We hope you enjoyed this tutorial of Greg’s favourite deceptive trickshot 🤩 But, what should we call this shot?! The person who comes up with the best suggestion, we’ll send a Badminton Insight Bottle to!
sidewinder shot
It should be called Greg's signature "no-you-don't"
Winding whisk
The name of this amazing shot will be " Front sweeper" 😅
The NightMair! Or you could add a descriptive adjective like The Crosscourt Nightmair.
This shot should be called "Scrambled Greg" like Scrambled Egg as it sends your opponents scrambling to return 😂
This is a good one 😂
Agreed
Agreed
😂😂😂 Egg-cellent
I love doing the back hand version of this shot. Its a great follow up when you do a short serve and the opponent tries a short return. Because they get the return short and low they expect a straight clear, but you drop your eblow across your body and flick the shuttle cross court, long or short depending on how the opponents are positioned
Wizardry - I remember watching it at the World Champs 2023 and the commentator calling it something like that. It could also be implying Greg is a racket wizard :D Thanks for the tips again, loving your videos!
Haha good memory! 👏 Thank you so much!!
This shot should be called "The Greg Breaker" 😂
Paying tribute to 'the ankle breaker'. I like it
I really appreciated that you mirrored the tutorial video as Greg as Left Handed, so us Righties can fully grasp the instructions!
You're very welcome - hope you enjoyed the video 😊
It's the... "Mairsdirection" (misdirection 😅) Great video as usual! Thank you!
Just watched a clip with Lin Dan doing his deceptive hold and flicks, started the video, wanted to comment, then saw how Greg explains how he was inspired by Lin Dan🙃, nice video!
Ive recently picked up badminton and wanted to play competitively at my high school. You’re guys’ videos have been helping me a lot. I can’t thank you guys enough for your videos
That's awesome to hear - thank you so much for watching 😊🏸
I was involved in an accident yesterday and ended up hurting my knee and elbow, I hope I can recover before my state championship!!. Watching your videos makes my days
Hope you have a speedy recovery 🙏🏼 Thanks for watching the videos!!
🙏🏾
Hey Gregg and Jenny. love watching all your videos. I suggest that you make videos or tutorial on how to judge the shuttle either were in or out while still in the air. We have so much face difficulties when judging the shuttle in the air and buzzing if it is out or in.
Im going to constantly use this whenever i got the chance like u taught in the video. Thank you for the new skill! amazing video
Awesome 🤩 Hope you enjoy using it!
I'll test this in the nearest future! Thx our Masters!
The Lin Dan Cross Court Flick
That's the first thing that came to my mind I have seen lin dan do that
Lots of good suggestion here, good luck with choosing. I particularly liked the tip to keep your eyes wide and looking down the line, so my suggestion is the cross eyed drop.
What about, "The Mairs Snare".
Haha this is good 👏
I'd like to call this shot the "drift dexterity". Sounds cool!
wow so details, thx from Vancouver
At the level where everyone is able to generate power with short swing, every shot looks deceptive. As the receiving side of this kind of deception, I find myself sometimes stuck in place because after my split step my weight goes slightly towards the direction of where I initially thought the shuttle would go. I've often been told by coaches, to not run towards the shuttle, or move towards the shuttle when it hasn't even been hit yet. So "watch the shuttle" But what are your advices against the short swing deception? At 5:44, huang is completely unfazed by the deception. Can you explain how she is able to do so? Is it because she knows that you have the options to play wherever BECAUSE the shuttle is in that green zone?
Hi Coach any tips on how to return these deceptive trickshots? thanks
Hey greg,jenny. Whats the difference between this and the regular forehand crossnet? In the regular cross net video that you made, you also show the straight then hit cross. Is the difference just that the shown contact point vs actual hitting point is larger in the trickshot version?
Its the same shot. Just approaching from a different angle and using body and eyes for deception.
The Ankle Gregker (Breaker) Shot 😂😂
What about “the angle breaker” shot
Cool shot, fan of you both from India.. My suggestion for the shot would be........."Greg Cross". Looking forward for more deception tutorials.
Thanks for the tip
imo "delayed forehand cross court shot"goes really well. this could also be done one the backhand side like the one kodai naraoka does but the only difference is that he keeps the racket much more closer and lower and it's mostly done when he is close to the net
I just know that there is optimum height to play this shot. Previously I did this shot but it mostly didn’t work because I did it too low. Thank you.
5:45 that reaction time was godly
Call it the L'Greg shot (after Lindan) as you'd mentioned it was inspired from LD
The Greg’s untouchable 🔥😂
The "Second thought", insightful switch-up. the double cross, front side shuffle, change-of-mind, the missed turn, the separate vacation, the take two, the imposition... that's enough for now :)
name suggestion, the "lindan" cross court net shot! Or the 'Lindan' :)
i think this would be a great name bamboozle chop by the way love your game keep going
Greg 's trickery shot
i think the name must be " THE RATTLE CROSS" inspired from rattle snake as it jiggles its tale to attract prey towards it and then at the very perfect time attacks the prey . Similarly this shot attracts the opponent ( can be called prey here) then and the very perfect time boom . BTW i love your videos so much before i found this channel on youtube i thought what if the legend players themselves teach us and then i found you guys . Truly thankful and love from my side .
Your opponent in an upcoming match ends up watching this video before your game…
I think this shot is called the up-down-turn-them-around :) Thanks for the video!
Haha! Thanks - hope you enjoy trying it out 😁
Well this video cures my need to repeat the trickshot clip over and over.... :D I actually tried this once and yet never again... ahahahaha :D Thanks for the video both of you! You have to try this trickshot again when you match with Zheng and Huang!! :) and hope that Ya Qiong well get bamboozled :) I'd call the shot Cross Court Net Gambit hahahaha
Haha, thanks! Hope you can master it now 🏸🤪
Great video! The ankle breaker should it be called!
I do a similar shot and my opponents started calling it the "fish hook" but I've done it so often it's just "fish" for short. If you draw a line of the racket movement it looks like a "J", which is what a fish hook looks like. Also instead of coming up with different names for deceptive shots we just started calling all of them "fish". To make it a bit funnier I might call it the "Wednesday special" (or whatever day it is) or give it my name and say the "Jonathan special".
How about calling it the "Shuttle Mirage"? It represents the idea of something deceptive, so a perfect name for a trick shot in badminton. 👑👑
The Gregscalibur ! Or maybe the Jenny-crois-pas ('I dont' believe it' in french).
Love you guys !
🫶🏸
I just got silver in my city's Badminton tournament😢. So I need to implement more deception.
I employed this in singles, and damn is it effective. I tend to keep the racket a little lower just waiting for what my opponent would do and play this if they come over my way.
This shot should be called, "Deceptive Cross Drop" i feel like its professional and to the point! Lol ❤
The "Greg Cross Court Deception" is the name of this shot
Mirage shot is a fitting name for it 😎
❤ i will try this Greg shots❤❤❤❤
The cross fade!
The shot should be called the tricky trap i love your content
The Flick and Flop is perfect. Greg played a flick and the opponents footwork became floppy. Sounds funny also!
I suggest the name: The forehand frontcourt feint (fff)
The Rabonna flick 😊
The GrexFlick: a surprise crosscourt flick
The shot should be called the "Gregory Trickory" 😂 (Just thought of another one: "Misleading Mairs")
Great vides as always, how about “The Gregscoop”
Haha, hopefully nobody is scooping it - that's a fault!
I think the should be named - Night'Mairs Flick or "Net'Mairs" Shot whichever works the best..Because that shot is a night mare for the opponent..... Plus Keep on inventing new stuff...🤩🤩
Nah ur a wizard for this shot, I was shocked to see it during the matches - well played.
Haha 🤪
"Broken Ankles" In the video game i play, when we decept someone we call it broken ankles as the opponent many times fall due to inertia of direction
Greg flick is the name that comes to mind
Looks like the Mairs Maneuver!
Haha this is good!
Can we get a tutorial on top spin shots, the quickest deceptive shots?
Might not sound the greatest but i think Rogue Cross is a good name. The shuttle goes away from where your opponents are expecting. The shuttle goes rogue across the court
I will call it the Gregster😂❤
The Grim Reaper😂
The "Scoop and Dupe" shot
I really enjoyed the video, playing against deceptive players is a "nightmair". The comment section is hilarious coming up with names for the shot. I would love to see a video on how to play against deceptive players in the future.
Hahaha yeah we are having a great laugh reading through the names - a lot of creative people! 😂
That's really smart. It should be named after greg, I nominate "The Gregory Trickery" 😉
Greg is just performing wizardry
Greg's classic trickshot 😄
the no looking cross - like to do that myself 😊
I would call it " The Cross Drift "
You should call it 'The Gregceptive Shot' rather than the deceptive shot haha. Amazing work as usual guys 👍
Haha good one 👏 We've had a few 'Gregception' suggestions too! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
I think the shot should be called " heart drop shot"' because the way Greg's racket moves looks like the heart's line on an ECG + the opponent's heart will drop when they see (or don't see) the shot coming.
The cross net swerve?
Wonderful video. How about calling it the "gotcha cross"
1:34 i checked all of these but what if i'm chinese. my eyes can't go too wide. is it still gonna be deceptive enough?
This shot should be called by its acronym CROWN for CROss Wipe Net shot.
You could call this shot 'con-greg-ate'. It obviously is a play on congregate, where people come 'forward for a common cause', but "con" Greg ensures they ate the ground/court. 😂
The Dreg shot (deception+Greg) 😅
😂 Haha, the word 'dreg' is an English slang word - and doesn't have a very positive meaning!
Greg's ankle breaker 😊😊😊😊
How about "Netline Blitz". I guess this would be great.😄😄😄😄
The name for this shot LATE FOREHAND CROSS COURT DECEPTIVE shot
This shot should be simply called Gazelle. The And Greg is the Gazelle King. I love it
Haha 😂
How about ‘The Greg Gaggle Gambit’ shot? Leaving opponents confused and scrambling to recover? 😆
The Greg tech
The "one 2 pull"
This should be called "double drop". It is based on the premise that you need to drop the racket before doing the drop shot. Btw lovely video ❤.
The Greg Houdini
Can You make A video about chosing the right racket ?
Haha, check out the latest video 😆
The Mair's LMUT (Last Moment U-Turn)
Name suggested Z-pivot shot as it does looks like a deceptive Z cross court
This shot should be called " Delayed switching" since there's a delay before you hit the shuttle and land it cross court
The 'slip by' becaus you would always see the shuttle slip by 😁
This shot should be called the Mairs' Tale
Deceptive shots aren't my forte(I'm a smasher guy) but somtetimes I just try to do deceptive shots for fun which leads to the enemy getting the point 😅
New deceptive shot name: The "lying eyes shot"
Hi badminton insight, i was wondering if you have any rackets to give for free
The ‘Gregception Cross Cut’
