Pros vs Amateurs (In Indonesia)

[@BadmintonInsight]

This was such a fun video to make! Thank you again to Ronald and his family for inviting us to play, and to everyone for being so welcoming! 😊 We’re loving continuing to play against our subscribers in 2024, comment below where we should go next ⬇

Fikri the last opponents you play with is Former Indonesian National Team. He is actually not considered amateur 😂

[@peterwilianto30]

Who is that? I thought he is hayom rumbaka.

[@nfreddyyy]

Wow haha no wonder. They are either very nervous it didn't show or very comfortable because has played at that level before

[@beruangloncat]

@@peterwilianto30 Nope, he is Fikri Ikhsandi. Former single player in Indonesia National Team.

[@hendryviixxvxvi3698]

boong ni

[@roobilyne603]

wow, he is actually pretty much in his prime age. I thought when you mentioned former, means he is a retired player, turns out he is still pretty young (1995, 28-29 years of age). Thinking about it, it's really scary that there are players like Fikri that's outside of the BWF or National level of Badminton. It shows you that to reach the top level of Badminton is no laughing matter.

[@rezhaadriantanuharja3389]

Unlike most amateur groups in Indonesia who play weekly, these guys seem to have formal badminton training in clubs. Insane that Greg and Jenny could play 10 sets and won 9 of them, most of them in XD vs MD matches. It clearly highlight the level difference between the pros and the amateurs.

There are a lot of unknown player out there that have amazing skills they just choose different path in life not commited to badminton. Amazing.

[@boliussa]

They're committed! Many badminton players get injured they are so committed. But not everybody can make it to national level. Most wouldn't even make it to regional level. Some players challenging here hide their level, like the last pair were national level apparently!

Even the Daddies have played against some of them and their level is (nearly) on par with the Pros. I hope your channel keeps getting bigger and more viewership. All the best to Greg and Jenny !!

[@risico131]

What a great video! I think it's absolutely amazing that you took time from your personal and professional lives to give this group such an amazing experience. I've been implementing your training into my game recently and not only is it working but it's totally reignited a whole new passion for badminton that I haven't felt in ages. I'm in northern Ontario in Canada and sadly the badminton community has been dwindling for years. We've got a lot of great talent in our city who don't play for various reasons but we do have a small group of die-hards that won't stop playing. If you ever end up in Ontario, I'll do what I can to see you both play. Keep up the great work!
