Can Low Level Players Beat High Level Players? Trying To Win EP4

Can low-level badminton players beat high-level badminton players? Players who compete in sanctioned badminton tournaments in England are graded via Badminton England's grading system. However, is the grading system accurate? I've managed to get players from different grades to test this out.
There are 10 grades in Badminton England's grading system, from 'A' to 'J', which impacts your eligibility to compete in certain tournaments. Find out if there are any upsets and if the grading system is accurate.

Great video ck! Very fun day playing against so many good singles players as a doubles player was a pleasure 🙏

[@CKYew]

You did amazing too!!! Thanks for playing with us! 🙏🏻

[@imataquito005]

Nice… do notice the A grade and B grade looks like they don’t move as much in terms of steps and in terms of racquet head movement it seems very minimal n quick and at the past millisecond making it harder to read… they are calm composed and decide on hitting point n location and target to hit to before hitting… notice also if you read that they are going to do a certain shot, they actually have several options… if they are not in a good position… their shots slow down… to get time on their side… but if they have the upper hand… the shots are intercepted to speed up.. the pace….

[@1Flyingfist]

They were slightly taller and might have had longer arms as well. 😅

[@onlineo2263]

Nice video. Seems like the grading system is pretty accurate. Maybe you are a grade above your current grade. But lets be honest, I think we all expected a few more upsets than that. People have off days, some people might hit a purple patch of form etc.

[@georgeroots599]

Very good video. Thank you for showing the comparison in skill levels.

[@Impulsage]

Great video, was really looking forward to this series :) Cool to see you guys enjoying your time on court and with each other as thats what sports is about

I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as we did! 🙏

[@januartjandra2830]

7 singles games in a day? Thats great CK! As a hobbyist, i’m gassed out after 2 games of singles hahaha

[@mikecondon93]

CK Yew, you play well but you do something I do. You play risky shots (vs Grade A) and while you played them really well the problem is getting back to the centre line and getting to the next shot is very far from you. Then also yes you will feel you can get them for 5 points but then you lose stamina, get a little tired and then you can't make it to the shuttle. Then the rest of your shots become too risky .

[@soalaperiadi]

I'm gradeless, nice to meet you. lol hahaha🤣

[@quicksmash]

I gave 1 tip to this old chap on rotation. He never spoke to me ever after. I never gave any tip to anyone ever after. People have very fragile ego folks. Be careful✌

[@1Flyingfist]

Yeah it's best not to bother, unless someone specifically asks for advice. 😐 The only time that I say anything, is when players that think they're good, try to tell where to stand, when they don't know that they're wrong and why they're wrong. It's usually the people that try to play doubles like singles 🙄 and run backwards from mid court / the net, when the shuttlecock is lifted over them (when on attack). They always crash into people, or clash rackets, but can't see that it's their fault. 😶

[@quicksmash]

@@1Flyingfist funny how the incident was something similar. I was telling him not to come back from the right hand side after he attacks the net but rather to cover both sides of the front court...

[@1Flyingfist]

@quicksmash If he's had no coaching and you have, it will make some games difficult. Especially if it's someone stuck in their ways, that wants to "play sides" 😳😅.

[@mikecondon93]

Why isn't there an international grading system? I'm from Ireland. Club level has division 1-10 , 10 being begineer and 1 being close to national level. Then like most European countries and UK we have Grades A-H . I moved to Canada and they don't have a grading system. It's based off age only.

[@CKYew]

There is an international system, it’s the world ranking 😬😬😂😂 it’s just we’re not good enough to go on it 😂

[@mikecondon93]

@CKYew Yes but for an international club level system.

[@MatthiasKong]

Interest in finding out more about the Badminton England's grading system, from 'A' to 'J', does that works similar to doubles games? Able to share or point where to read more about the grading system? So as other country like Ireland. Thanks.

Yeah in Indonesia, the grading system is mostly a self diagnosed one.

In Indonesia, we diagnose our level based on how frequent we play, e.g., only when there is a big tournament being held, once a week, every day.
