Giving you an insight into all things BADMINTON!
You two have armed me with a new weapon for my Tuseday game. Thanks a lot 😘
go smash your future opponents champ
Just watched the England Badminton National Championship and seen you two won the final. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks 😃
You’re very welcome! We hope it goes well 😃🏸
watching you guys has always improved my game a lot. thanks for providing a super simple tutorial for such a difficult shot !!
That’s great to hear 😃 you’re welcome! And well done for putting everything into practice!!
I've been looking for instructions to play like this. Thanks again. Great video as always
Great explanation of how to send crosses to either side of the court. I never realized how important using the legs were in generating more power. Best way to start my Sunday ❤
Amazing insights! Thank you once again 😊
This is exactly what I needed before bsdminton season starts. Thanks Greg, thanks Jenny!
There's also the double bluff, which Sukamuljo often favours when defending on the right hand side of the court , where he shapes up to do the cross court shot but flicks his wrist at the last minute to send the shuttle straight and sending both opponents to cover the cross court shot, forcing them to play a late backhand.
Yeh does he play it with top spin too?
That’s not off a smash
The effort you put to create these videos🫡🫡
Great video as usual. Covering all technical aspects 🥰
Thanks 😃 Glad you enjoyed it!
my sunday has been blessed
Hope you enjoyed the video 🤩🏸
@tonInsight Why wont we???
Wednesday I had a training session on defense. And now you've released a video on cross defense. :D
Great explanation ❤❤❤
Great explanation as always, now I just need to internalize this!
Thanks! Hope it goes well 😃
Amazing, the detailed breakdown of steps have been very helpful. I'm going to try this at my next badminton session (after practicing the movement a few more times) :) Thank you both so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Great Video, Thanks for the Tips Jenny and Greg
Glad we could help! 😃🏸
amazing tips.
Gotta say. Big fan of your videos. 🙂👋 I'm older sort of the amateur players maybe here but played tennis and golf as well and probly some other paddle/racket games, can't recall even. What I always seem to do when I check your excellent videos through is that I rather look at them like "how's that move the guys are doing?". Sort of mimicing the feel and the idea (like a kid even I am at my 40's) instead of the explanation maybe so much. This idea of mimicry make sense to you as a way of learning a technique? Younger me used to sort of "read the manual-type" and the older me is more like chiill "nah. lets look at how that works a bit and replicate it"... 🙂
thanks you i was tired of losing over and over so i watched your channel before like 2 years i think but guess what I totally forgot your channel and started losing ;-; so i got notification of a new vid of yours so i enjoyed this vid and i will try this today it self i have very high hopes for this so again thanks for the vid and do never give up -InspireUpLift
You make it look so easy 😆 See you at the All England, good luck!
Great video again, you're really good at explaining the technique. Can you somewhen make a video on some net deception? Best of luck in the upcoming tournaments, rooting for you at the All England!
Thank you very much 😊 yes we definitely can in the future!
i found this helpful thx alot!
Glad it helped! 😃
Me struggling alot with the doubles smash defence on right arm area 😅 Now gonna use those notch tips😊
Great video! Just what I need, coz I kept returning smashes straight back tot he smasher ... 😅
Yoo tysm I learned now how to play badminton that really helps me alot
Great! You’re welcome 😃
Thank you for the lesson. Bty Pretty shirts both wearing today!
Thanks 🤩
Hello! What badminton racket grips do you use? Love your videos
Hi I'm Carla. I'm the admin of Danang Expats badminton in Vietnam since 2018. I'm your super fan. Our group is also using Victor clark 5 shuttlecock. Can you make the same tour: pro.vs. amateur in Danang ?
Probably my favorite defense, I love using it. One thing I'd say though, is that a lot of double and mixed players don't defend well against this defense. They often get passed diagonally when it's their role to intercept and save the attacker behind them and they don't. Would be interesting!
Bro u helped me a lot thanks for that
Glad we can help 😃🏸
This helped me win a tournament thanks!
Wow you put it into action fast! Congrats 😃
Hey i love wacthing you guys i was wondering what badminton racket are you using.
We are both using the VICTOR Thruster F
nice video!
Thanks! 🤩
I always see Huang Ya Qiong play this defense. Thank you for explaining it well... :D
She’s great at it!! 😃
Hello drear Greg and Jenny what a great tutorial you made for us Thanks a lot ! ❤ A few videos earlier I saw you two were analyzing people's smashes . Can I ask where I can contact you plz ?
The recent Indonesia video was crazy good 🎉
Thanks 😃🏸
❤Always Thanking you ❤❤❤
Thank you for the support!
0:08 I like your shirt with Sakura Sport on it. Just wondering where to buy one?😊
my teusday game will be of another level now!
Very nice video. What about if the opponent hits the shot on your body. On your shoulder of the racket holding hand
You can try the “brap” - we’ve made an entire video on this shot!
So good
Thank you 😃
Hey love you videos just wanted to ask if you would ever come to Denmark and play against you subscribers?
Maybe defending late rear court shots? I don't know just an Idea Greg and Jenny.
Hey guys love the vids. I have a tough questions on ruling. Is it a fault if you let go of your racket when reaching into a shot to play the shuttle? Almost like you’re throwing your racket just a little bit to try and reach the shot. I’ve done this a few times in play and miraculously made a perfect drop just over the net and some of the players tell me that’s not legal, are they correct?
It’s definitely not a fault no (unless your racket hits the net!) but it’s very hard to do so congrats! Maybe it’s not a good idea to do regularly though in case they get your shot back!! Haha
@@BadmintonInsight For sure not trying to do it, it’s purely desperation when coming forward on a tight drop from the back sometimes when I reach if I put all I have into trying to get it I reach so far I just barely let go and the odd time it goes over
Hi, i have a question about my badminton string, so i have a lining windstorm 74, and i just got a nee string which is the RS super micro 1500, which has 0.68 mm thickness, my question is, is a 0.68 mm string a good string for a single player? Because i usually play with more offence and defence so i need a lot of repulsion power
I think 0.68mm is fairly standard. You could also consider thinner strings (at the expense of durability) for more repulsion power, but only if you feel that you need it; I am using 0.68mm myself as well.
Jenny/Gregg do you know if you will play Tuesday or Wednesday at The All England?
Tuesday! 😊
Thank you for another great video Coach Jen and Coach Greg. I might have missed something but I think it was not discuss when to use a cross court lift or cross court drive. That being said, when do you cross drive or cross lift?
I am first year to watch your video
Smashing! 😂
can you do a update video on how to choose the right string + right string tension since i am an intermediate player and i get judged for using a BG 66 Force with a 29lbs for main string and 32 lbs for cross strings. the guy who string my rackets always judge me for my racket tension and the choice of racket😅 am i doing something wrong? i have been playing for over 2 year and i have only recently change my choice of string and string tension 4 months ago😊
When you say "judge" do you mean you're criticised? If so, is that criticism positive, constructive and helpful? Those string tensions do seem rather high for an intermediate player - do you get breakages often, and can you control your shots well?
@@stevemawer848 yeah i am criticised and for me i feel like is probably unhelpful as they say "look at this LCW wannabe" etc i am pretty sure it's very high for an intermediate player but i am talkin about that on the main racket aka not my training racket, my training racket tension is around 26 main and 29 cross, i usually like my shuttle going as it hits the string and yes i can control all of my shot except for the net, when i play net sometime the shuttles don't go over the net and instead just spins and doesn't go foward. Is probably my hand issue but am not sure.
With that robot dance move, this video has it all
😂
Nice new outfits !!
Thanks 😁🏸
This is making me less scared for my tryouts tomorrow but I am still scared of dropshots as I can’t recieve them thanks to my weight 😅
Hope the tryouts went well!
Thanks! But it didn’t, the coach said I need better Mental Strength and Shot Quality 😢😅
I’ve been waiting for this video. But I don’t like the part where you defend with the brap, what if the smash is too sharp and you can’t use the brap? That’s the one defence shot I’ve been waiting for.
hello sir , hello maam ( thank you so much ) i wish you both always smile . ( i love you both )
Excellent robot.
Can I suggest the next video?
Not sure how to message you guys. Are you going to the 2024 US Open? Can you find out where the US Open is going to be held? If you're not planning on playing there, how much of a guarantee would change your minds and play?
Email is always ok! Unfortunately we don’t think we will be this year due to financial constraints
I get it. What amount of subsidy would make you guys consider playing at the US Open? If you don't want to reply in this format, what is your email address?
Our email is contact@badminton-insight.com 😊 @@pierrepham2076
Can you make a video on how to time the jump in jump smash
I tried to jump smash many times
But still i cant get the timing correct
Thumbs up for the robot move :D
Nice video keep it up but how to defend a smash
here with old title :)
Are you looking forward to playing Marcus and Lauren at the All England? Not good for Brits, is it, since only one of you can progress? 😞
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
🫶
There is one more crosscourt shot is missing that done by Yuta Watanabe 🤔🤔
We'd all like to be able to play like him! 🙂
I lost my match. I just want to give up but I'm still playing this sport. I keep losing and losing but why am I still playing badminton when I'm not good at everything in that sport. I'm a freaking varsity why the hell do I always lose.
Try to enjoy it 😊🏸
I enjoyed myself by learning basic techniques and footwork to advanced ones. I dont much focus on match results 😀😀😀
New sponsor?
Did they switch sponsors?
Yes, we're now partnered with Sakura Sport 🤩🏸🙏🏼
Hendra setiewan
What if they smash near you elbow
It depends which side! Maybe a brap from the right side if you’re right handed 😀 or backhand
@@BadmintonInsight thank you for your feedback 👍
Hmm I see! So this is why my cross-court defense is so hit and miss, I’m probably messing up the movement of my legs and not consistently generating enough power as a result 🤔
Potentially yes! Hopefully this video can help correct these things 🙏🏼
❤️ *Promo sm*
and I was tired of getting hit on the stomach or elbow.... 😅
Can anyone tell whether a 22 lbs racket can fight a 30lbs racket?
Do you mean string tension (if you mean racquet weight they're both very heavy!)? It all depends on the player - some like higher tensions than others, and they behave differently to suit the player's style. 22 seems a little low but 30 seems high, unless you're a professional player.
@@stevemawer848 yeh I mean string tensiom
Please come india 🇮🇳
unless you're chae yu jung dont do cross court block lololol
