I might be going crazy, but I think both Greg and Jenny's voice seem deeper than usual in this vid. Might be the speed of the video or something, they seem to be talking at a slower pace than usual. I checked my video and it wasn't slowed down, so was probably on their end. Great video, regardless!

[@saikatduttaece50]

You are right.

[@goofyahhgaming3594]

Probably a seasonal cold or something

[@sarahkennard5232]

I'm a complete beginner, so watching and re-watching all your super helpful tutorials. Thank you! 😊

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks Sarah that’s great to hear 😄

[@shanerpaderp4272]

Great video, highlights all the important aspects and shows me where I need to improve. Can't wait to see what you all have in store for us in 2023 🎉🥳

[@jb_labs]

I love the energy that is somehow low-key. Having movement such as throwing the shuttle into the shot, transition to the backhand grip etc. gives a lot more engagement for the video. Keep it up!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks a lot ☺️

[@luisitotrinidad7156]

Thanks for the advice on mixing the low and flick. Another informative video

[@konor5909]

I already know how to do this but i just love watching your videos when i get back from training, loving the content!

[@bbga_]

I've just started at a new club and they use feathers instead of nylon and this tutorial was perfect. Also Gregg couldn't help but notice you sound a little under the weather? Get well soon!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Glad we could help! 😄 yes he was, but thankfully he’s feeling much better now 😊

[@Devya31]

Great tutorial! I really appreciate the clear and concise instructions and the slow motion shots. The backhand flick serve is such a useful shot to have in my arsenal and now I feel much more confident trying it out on the court. Thank you for sharing your expertise. - Unknown31

[@BadmintonInsight]

Ah, thanks for the nice words! Glad we could help 🏸

[@ashishrajput9872]

Love the details you guys go through! I use this serve a lot and I felt it is most effective whenever I stand at an angle and not close to the T.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you! 😄 just be careful of standing too far away as this can potentially expose some gaps on the court for your opponent to hit into!

[@exilonair6673]

Great video as usual. I personally don’t got many problems with my flick serve but it is still good to know on what i should focus more to get an even better flick

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks! Exactly - we can always improve our strengths 😀

[@Ian-yt6kv]

I like the outtakes at the end. Please continue to include them. 😁

[@buffalobadminton]

Good stuff ! Thank you both 😊

[@stemmyy9950]

Thanks for this video guys. I was struggling to get the proper technique for the flick serve but this helped me get better. God bless you Greg for still being in the video even though you sound a bit under the weather. Get well soon. 👌

[@BadmintonInsight]

Glad we could help 😄🏸 and yes he’s better now thankfully!

[@Virgoblr]

Awesome Video Jen and Greg! Hope your cold gets better Greg!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks Nikhil 😀

[@praeothmint2273]

Wow, great video as usual, and I can't wait to try this out. BTW, my game has improved greatly since I started watching you guys, so thanks! 👍

[@BadmintonInsight]

[@whatifidontputahandlename]

Great video guys! I have been told i have the best flick serve at my academy, but this video has helped me learn a lot more about the flick serve.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks - hopefully it helps you get it even better 😀

[@CharviK-om1mm]

Just exactly what I needed! Thanks a lot! I have learnt a lot from all your videos... Love from India ❤

[@BadmintonInsight]

Welcome 😆🙏🏼

[@tinee7006]

i was literally looking up how to better my technique on the flick serve yesterday- so thank u ^^

[@BadmintonInsight]

Ah great timing! Hope it helps 😀

[@StefanWurwal]

Another great video - many thanks indeed. I hadn't considered the advantage of flicking cross-court in terms of moving the opponent the furthest away. Keep up the great work and all the best in your matches.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Happy to hear we could teach you something new 😄 and thank you!

[@Samvideos2021]

I have recently been trying to perfect my backhand serve and was thinking of learning the flick serve so Thank You guys for this

I generally have issues with height control on my flick serve, so the information on racquet and shuttle position is going to be very helpful!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Glad we could help 🙏🏼

[@shivansh2944]

Hope Greg gets well soon. Good work btw❤

[@AapoPuhakkaBadminton]

Nice 😀😀😀

[@lamnotxace1134]

hi there

[@AdmMusicc]

Great video! I have been trying to work on the power of my flick serves but its still low on height and hardly gets to the mid-court of the opponent, making it an easy kill. Any recommendations to increase power?

[@avaneeshbhatia6905]

Hey guys an awesome video😍 this will definitely help me a lot. A suggestion is can you make a video on all kinds of service faults?

[@BadmintonInsight]

Glad we could help 😄 and thanks for the suggestion!

[@TPToE]

What adjustments would you recommend making if flicking from a spin serve setup (with a bevel grip and the racket face open, as demonstrated in your video with Marvin Seidel)?

[@jacobthediv5197]

This is easily my favourite serve along with the short serve

[@BadmintonInsight]

Wooo thanks! 😄

[@Impulsage]

Thank you for mentioning "generally" flicking out wide, it helps a lot 💪 Because the inside flick is much harder 😂

[@BadmintonInsight]

Yes we find it’s harder to get the right height of the centre line flick, and you also need to be more accurate for it to be effective!

[@clippo111]

Great vid, 👍🏼 Greg sounds a bit full of cold.. 🥶 love the badmo bloopers...

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks Andy! Yes he was, but thankfully better now 😊

[@luckypramodh7]

Incredible

[@BadmintonInsight]

Very kind of you 😊

[@nivedithat6190]

I improved very much

[@LauriVasala]

Great video! squeezing with my fingers to create the power made all the difference in my flick serve. On the side note: how to avoid hitting the rim of my racket in general? Some days seems to be worse than others and I couldn't find a good video to lear how to avoid this.

[@stevemawer848]

I find I generally hit the racquet frame when I'm late to the shot or don't get my timing right. If you're in the right position and on-balance, you should find the strings (and sweet spot!) everytime. So work on your footwork and anticipation - the split step is the key!

[@rexmatthew5543]

Well explained 👏🏻, I often commit foul while doing the flick serve... Hopefully hereafter I'll don't

[@BadmintonInsight]

Glad we could help! 😃

[@nivedithat6190]

I love your videod

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks 😊

[@danielbell1820]

Great video as always, Greg it sounds like you need some Lemsips! Get well soon.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks Daniel! Yeah haven’t been too well 😢 Better now though 😃

Thump up for all of the top notch face expression & knowledge.

[@monseigneur6365]

This is great tutorial Normally i use forehand serve

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks!

Is Greg ok? sounds like his had a wild few weeks partying. Great video as usual.

Haha, he had a cold but still wanted to film 😅

[@qifardhom8136]

yeyyy I gotta see some bloopers hahaha

[@BadmintonInsight]

😆

[@endless-3161]

Hehehe. Love the bloopers

[@jajajiji8447]

can do doubles backhand rear court pressure shot tutorials? Is a bit like backhand drive but is done at the rear court.

[@aayushsharma1925]

I am good at flick serve but didn't know ONE THING till now that is the shuttle positioning, slight tilt in position of shuttle gives that much difference and yes thanks for that will definitely notice the the outcome in next matches. THANKS

[@BadmintonInsight]

Hopefully that can help level up your flick serve! 📈🏸

[@aayushsharma1925]

Indeed and all the best for your tomorrow's match against Japanese pair👍🤘

[@priyesh_here]

hey could you please upload a video on accuracy and placement of the shuttle within court in smashes since i am a newbie it like takes a lot of time to aim my smashes can't do the the smashes like professionals. BTW love from india bro

[@SubhashKumarapuram]

First Comment . . . Then Watch 😁

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks for the support 🙏🏼

[@Potato-im4gb]

I just found this channel a little while ago and I was certain I had seen Jenny before somewhere. Turns out she looks very similar to Finlands minister of education Li Andersson.

[@rb-ex]

notable takeways: grip goes from loose to tight, and flick down the center when it's backhand-side is particularly effective (when not expected). near the end greg mentioned how the flick can create an opening on the court because the receiver's center of gravity gets behind him. so, how should the non-receiving partner respond to that?

[@ilovegleepec4182]

Tough luck on that opening round. But hopefully we could hear you on commentary with Gill!

[@vineetutube1]

Hi great video Are there any trick to determine by looking at the flight of a flick serve that it's away Off course having a idea of your team lines is best Regards vineet

[@nickrj2087]

Good luck and all the best on today match against Yuta and Arisa!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks Nick, unfortunately it wasn't meant to be! 😥

[@dk2373]

Hi Jenny and Greg, thanks for the video. Can you help clarify something about service rules? I understand the whole shuttle must be below 1.15m, but if your racquet goes above this height on the follow through (which is more likely on a flick serve), is this a fault?

[@laktho]

The shuttle leaves the racket at 1.15 m. What you do with your racket after the shuttle is gone, well, nobody cares. Fault is, when your racket hits the shuttle ABOVE 1.15 m while serving

[@peely1359]

do you have any advice for improving the accuracy of a flick serve? that seems to be my main issue with this serve as I tend to rely on my low serve too much. I guess I just need to practice it more?

[@BadmintonInsight]

Yep, practice! And add some targets in too 🎯

[@Bryan-jb9gy]

can you do another giveaway video? i really like the tvideo that you give the badminton items

[@Squarabh2]

bloopers are lit😂

[@BadmintonInsight]

Glad you enjoyed them 😂

[@Cool-qy8cu]

Can we replace the rubber out sole of our badminton shoes?

[@AppleGameification]

slightly unrelated but what an amazing flex it is using BWF footage of yourself as examples haha any comment on pro players preparing with the racquet face facing downwards? I feel like it's a deception thing where the strike always features the raquet face rotating upward at least some bit, so the opponent can't tell if the player is hitting it short, flat or high.

[@BadmintonInsight]

😂

[@fastfab56]

Can you tell us how do you counter the return of your oponent when you serve??

[@yessmartypie6673]

Which badminton you use

[@trevorlee627]

Hmmm... always seem to hit mine out the back... maybe it's cause I play too much singles 😂 definitely will try the flicking out wide to the tram line 😁

[@BadmintonInsight]

Yeah the extra distance the shuttle has to travel will hopefully reduce these mistakes! But also try to use the squeeze of your fingers and thumb to generate the power which you should be able to control more 👌🏼

[@kevexjevgaming6336]

Lol greg messing up at the end also thanks for the tutorial

[@BadmintonInsight]

😂

[@notbaldorami5495]
