Where to Move in DOUBLES? Formations Guide

If you want to learn where to move in Doubles, this video is for you.
In doubles, there are two key formations you need to know.
1) Front and back, the offensive formation
2) Side by side, the defensive formation
Additionally, there is a rotation movement that is used to add more pressure to your opponent.

[@Bgbadminton]

Awesome! Good luck!

[@jamesmcrory8990]

Me and my wife are exactly like this lol We have only started playing badminton in the past 2 months We always get in each other’s way with my wife telling me to stay in the back !!!!

[@Bgbadminton]

Time to practice! :D

[@sunraystruck]

I used to play as a kid. Barely ever got doubles, but really loved losing them cause it meant doing less switching around lol. Now, as I'm trying to get back to badminton, it's all double games and the question of "where to move" is on my mind every time. Thank you for putting it out there on the internet! :)

[@iyaasawa-chanyamete154]

I can watch and learn from your video full time every day without boring because your presentation is fun to watch and sometime that make me laugh. Also your explanations are easy to understand. Now I'm having so much fun with your videos!

[@kimsjeblog]

Your videos have been very helpful! I’m a new badminton player and I really enjoy your videos! Thank you! Keep up the good work!

[@Bgbadminton]

That's awesome! I'm glad you enjoy the vids :)

[@VipfitnessZone]

Thanks for all the awesome content. Please do post warm-up and cool down videos. Please also include videos on how to do stretching to help heal the pain in knees (especially when one is flat-footed), and shoulder after a game.

[@dorian_tihi5869]

Hey, i would like to see how you play in a match! Could you do a video of you playing against someone please? Everyone who agrees, like! 👍

[@Theajit341]

[@manojkumarp9906]

Fun to watch and easy to grasp. Great presentation and game play. Thank you for sharing

[@kimiraikonnen8314]

TKS for the tips! Great video, very useful!

[@albertchen4194]

I need a warm-up video. Thanks a lot.

[@reubenha1]

What I observe in top matches is often when smashes from a rear partner gets returned high cross court, the front partner retreats diagonally to keep the smashing going. This is a more advanced kind of double pressure rotation. requiring high level of speed.

[@nidaan213]

Another informative video. Thanks a lot man 😋.

[@marklin9226]

Ur partner stands so straight and never moved lol

[@philoxford737]

Thank you for posting. This is for better players. What type of “rotation” or positional drills would you suggest for the footwork- challenged, poor hitting beginner? Phil, coach in 🇬🇧

[@Anindj]

Definitely would love to watch a warm up video

[@Bgbadminton]

Hi Anindj! It's coming up this coming Wednesday :)

[@chathurangafernando5043]

[@koksnegi1779]

Love your channel...learn badminton but make it fun..is what I learnt 🤘🤘🤘

[@Bgbadminton]

That's the spirit Koks! 😀

[@jomberdon155]

Very helpful! ❤

[@BadmintonBecky]

Really good video. Could you please do one about mixed doubles play? There is so little information on youtube about mixed doubles it would be great to have a nice clear breakdown like this, but with mixed formation. Thanks!

[@Bgbadminton]

Great idea! :) Added to my upcoming video ideas!

[@PlayFasterThanYourShadow]

It's essentially the same, you just want to rotate when your partner is in front. This means he should move to a wide attack, you can hit a cross smash and then move forward. A separate video on it would help many, so go Gerald! ;) You can do it!

[@zahidahsan1575]

Excellent video. One of your best!!

[@Bgbadminton]

Aww thanks Zahid! I'm always looking to improve my craft.

[@overlander99]

This is awesome! Thank you

[@d00qr25]

[@tarzannned]

Great video..have subscribed! Wish you all the best. Now how about singles strategy, please?

[@himanrai3987]

it is highly helpful. compliment from Nepal

[@johnybrokeit]

That was excellent! I had no idea about this basic system of playing doubles. I’ve been dreading doubles simply cuz I don’t know where my teammate wants me to stand. Thank you so much for this video.

[@Bgbadminton]

Thanks Johny, touches my heart to see comments like this ;) do share this with your friends so they'll be able to apply and coordinate it with you too!

[@johnybrokeit]

@@Bgbadminton already posted it on our badminton WhatsApp group and the whole gang is excited to practice them next sunday. Question: In 'attack position' which is the first priority position (compared to the 'defense position'), when my front guy LIFTS a shuttle at the "middle" position of the front row (front 3 positions left center and right, and back 3 positions left center and right). He lifts at Front middle position... how do I decide which side to go to (left court or right court) for our defense position? Thank you!

[@GeraldOng]

@@johnybrokeit This deserves a heart! the front player can return to whichever side is better for him, and the back player can react to it! This is because the back person can easily see where the front player goes while the back player can't and shouldn't turn back to see where his/her partner goes. Hope this helps Johny ;)

[@johnybrokeit]

Gerald Ong o okay, so I focus on my front guy’s decision for this one. Cool. Yes it helps a lot to know this, thank you very much.

[@myroncaballero5010]

Wow. Nice teaching Sir. Thanks God bless

[@deepakagharkar921]

Can you guide on basic exercises to strengthen the wrist , forearm and shoulder ? Also how do we tone calf and thigh muscles .? Quite often players get cramps in the calf .

[@cracyfreg]

You made it simple n superb Good work bro Keep doing it

[@Bgbadminton]

Thank you! Can't do it without the support of you guys :)

[@AdibHMubin]

good sharing. love it.

[@dhyeytank2572]

During the back player hitting smash, both the men should be parallel or the forward one near the net itself?

[@channel-ol1yn]

Singaporean living overseas. Missed the accent. Useful lessons. Keep making the videos.

[@Bgbadminton]

Thanks for the kind words and visit SG sometime when you're free! Have a great Sunday

[@trgm4245]

[@guipifon]

[@dannyabraham4077]

Good Video. One move that looked odd to me. At 6:47, why did the back player pick up the drop shot and not the front player?

[@pandaben7890]

Nice guide

[@sanjoythokchom5929]

Very good techniques love all the videos very useful

[@Bgbadminton]

Thanks for the kind words Sanjoy!

[@TheHi-T]

Great video! Very informative even for a players like myself who has been playing badminton for years. Regarding head shot. I've been trying to explain to a guy in my group not to do full arm swing smashes at opponent's face. He's doing it at the net. Can we issue him a red card? This is a casual game. Everyone else when they see someone in a vulnerable position they smash into an empty space or do something that is much safer. We rather lose the rally than cause a life changing eye injury. I once saw a player crouch down and cover his face with the racquet and the smash was still aimed at his face. He had no chance of hitting a return because it was initially a mishit that went high above the net and he had no time to run away from the net.

[@cherub3943]

Its unsportmanslike but if you are in a close game you dont want to take any chances.

[@calvinshaw777]

first time i fnd your videos not that boring. 1:50~4:26 your partner is sooooo hilarious! 🤣 i would like to see more of him.

[@Bgbadminton]

Haha my brother is in medical school so it's gonna be hard to catch him around these days :( I'll let him know the good news!

[@abhipccs]

Great! Kudos

[@radiosales2710]

Loved the video! Can you please do one for mixed doubles!

[@PlayFasterThanYourShadow]

Not much difference. You always want to rotate when the front court player is in the back and the back court player is in the front. If there's no preference, you can adjust your attack (wide, wedge, channel) to the situation alone. When you want to rotate, use the wide attack formation and a cross court smash as a safe option.

[@Bgbadminton]

Sure! There's lots of things to cover :)

[@benjaminsharma2616]

Coach can we have more of doubles footwoork ,coz the footwork for doubles is much different than singles .can u show some footwork drills for doubles

[@fredrikmalmqvist2832]

More double drills :-)

[@Bgbadminton]

Gotcha Fredrik ;-)

[@FuzzyAason]

"Shuang Ya" is more like "full-on pressure". Both player focused on aggression only.

[@Bgbadminton]

Yep! While editing I realized I didn't film that part :/ So the best I did was a freeze frame to illustrate the point - where instead of the front player rotating backwards, the player continues to pressure on the other side, resulting in the pair pressuring on both sides. The back that rotated forward on one side, with the front moving to the other side, hence "Shuang Ya" Thanks for the comment Aason!

[@HimanshuKumar-gs7cx]

In case we have hit a clear ,how to position ourselves ,should we be in attacking position or defensive position

[@sonyjumper111]

So only in attack or defend position, one person is in the front and the other in the back. After a clear the partners split to the side?

[@IamAnjaniputra]

Thank you

[@Bgbadminton]

Cheers!
