The high sir tutorial

[@M_King123-v6v]

At 2:40 that is quite possibly one of the coolest animations I have seen yet - the split shuttle. Awesome work and thank you yet again for such an incredible video!

[@ari-athbadminton0301]

I'm glad to see how the body movement looks exactly the same in both cases including the footwork. This can only be attain by national and top pros players.

[@nk-thn]

The combined shot at 2:40 is amazing, not only does it show the shuttle landing speed, it also helps me imagine the area I should pay attention to defense. Awesome work!

Thank you, Greg & Jenny for creating this content! Although I usually play doubles, it's definitely good to learn proper skills for the singles game. It actually took me awhile to figure that my position when I serve in singles is too close to the net (which is not a problem when you're playing doubles).

[@shanerpaderp4272]

Couldn’t have come at a better time, was just playing singles yesterday thinking about how I can return my opponent’s shots. Very excited for the singles tactics video 🏸. Amazing video, great editing and very slick with the transitions.

[@nayaungyeyint]

I've watched you guys since I was a little child as a newbie and now I'm entering high-school and I can clearly see myself improving with your guys tips and trick and I would like to thank you guys sincerely with every bit of my heart. Lots of love, one of your fans. (your videos are really cool btw).

[@LopezJosephRainiel]

just finished my drills on this and now you have a video of it, perfect timing!😂

[@BadmintonInsight]

Perfect!! Keep doing them drills 😀

[@rayhanalam3101]

oh my this is perfect exactly what i needed, my reactions are really quick but always wondered why i cant always return those drop shots, i looked at Victor playing and just assumed he was way to quick without seeing where he positioned his racket this makes so much sense cant wait to try this now. thank you once again fur such a insightful video

[@Casskov-Badminton]

Good red line throughout the video. - 2 Tips that Can be added: (also things being in badminton Denmarks guide) - 1. in your split step, TRY! to make your feet land broader than your shoulders in with, or at least as broad. 2. Racket arm must be "free" from body, depending on the situation on the side, infront or inbetween (as you mentioned). Once again great video. Hopefully i'll see you at the world cup in copenhagen! - Cheers!

This is exactly what I needed to improve my defensive skills in badminton. Your video is very clear!👏👏👏

Aaah finally! There's not much stuff out there on smash defence in singles. You've covered all my questions, thanks guys! Great video, hoping for more singles videos 🏸

[@selvammanickam8859]

I just lost against one guy in a league within my academy and it was because i was scared and not able to defend against his powerful smashes.i have a match two weeks after now with him, this helps a lot. Thank you

[@sursangeetbahar]

What was the result

[@stemmyy9950]

Funny how I just came back from getting destroyed by my friend since I couldn't get their smashes and instantly see this video 😂

[@lt_melooni9896]

I always had trouble with returning drops this helped

[@slonski]

this is a very insightful video with awesome visual aid. the cross-court vs straight smash comparison - that's some brilliant editing-oriented thinking! thanks guys and keep it up!

[@browngentle1]

Thanks so much for this video. I played from 7 - 12 and then resumed at over 50. But still love to play singles! Often I feel hypnotized at good drops by opponents. And I barely moved and the shuttle is in the ground! However at other times I move quite well. I always thought I am doing split step a tad late or not doing at all. Now I know I was indeed late in doing the split step. I guess it is better to do split step earlier than recommended than not do at all! Thanks for your contribution to the world badminton community!

[@eesanta]

I've been looking for a video ike this for a while. A video like this hasn't existed for so long.

It's a nice video giving some new insight into singles defence. I can defend well but im always confused if i should try to lift the shuttle straight or Crosscourt to the net or midcourt.

[@bruvidek]

I Have this One badminton coach who just wont let anyone smash nor win he purposfully makes you go to the right side and then when your completely there he smashed on the left this maneuver was never noticed but now today at sports week i demolished him thank you so much

[@ajaye457]

🏸🏸🏸 im here for this singles content! Great stuff guys, keep em coming!

[@techgalaxy2653]

A tip is, do your exercises at home. For example do running on your own at a low speed for over 30mins without rest.(depend with our ability) Always try not to stop as much as possible. Don't run fast which will make you tired so quickly and discourage you to run anymore. This made my focus into the game more better. I think we better do running 2 times per week mins or 3 times max!🤭🤭

[@wesselbs5795]

I benefit from these videos the most! I love your vlogs, and other fun stuff, bur these are helping me improve the most! Let’s beat the best singles player in my club with these tips💪😂

Good video n tips. Let me add this was a classic lesson from 60's or 70's Badminton learning& coaching books.( Older American authors n mostly British authors) Look them up.

[@WesleyX100]

Thank you so much for these videos! Do you have a video for couples on how to play badminton and not argue when we're back home? It's so easy to blame each other during the game and get upset about the loss that it is affecting live outside badminton. Would be really helpful 🙏

hey guys thank you so much for this that's exactly what we need, and we hope in next videos you guys will cover badminton singles all shorts, services and tictacs

[@LionWarrior220]

Guys after watching your “attacking tips video” i learnt the point to “mix up your attack” But then in your other videos, u advice us to not hit clears but rather smashes and drops. My question is , do we only play smashed and drops in badminton’s doubles and only hit clears when off balance or do we mix it up all the time with clears

[@handsomeasianpro2757]

Just what i needed for my game today😢 thank you

[@ENFORCERPheonixed]

All depends on agility and footwork?

अच्छा विवरण प्रस्तुत किया।👍

[@wesselbs5795]

But what do I do when they are clearing a lot? I always see the top players getting behind the shuttle like the court is only 2 meters long🧐 But when I am ready for a smash or drop, I don’t know how to get behind the shuttle properly, and than I don’t know if I should clear back or go for a smash or drop myself…

[@magikonkuiz]

An opponent that spams clears against you, and if it works, is a sign that the opponent does not fear your overhead attack options. You wanna work on developing better quality smashes, drops, and slice shots to discourage them from clearing against you. Better attacks actually make clears harder to do. If you're late at getting to the shuttle even knowing this, you probably just need better footwork, don't worry, we all do hahahaha.

[@wesselbs5795]

@@magikonkuiz well actually, my attack from the back of the court is pretty good. But his clears are really accurate so it’s hard to get behind them. And my foot work is pretty good so I can move myself pretty fast around the court and I know what to do. but I don’t know how to get behind them quicker. Or could it be that his clears are really flat so I don’t have enough time? And should I be able to punish him for that?

[@rayhanalam3101]

@@wesselbs5795 i am in this same exact situation i see the pros play and no matter how close they are to the net when they need to go back it feels its just one step away and they are always behind the shuttle whereas myself i am reaching the shuttle but in no way in the perfect spot behind it, but one thing that is recently started to help is, i watched one of these guys videos on how to move and they said take small steps and move fast, this has definitely helped me taking big steps slows you down i didnt believe this until i tried it, i feel i am in a much better place to reach shuttle after this small change, if you have any further tips to let me know but i think practicing like this i will probs get it soon
