We had a lot of fun filming this one, we hope you enjoyed it too! 😆🇹🇭

[@michaelaubermann3315]

just ordered, hope all fellow patreons will do so, too :-) so you get real tired packing today :-)

[@Miyamoto-_-musashi]

if u ever to india make a subscribers meet up in tamilnadu if u can

[@backspacer92]

I need a bigger bottle 😅

[@drewbrooke-mellor1519]

Wow. You might be packing mine as I write. Keeps hot things hot and cold things cold, eh? Great! I can take a cup of coffee and a choc ice to my next training session! 😉

[@badmintonbackhand]

@Badminton Insight Hope to see you in Malaysia Open and do this activity here. :)

[@fredrik-c]

It is really fun to see how good you really are when comparing to amateurs. Good video as always!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you so much Fredrik 😄

[@kazyoutubd]

Of course they are better than amateurs lol they are pro. Your compliment is funny

[@krongkraengchannel]

As a Thai, I'm so glad to this. Technology helps connecting people across the globe 😊

[@BadmintonInsight]

It is amazing 😆👏🏼 we feel very lucky

[@quadskatesandcars]

Got to say guys, this is really developing. "it does exactly what it says on the tin" As professional players its great to see the "You" in these videos and the additional work both of you put in while in Asia has added a new dynamic, much like you are taking us on the journey with you. Fantastic. The very start (2 v 1 defense) blew my mind in the fact that you see within split seconds the returns from Jenny followed by those of Justin/Karan (who not exactly beginners) are night and day ( no disrespect to Justin/Karan at all). I know the height and quality of the returns was mentioned, but just look at the stance, focus, position details in the technique as you flick your eyes quickly from one payer to the next. It is like super real time with no pause for breath while watching. I wonder if there is any more " real time" comparisons just like this that you can do? Great to see the channel develop and wishing you both the best on your continued brand development. Have we seen a channel about badminton like this? the way you guys are doing it....dont think so!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Wow what an amazing comment - thanks John 😃 We’ll have a think about that for future videos and as always keep trying to improve 😊 Thanks again for the lovely comment - we both enjoyed reading it! All the best, Greg and Jenny

[@miguelv2985]

Awesome video! As an amateur badminton player I felt like I was there and connected with you guys. Great job!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Ah so glad you enjoyed it! ☺️😃

[@denzelnolet]

Awesome vid, guys. I never realised how alert pro players are to not being fooled twice with the same shot.

[@songsisters6269]

I’m glad you had some leisure time :). LOVE seeing you mixing with the locals 💕🏸! Looks like the racquet bag must come along to our next Koh Samui escape

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video 😃 and we’d definitely recommend it - it was such a nice club with lovely people!

[@billybobinthehouse12]

Great video edit, more stimulating and less dead pauses, more fun transitions I see your videos are getting better, keep up the good work!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Wow thank you so much Peter, that made my day 😄

[@AS-lq3zh]

What a cool experience for both the pros and amateurs. 👏

[@jmpettey]

OMG. That may be my favorite video yet. I saw a lot of myself in the amateurs and the disparity in playing really good players (as opposed to just watching you two play each other). You two are so genuinely good people. Great job.

[@argysefamily7459]

Thank you Greg & Jenny. This is so true, my coach & dad always tell me not to lift too much when playing doubles and mixed doubles, but it is very difficult to do in competitive games as my opponents also have the same idea! The guys with the slower reaction/ anticipation will have to lift eventually & play defensive game to survive.

[@chhjin]

Great video. This is really something close to us as amateurs, rather than those in the sky. Hopefully we could have a chance to be part of such a great series one day in Hangzhou, China.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks a lot! That would be nice - we’ve never been to China but would be a great experience!

[@Saiyar990]

I have some really brilliant memories of ko samui. Holiday for my 30th and got engaged on the exact platform you guys were stood on, didn't know there was a badminton club there. No wedding but 2 kids later, learning to balance my badminton and the family is demanding but your videos have helped me out no end. Thanks very much 😀 👍

[@victorkhong7654]

7:10 - that retrieval with the backhand just clearing the net is world class.

[@Rahulvg87]

A great video from you both again ! Really encouraging for badminton enthusiasts to get a chance with play with professionals like you 👏! Ordered the badminton insight bottle !

Ah thank you very much 😃🏸

[@badmintontonight]

Hi Greg and Jenny, thank you for coming to visit and playing with us. It was an unforgettable experience! Here is our video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpKaZn6fqLqef9E We love your video! We are going to be practicing a lot more now and will definitely score more points when we play with you next time 😜 We have already started improving a few things and will upload more videos on the channel. Thank you for all the tips! Karan will be practicing his back hand, and I will be improving my defense further (and the Jump Smash!). Hopefully, see you next year for a re-match! 🤩 Thank you and you're welcome from Karan - happy that this trip worked out!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you so much 😀😀

[@rb-ex]

way fun idea to go to that club and play with the locals. really enjoyed watching you guys spar and every variation you tried out. standout were jen's awesome high lifts, long and wide and terminating in a nearly straight dive to the back line. grrr, that is a winning skill. but the most fun of all was seeing you both coated with sweat from the tropical heat. i've played in many venues like that all over S china and SE asia, concrete slabs covered with a big steel box that traps heat and becomes an oven under the noonday sun. and i've played in venues much more humble than that, and pretty much every elite player you know from these parts has come up through those kinda places. far cry from the old railway station in york or the other comfortable venues in UK with cool air and sprung wood floors, but when you're hungry to play, hungry for life, you're grateful for what you've got and you have nothing to complain about. seems like you guys had a fantastic trip. thanks for sharing

[@BadmintonInsight]

Apologies for the late reply! But thanks a lot for the comment and nice words 😀

Hey Guys, Quick question about adjusting to conditions when playing in tournaments in different countries. I’ve recently flown out to India to go to an academy for training here and found that the facility is not air conditioned so it is very hot and humid when training, how could I learn to adjust?

[@WanderVagabond]

Awesome video guys I think at the club level this is very common to lift it away and wait on defense. As opponents go up and skill you simply cannot do this as you can easily win with smash or drops. There needs to be a focus on building rallies and creating initiative the folks were often waiting for the shuttle coming to them on return of serves. If you ever come state side to the us open stop in Raleigh nc to visit our club !
