Hello, I subscribed your videos. It’s very helpful. 🏸🏸 But I want to ask, both of you are left hand player , so can you show some video with right hand and foot step. That’s would be great . Thank you so much 👍🏻👍🏻

It took me a while to get used to watching ur left handed videos but I got it now! Keep up the good work . I always smash the Like button first before I watch so I don’t forget . You guys never disappoint

[@javasquid]

Another fantastic video. Incidentally, I made a late cross court drive from my deep forehand corner yesterday. Our opponents were covering for a straight clear and straight drop. It was so satisfying to hit a winner in such situation 😁

[@BadmintonInsight]

Haha very nice!! And thank you for the kind comment 😀

[@nirbhay_raghav]

I never comment in your videos. But its been 2 years of watching your tutorials and I can't tell you guys how much it has improved my game in that time. I was a good beginner but with poor footwork, poor technique and horrible stamina. The only thing I had was reading the game so I used to place the shots better which falsely made me think I am an intermediate player. Until I played with real intermediates I realized how bad I was. I learnt footwork exercises and warmup and tons of other things from you. I invested time in practice more than matches and applied those things in low voltage matches. All together I wanna thank you for all your hardwork and teaching me whatever I know today❤

[@benrae6337]

Great video, thank you! One thing I've not quite figured out yet is the difference between this as a late 'defensive' shot, and what you often see in singles - where moving towards the back forehand corner in a similar sort of chasse step seems pretty common! As far as I can tell, it's the same footwork, just often less deep and lunge-y, so they're not left way out and trying to recover to the middle... would explain how they make it look effortless 😅

[@BadmintonInsight]

Sorry for the late reply Ben! Yes definitely seems right! Especially when they are not quite as late :)

I need some tips on late "overhead" shots . Many times I was caught by attacking clears that zip past my head and I cannot move "behind" the shuttle to hit regular overhead forehands . In such cases , what are my options .

[@TotoTortoiseNFriends]

Most of the time we did bad on Late forehand or late back hand due to get nervous and hit the shuttle before foot stand firmly on ground

[@budisaputra6453]

Great video, thank for sharing the tips. Help my games alot. Another request from me if allowed. How to do a very very late backhand or forehand shot. I mean you basically running from the front to the back court & hitting it between the leg or at least near your leg. It happen few times when i play double & had to carry my beginner friend. Kinda like single vs double as my parner would freeze alot & not to mention bad return from him.

[@BadmintonInsight]

The "Tweener" - like HK Vittinghus against LCW? Okay 😜

[@muhammadnazimqamar763]

Awesome

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks!!

[@ari-athbadminton0301]

During singles games most of the time my shots go out of the court when I play clears in that late position. Could it also be the racket stiffness that prevent the control of the angle? I have a flexible shaft. I will film myself to identify the issue, I suspect the elbow not moving properly.

[@dennismikolaj2541]

Nice tutorial. Love it. Anyone can explain what the squeeze grip means? Thanks

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you! :) Squeezing the grip is when you have a loose, relaxed grip and then when you strike the shuttle you tighten your grip to create the power!

[@dennismikolaj2541]

@@BadmintonInsight I see, Thanks a lot.

[@keannparaiso3702]

Awesome video! Quick question, at what point do you squeeze your grip when doing the late forehand clear? Do you squeeze upon impact or way before striking the shuttle? Hopefully you guys can answer.

[@sonamtamang5582]

Upon impact

[@dimmyds]

hi ive been wondering about this forehand clear that I see a lot of pro players doing. It's where they don't have much chest rotation and only really use their arm to clear really relaxed. Like I see Kento Momota do it a lot. I call it the abbreviated or late clear. Just wondering on some tips on how to get a nice relaxed and long clear when you don't ahve much time or space to do a full body overhead swing? Thanks!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks for the comment! Hopefully we explain some points in the video, tips would be to be able to use your forearm and wrist well to create the power!

[@ndkhoa2812]

0:20 that was a lot of trust to stand at that position dodging in-coming shuttles

[@magnumcyclonex]

Great video. It's almost important when playing doubles to have your partner duck a bit if you go for the cross court as I'm sure many of us are guilty of having the shuttle meet the back of their heads.

[@BadmintonInsight]

True... 😆

[@kenji2342]

True, just hit my partner a while ago while doing cross-court late(she's fine tho)
