Malaysia needs to implement the UK grading system. Without grading, an amateur tournament might consist of retired state or district player. Not fun at all.

[@Ltwentytwo]

No grading = tons of buaya floating about trying to feel good about themselves by outplaying amateur players

[@CKYew]

Haha there’s 2 grades I guess.. pro or not pro 😂

[@littleman787]

Dw we get plenty of smurfs in the UK too

[@chuen0910]

Rovo app has rating system that seems accurate enough, but its through self-assessment.

[@xxWidex]

@@chuen0910 Regret to say that developer has abandoned Rovo. No update for 1 year and FB login isn't accessible. The rating system might be useful if is strictly imposed.

I started playing again about a year ago when i was 34. I still love trying to get better and better pushing myself to the limit. Age is just a number mate. 🙂

[@CKYew]

100%!! Keep enjoying your badminton 😊😊😊

[@chachrisG]

I’m a full time engineer and training badminton at the same time! It’s definitely challenging but I will go as far as I can in this journey I’m passionate about! Best of luck to you 😁🤜

[@CKYew]

Let’s do it togetherrrrrrr!!

[@phangyuzhe3549]

Respect, almost same as me as im studying an engineer foundation course while training badminton also 😂

[@ta3105]

Damn, Same here guys I started when I was 23 but still trying to train and practise with a few injuries - wanna see how far I can push

[@Seija729]

you play incredibly well for someone who started in uni, good luck

[@CKYew]

Never too late to start 😊

[@tokanracket]

I started training at 24 from zero for fun and did won 3rd place in a Newcomer's tournament, never too late to start !!

[@ta3105]

Good luck on your games on Sunday, I was supposed to join too however sprained my Ankle 2 weeks ago... You'll be playing against some of my team-mates...so be careful

[@ajhussein1347]

I also plan on training over the next few weeks to be prepared for my university's badminton team tryout. I look forward to seeing both our progresses!

[@CKYew]

Let’s gooooooo!!!

[@Impulsage]

That sounds like an amazing series ! I subscribed. I like that you will track how many intense sets you can play at your desired speed. That will show you, if your training is working or needs adjustment like training less to improve recovery. Not an easy thing for badminton players, since we can't just track strength or stamina numbers like people going to the gym.

[@CKYew]

Absolutely! Everyone have different baselines for strength and speed numbers but we all have to play the same number of sets in each match! So might as well track that 😂

[@autumnatic6507]

Btw so excited to see the video where you play the different grades!

[@CKYew]

Me too! 😂

[@jackiechua8938]

Going to love this series for sure! Curious to know what injuries you had and it's current stage (back to normal, 85% etc.) and what you will be using (racket, string and tension).

[@CKYew]

Same rackets, strings and tension as usual. In terms of injuries, I’m back to normal now and am just managing the process. 😊

[@MrAndykoh]

All the best! Rooting for you!

[@CKYew]

Thank you 😊 hope you’re enjoying your badminton too!

Fantastic idea for a badninton series and look forward to more ☺️ in australia our grading system only goes to the lowest E

[@CKYew]

😂 hence you can feel my emotional damage for an ‘I’ grade 😂

i hope you will get it! At the same time its about the journey, and this look like a hell yeah journey!

It’s certainly the journey, not the destination 💪🏻

[@MarkBrown-cm5xm]

Well this is some great timing on this series as I've signed up to play in my first singles tournament at the end of the month, and I have no idea what to expect.

[@CKYew]

Expect lots of sets 😂😂👌

[@MarkBrown-cm5xm]

@@CKYew Wasn't a success from a winning perspective (also broke a racket on a mis-timed smash 😒), but it was definitely good fun and I've learned a lot. Got another tournament in 6 weeks so it'll be interesting to see what improvements I can make in that time.

[@CKYew]

We live and learn 😊😊 keep going!!

This is great to see, I am going to starting my little badminton journey soon. Don't have a clue how to start so will be watching for tips 😀 I play in warwickshire and it's hard to keep up with higher players, I have 2 kids now which doesn't help my time management but want to do more tournaments. Good luck dude 👍

[@Fedibow]

That sounds like an Amazing ans painful journey ! 😂 Can't wait to see how it goes ! Really excited ! 👍

[@CKYew]

No pain, no gain 😂

[@epoxone]

Best of luck! That training template is very useful, thank you. I too had patellar tendinitis in november and only recently am able to play at 100% again. Mind you, i kept playing the whole time, which isnt recommended i guess :D And with that injury sorted, i have torn some muscle fibre in my left calf - just perfect! But with all that said, im now focussing much more on warming up, stretching and strengthening my body. Being above 30 also means that you have to take care of yourself apparently xD

[@CKYew]

Ouch!!! Hope its getting better! And yes, once we're past that big 3-0, recovery becomes very hard so do take care :)

[@backspacer92]

Such a good video series idea. Hope you can make it!

[@hxy265]

Good luck! You're smart to only play one event, i played 28 sets in a copper once XD

[@CKYew]

Haha you clearly won it!! 💪🏻💪🏻I’ll be happy if I get to 10 sets! 😬

[@jajajiji8447]

I am also the same as you haha good luck

[@benrae6337]

Very excited to see this video and to follow the series, as someone who also started too late and has a poor BE grade 😄 Curious what your opinion is on the matter, but what bothers me the most is the lack of available Tier 4 tournaments in a given area, like Yorkshire. Lucky that Hull does have one though!

[@CKYew]

I believe there’s only 2 copper tournaments in Yorkshire/season atm. Hopefully more in the future

[@benrae6337]

@@CKYew Yeah, York & Hull, as far as I know. I've looked into hosting one in Sheffield before, but it's tricky and it wasn't clear that BE/Yorkshire Badminton would be able to support it (fair enough, limited resources!)

[@CKYew]

It’s challenging organising these tournaments which rely on many volunteers to run smoothly

[@littleman787]

Essex is running one in the summer

[@tristanaioli7658]

Goodluck! :D Can you do a review on the new BladeX Moon and THe AxForce 100

[@mickyhung8268]

I wonder 9000i vs 9000c which one is better?

[@Riafajay02]

Bro if possible review Li-Ning Axforce 60

[@GarryChenYT]

Thats a very nice system by Badminton England. In Indonesia, PBSI doesn't have something as close as this for grading and letting normal people join tournaments easily I think.

[@CKYew]

Oooo didn’t realise there’s no grading from PBSI.. I guess there’s 2, pro or not pro 😂

[@AnkitSingh-yq7kc]

Same 😅 i didn't even know a system like this existed it's obviously doesn't exist in India.

[@Cloudxv1]

Very surprise that England have such type of grading system. Do you need to sign up and have them grade you? Or you'll be automatically graded based on the official tournament which you participate in? Even in Malaysia where badminton is well loved doesn't have such system. Like you said only pro or non-pro. And tournaments usually organized by private clubs only have a clause that prevent current & ex state/national players to join, other than that it's open for all. Imagine joining a tournament and on the first round you'll be facing a grade A player, it's no fun at all 🥲

[@CKYew]

The system is generally pretty good. You'll have to sign up to a Compete membership to play officially sanctioned tournaments which will get you national ranking points and grades. Grading is normally pretty straightforward and there's a starting grade for everyone depending on your age group when you join tournaments. On rare occasions where players have the wrong starting grade (ie: international students who are incredible players), they should settle onto a correct grade after a while competing on the national circuit. From my experience, anyone who is C grade and above in England is probably comparable to a pretty strong state player in Malaysia.
