The Biggest Mistakes Amateurs Make In Badminton

[@BadmintonInsight]

How good are our subscribers?! 🔥🏸 Hopefully the tips we shared in this video will not only help them to improve, but also lots of you out there! Thanks to everyone who sent us in some footage 😊 If you enjoyed this video and want us to do more of these in the future, let us know below ⬇️

I have a confusion. I did a simple lift and opponent keeps me a smash but I am ready to take the smash but shuttle the it goes to end of the court because the shuttle is feather it doesn't stop so how would I pick up the shuttle

[@boliusabol822]

@@Senselessbrothers Well, play with feather more and you will better understand their trajectory.. If playing with plastic then try yonex 600 they have a trajectory that is closer to feather than yonex 300, as the yonex 600 drops more steeply than the yonex 300 after they are high, whereas the yonex 300 is more horizontal on the way down. A lot of good players will only play with feather. Different shuttles change things. Even a different hall can change things. Practise some rallying and particular shots with the shuttle before the game.

Hey Greg and Jenni, keep doing videos like this!

[@MrPjitbass]

I have a couple of clips that I need help with and I've seen plenty of players making the same mistake. I can send you the clips if you think it will help with your videos

[@aspaankaur518]

I definitely want to see more of these insights! They will pretty much help every player with their weaknesses! Thank you Jenny and Greg for an awesome video once again!

[@alavadi6299]

Hey, Bennet here from Germany. Thank you very very much for including my video ! I’m rlly happy about that. Also thanks for the tips, I’ll try my best to improve ❤️

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks for sending us in a video Bennet! Glad we could help ☺️🙏🏼

[@whatwentwrong2286]

Not only do you give great advice for badminton, I can tell you also have a keen insight into audience retention and creating KZbin videos which are very engaging. The fact you recommend multiple videos every video will create a longer session time which is gold dust to the KZbin algorithm. Very impressive, I think you are the only KZbin channel which actually creates good content also that isn't completely boring and dry! Quick and you get to the point!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks a lot this is is great to hear! We are trying our best to do these yes 😀

[@raghav_c]

It is so satisfying when the title is not a clickbait and in fact the information in the video is top notch. You guys deliver every time. Thank you so much for this one :-)

Didn’t know much technique, slight overweight as well. I am a subscriber of your videos & try to watch many times whenever I find time especially before playing. Improving slowly but surely. Your videos are simply the backbone of my current badminton playing. Will try to catch up if you come to India. Be my guest in Indore, central India. Regards.🙏

[@Syonixx]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video and found it quite informative. Watching other amatuer player's mistakes is a great way to learn organically, as these errors really are common throughout all amatuers. Your video editing, and camera presence has also been getting better every time, well done. My favourite parts are always any dramatic tantrum after demonstating an error (slap in the forehead, throwing a racket etc haha). Also, I'm from Australia and my name is Steyn, pronounced Steen. Hearing "Stijn" was trippy, very rarely do I ever hear my name in other contexts :) Thanks for the video!

[@BadmintonInsight]

That’s great to hear Steyn 😀 and thank you very much for the compliments!! We’d hopefully coming to Sydney in November if you’re around!

[@Hypersonik]

I have found that changing the speed of the shuttle will help/coerce you to change your play. It's something we do playing with fast medium and slow shuttles. Slow shuttle absolutely nullifies your rear court smash, medium shuttle forces you to read you game better (as more shots are on so looking for nuances) and fast shuttle forces your footwork as low power can still perform a clear. It's quite funny you mention about the shot prep too early. I hadn't played in a while (6 months) and I was wondering why I couldn't generate any power for clears and was falling over my feet. It was because I was off balance/tense from prepping faaaaaar to early. Nice to see it in action, although a good variation of shot prep can you be used to offer disguises to shot selection :) I've learned so much just watching you two play to a point I can start figuring things out now. If in doubt, what would Greg and Jenny say?! :D

[@ethangriffiths7802]

Hey guys another great video, would love to see more of this content from you. On the topic of mistakes I wanted to ask a question regarding a couple of shots. As someone whose never had any coaching snd just picked up tips from various club players, I’ve heard contradictory information on smashed and clears when playing doubles. A few people say lift to the middle and depending where you are on court, smash to the middle as you’re less likely to hit the shuttle out. Others say aim for the rear corners on lifts and aim for sidelines on smashes as they are better quality shots. Wanted to ask which is correct, or if it depends mostly on the individual situation. TIA for any response

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks Ethan! We would generally say: lift to the sides (to make your opponents move) and then vary your smash placement (some to the middle, some to the sides) to keep your opponents guessing! There’s not many benefits of lifting to the middle, hence why we suggest lifting to the sides! Hope this helps :)

[@BadmintonInsight]

[@dexdion1678]

Glad I found this video. Quick question, I’m doing exactly what the guy in the first clip does when I play overhead shots (preparing too early) and I notice that after my games my shoulder pain almost always flares up. Do you think having this habit can significantly contribute to shoulder injury? - as you guys mentioned that this faulty method mostly uses shoulder only. Thank you for these helpful videos btw!

[@jenyanglim6589]

I have the exact same problem as you, watched in another video that smashes shouldn't involve the shoulder too much, as it loses strength and is less fluid, instead we should bring our hands up, and use our arms, wrist and fingers for smashes.
