Hi, I just won state level yesterday at 7 30pm and they asked who taught you this good badminton. I said I watched vids from badminton insight. Then like 100s of people are like omg this must be so useful. Now more 70 people watch your vids

[@BadmintonInsight]

Haha, wow thank you so much!! 😃

[@KUMARSINGHEE12]

bro i was one of the dude who was watching your badminton match. you r so good

Reading my opponents' games is one of my favourite thing to do. I play against 3-4 different players every week so luckily I get to practice this part of my game quite abit. I'm still not good at reading my opponents' games but I thoroughly enjoy the process of getting better at it. Thank you, Jenny and Greg 😊

[@BadmintonInsight]

It's an amazing feeling when you get it right 😆

[@grahammorris1675]

Wow I have never thought about some of these things, especially that example at the end! So simple and definitely one of the big differentiators between low level and high level badminton - Amazing video! 😀

[@BadmintonInsight]

Wow, thank you so much Graham! 😊🏸

[@epoxone]

I got the same thought while watching. Seems like the key difference between an intermediate player and an advanced player. The value of your lessons is really high, as most other channels focus on cool trick shots but fail to cover the basics of the game.

[@grahammorris1675]

@@epoxone agree 100%!

[@ethangriffiths7802]

One of the best videos for players who are still learning the game ! I should say with more experience, anticipating a shot would help a lot !

[@BadmintonInsight]

[@chokingphgaming457]

Knowing the shots in badminton is important but reading the game is more important because you'll know when to use those shots but learning the correct shot is also important...Reading the game while using the correct shots and having very good footwork makes you insanely good.....

[@chris24lsj]

Interesting video, way, way advanced for the mere mortal because you first need to understand how to play the 'good shot' much less recognize that you played one. A lot of drilling required to get this one.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Yes, it's definitely a skill that will come with time! But it's important to practice from the start, and not just think it's something you can practice ONLY when you're 'good'!

I would love to know were my opponents are standing when I'm looking on the shuttle coming from above (i.e. after the lift). Do you have any tips for this? Also I would expect that there could be an advanced version of this video were you could give some patterns on how to act in certain situations (based on game reading): where to hit, where to stand, where to run and so on (like in this example in the end). Anyway many thanks for this great content!

Would you say you alternate from watching the shuttle to watching the opponent for cues as to what shot they'll hit and where? Or should the focus always be on the shuttle, with the opponent's movements in the periphery?

[@vinaybharadwaj3646]

Thanks for the such useful video, is there a video on the playing the gaps or the placements in your playlist?

[@Keindzjim]

When do you look at your opponent and when to look at the shuttle? I always find it hard to look where the opponent stands because I focus too much on the shuttle. At what exact time do you watch your opponent? Before you run? After you run? Before you hit? After you hit?

[@vedahegde6202]

Can u guys make a video on how to reach forehand back for flat shots form opponent's backhand front without cross leg foot work. Basically, my problem is I am practicing no cross leg footwork because I can't reach very fast when I use cross leg foot work. So my coach said not to practice cross leg footwork and reach for forehand flat shots ...

[@BTSFacts-zu9ht]

The best video❤ Chaamps✨

[@joeljohnson155]

And this can also come to our disadvantage as the opponent may trick us . It may seem like the opponent is going for a net drop and then the opposite happens . I personally do try to trick my opponents and it actually works

hi would love some effective set shot routines in doubles...e.g. like setiawan pushes low serve to his forehand and waits for the reply on forehand. or the boe mogensen set play. TIA :)

[@karunjohn4537]

Yeah thing is if u do ur split step a second early and the opponent sense that you are going to move then he will hit the shuttle in a way it will lock our movement. I used to train with some national players wht I do is that I wait to the very last second, just before the opponent hits the bird I can say what shot they gonna play and adjust my body makes my split step so that I reach the point fast before the recovery from the shot opponent just made so I can gain advantage

I have a question. I earlier used to play cricket on cemented floor but i used to wear shoes which has thin base. Due to which my heel used to hit hard to the surface. This has caused a lot of pain in my heel. It has been one year since then. I can feel the pain even if i touch the heel. Now i play badminton but with shoes having thick base but i am not able to make grip with these shoes. Fear of pain again comes when i switch to thin base shoes. Please recommend me remedy for my pain. I want to pursue carrer in badminton
