lifetime chances…would love to play & learn from you guys; hopefully there will be a chance…stay safe & stay humble…love your vibes…!!!

Hi, another subscriber from Malaysia. Just want to say thank you for all your content which help me who just started to play badminton at the end of 2021. Cheers to many more tips and tricks for badminton. Hope to see both of you one day

Ah that’s amazing to hear 😀

[@shuhada9578]

Another informative video!! 😍 As always you guys played delicately 👌🏻 anddd ugh you guys were super close to me last week - I recognized the Sport Centre court at Dataran Sunway. Cant believe i missed the chance to see you both. Hope you find Malaysia fascinating! 😊

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks! Ah so close! Yes it was amazing 😀😀

I used to think badminton is boring, you guys made learning it fun. Hope you stayed for some late night teh tarik sessions afterwards, thanks for dropping by!

It's wonderful to watch your clips.... Possibly drop the corporate-speak, in favour of saying "smashing" ... "That would be smashing"

[@kevinchan350]

Amazing video yet again and thanks for sharing your insights. It’s very different when we are pitting yourselves against professional players like both you and Jenny. Would love to play against you one day (maybe next year) when you come by again. 🎉

[@BadmintonInsight]

Haha thanks Umesh! Hopefully soon 😀

[@keiths8968]

Was about to do the same thing for "quandary", thanks for the googling!

[@riduan.ismail]

This was really good Badminton Insight It was fun to watch you play against players that play once and twice a week 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 Then learn what mistakes they make and what they can improve 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 1. Don’t lift too much 2. First 3 shots 3. Hitting hard off balance And also learn a new word “quandary” uncertainty over what to do in a difficult situation 😁

[@analysevelocity]

So awesome to connect with your subscribers Greg and Jenny! Come to Singapore please 🇸🇬😎

[@thorsteng.1584]

Great video again. What is the most common return of serve in mens singles after a short serve and after a long serve? Keep on going your videos they are awesome!😀😀😀

[@BadmintonInsight]

We’ll hopefully do videos on these at some point 😀 A net shot or lift is most common off the low serve! And we’ve actually done a video on singles return of serves if you want to watch that 😊

[@buffalobadminton]

I really enjoy these videos ! Thank you 😊 now when are you coming to the Niagara Falls area ??

[@LifewithMiu]

I loved this video, hope you will do some more of them! I also have the same issues - lifting too much and hitting off balance! I will watch for that more carefully!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks! We sure will 😀

Hey brother, Im in malaysia too! I played badminton for awhile now and im just 12years old and my school is in puchong, SJKC Yak Chee.

[@arsingh8137]

woah i was just about to search for that(quandary)... thanks😂😂

[@BadmintonInsight]

Haha you’re welcome 😀

[@stevemawer848]

What was a really obvious difference is that both of you are much more active during rallies whereas we ordinary mortals tend to be more static unless we're the hitter. And some of the people I play with haven't got the hang of the fact that we're a team - thst shot isn't necessarily "mine" because it's sort-of on my side of the court! Great video!

[@orbitro]

hopefully, there will be another video like this, thank you guys.

[@alexeybezglasnyy371]

Great video idea! Id love to watch more matches vs random opponents from streets ;)

[@kirasenpaiamv]

[@anthonyalburo3396]

Greg keeps reminding me to keep my racket up, cause it might just turn into an easy point.

[@kajmd2485]

You guys helped my game thanks

[@ChristineTohXH]

So nice of you guys to play with subscribers! Hopefully one day you'll get to play in Singapore as well. (Singapore Open is happening 6-11 June, hehe)

[@mikhailfong6234]

Terima kasih. Greg and Jenny. For spending time with our folks. Great vid again. However, you need to shout "Aiyaaa" whenever you lose points...that makes our day!😁

[@naavishnair4317]

Hey Greg & Jenny. I'm from Malaysia and I play at the same hall in which you guys played (NVBA). Would have loved to join the session and play against the 2 of you haha. Hopefully I get to meet you guys the next time you visit Malaysia

[@KY-xz9yb]

5:52 this is such a good question, I joined a stronger club and basically I had to change my serve receive and actually came up with the method jenny explained in this video: hitting soft to the sides! So actually I have a different question, usually I'm looking to intercept the third shot and have my racket up but if they play the soft shot to the sides I always end up playing it very late and lifting it. Instead what should I do in this case?

[@IgarashiDai]

Very “insight”ful! 😃 I may try a no-lift game next time I’m playing, curious how much I’m actually doing it. 🤔

[@lifeofjivika3126]

Love u guys

[@evansphenomenal]

Great fun video! Speaking of avoiding injuries, when I was learning tap dance, we've always been told not to dance on a rock solid surface such as concrete, there has to be some sort of cushioning underneath the floor surface above the actual ground, or that it has to use some kind of sub-flooring system in order to absorb the shock and in order to reduce risks of injuries, is it similar with badminton?

[@williamhuchton9310]

Do you ever come to Thailand? I'd love the opportunity to play and learn with you both if you ever do, much like in this video. Many great courts to play at here in Bangkok!

[@jerrylai3671]

Y'all were in PJ and Kota Damansara ???!!! Thumbs up from me in the US, and welcome to Malaysia.

That black 1/4 zip at the end that jenny had is SO nice. Do you have a link ???

Happy new year!

[@drmabaset9345]

Learned to much from this video. You guys are really fast. Found clear demarcations between the pro and the ametures, though you were playing only of your 30/40%. Welcome to Bangladesh(Dhaka). We arrange an international challenger every year in November/December. You may play that and deliver some useful sessions for us here. Thanks.

[@badmintonscroll]

Looking forward to you guys coming to New Delhi next year. I hope you guys will do a video like this here too. ❤️❤️ Till then. I'll keep smashing the like button. 🔥🔥

In the past I played in the Lee Chong Wei area until 3am, then go out for some roti after that. I wish that were possible back in the UK!

[@adarshfr]

Hey guys, I had a question regarding service during a mens doubles game *I have trouble against taller players with longer wing spans.* When I approach to serve them, their presence is almost all-encompassing if that makes sense For reference, I am 5 Foot 10 Inches (176cm) Unless I service perfectly above the net, forcing them to either play a lift or a net shot, they usually always smash it Serving it higher doesn't work, as it gets smashed Serving it to the side boxes doesn't work, as their long wingspans allow them to reach it What advice would you have for me in this situation? Thanks, love your videos and keep up the good work

[@jackburtonstwin]

Lots of advice here. It's crucial for club-level players to be able to play against top-flight opponents from time to time as it is these players that have the skill and speed to highlight and exploit weaknesses. Taking a beat down at the hands of a strong player may feel like a dent to a player's ego, but they get to "see" things that players their own level would not be able to demonstrate to them, and from that they can advance far more quickly.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Definitely!! 😀🏸

[@stevemawer848]

@@BadmintonInsight But you need the strong player to be a bit accommodating (kind!) rather than just wiping you off the court!

[@auitsha]

Hope you can come visit Los Angeles soon....

[@ouyangzerg]

🤣Will you guys come to Toronto anytime this year?? So jealous that these guys get to play with you!!

[@yannick0106]

Thanks for this video! I do have a big issue which I hope you might know how to fix. I know you’ve made a video about this subject but for me it didn’t really helped me in my situation. My problem is that I’m basically mentally ruining my game. At normal training sessions I always play really well. But as soon as I have a game for competition or a tournament, I mentally just stop working. When I’m playing a singles match on a training I can always really use my tactics and my shots are all really tight to the net etc. Yet as soon as I have a competition game my mind just becomes one big mess. I have no idea how to stop it or anything and it is really keeping me from becoming better because my level is at like an 5 for competition days compared to an 8 on training days. Especially since once I’m starting to get angry at myself for all those offside shots it will only get worse and worse. I have no idea why but It just happens. Everything goes offside or in the net, all my tactics just fade, I start to randomly shoot shots to random places and my footwork is all messed up. I know that it happens and I always say to myself to just be calm, but that just won’t do it. I have absolutely no idea on how to fix this. I have a championship game in 3 weeks and I know that I can win it, but I also know that because that game will decide if my team will be champion, I will also be more nervous and therefore make even more mistakes which I just can’t stop to make for some reason. Thinking like ‘don’t stress so hard’ or anything just won’t seem to help. My apologies for this big message.
