Such a useful video from both a technical and tactical point of view! I was also extremely impressed you were able to talk whilst doing those practices 😮
If the BWF were to introduce an award category honoring individuals who have made significant contributions to badminton, my heartfelt recommendation would go to Jenny and Greg. They truly deserve it! I want to commend both of them for their remarkable efforts, and I hope they continue to create and share their amazing online videos.
I really liked how you added situations where the shot should not be played and variations of the shot depending on your position. The most crucial point in this video was about being relaxed as I have always wondered how players that were much smaller than I were able to generate a lot of power. This has literally been a game changer for me in all aspects of my game.
I was taught professionally for less than a year in primary school and uses to play every week until I got to secondary school and completely stopped. 20 years later I'm picking up the racquet again and plays with my partner every week (we try to). We are both amazed how much techniques we don't know and are so eager to learn and train!!! Thanks!!
Been watching the past videos lately like the late backhand and the quality of the video and the way you guys talk has been such a huge difference up to now! What an amazing development for this channel. Wishing u guys more success! ❤️🎉
I used to take badminton classes but because of some issues i was unable to continue the classes but thanks to you guys i can still play badminton as i used to when i took classes!
really great points on different situations e.g. zone 1, 2, 3. Also super helpful tip on creating a building drive softer shot to create an opportunity for a kill vs. hitting it back super hard.
Love these videos as they not only entertain and teach me new information but also reaffirm that what my coach has taught me is correct. Always nice to get the perspective of a top level player🤩 Keep up the good work!!🔥
I had a practice session last week focusing exactly on the Forehand drive. Snaping the wrist was indeed the key to more consistent and controlled shots. Thank you for bringing this video, i can go back to it wherever I return to my bad habits of using my shoulder and swinging like a madman :D
Hey, I used to be on my school badminton team a little more than a decade ago, and had a professional racket (it's sort of heavier). I recently bought a new badminton racket which is considerably lighter. I still have both of them but just not sure if the technology of rackets has changed. The racket is still sturdy, metal, but it's quite light (almost as if it's hollow). Whereas my old one that I used a lot, and still in good shape seems to not be hollow. I may be mistaken in all this, it may just be that there are heavier and lighter rackets around.
I've paused it after 4min 'cos i'm so blown away by how good this video is.. on so many levels. To give two examples, you making the point about the foot landing milliseconds before making contact with the shuttle, is so accurate.. Very few coaches know that and it normally has to be pointed out even to coaches, but you guys knew and say it as part of your coaching. Fantastic! Also when you talk about the wrist, you specified you were referring to bending.. So you specified exactly what wrist movement you meant.. Excellent super clear. Not like most others in badminton that blabber about using or not using the wrist, you used the proper term for the exact wrist movement you meant. And And not only that but you tell the whole story that if there's time then a big swing on it is fine. I am seriously wondering if you guys are sent by God. And in which case i'd have to no longer be an Atheist! And the point about the foot landing milliseconds before.. was similarly amazingly pointed by you as a thing in the overhead backhand clear that makes it easier to time and by making it easier to time, increases the power. And that solved a long riddle and debate i'd heard between coaches and mystery about the landing of the foot on the BH clear and it being a source of power and where that power comes from. You guys are a miracle.
Thank you Jenny and Greg. I was able to win my first tournament today in my club and a lot of it is thanks to all your videos and is why I was able to improve so fast :)
Your videos are extremely helpful and I always watch them for extra training after a tricky training day. One of my majoy problems that I get called out on a lot is slicing my smashes and clears instead of hitting straight during training. If you could include tips on how to stop that kind. ofhabit, it would be great! Once again, thank you so much for the help you have provided me with.
Just go back to badminton then most gyms sports centres or recreational facilities will have badminton courts nets shuttles and somes even have rackets.
So nice video and detail. I already bought your Specific weight training and Multi feed program, super useful for amateur like me to practise and improve. Can you guys just make a training pdf file about how to play badminton beginner/intermediate (grips, footwork…) on your training program.
Started to win games more now due to this video. Great advice. Sorry again for your latest loss. Would be interesting to know . Is it distraction from the big day ?....or loss of form?...how do you guys see it?. But whatever will keep on supporting you guys.
Great video as usual! Your channel is always my go to for developing my technique! I have a question about buying a new racket. I’m looking at the Victor range, I know that you’re sponsored by them. Could you recommend any headlight rackets that’s have a medium to medium stiff flex?
I have a constant problem that couldn't be solved. How do you smash or dropshot a vertically falling shuttle from a high serve? I always hit the feather. And how do you judge whether a shuttle is falling vertically during play?
The panhandle grip is so misunderstood, I wish you could do a special video on it. Important tricky shots rely on it it is crazy.. Back facing and cross-court late backhand, sideway forehand drive, forehand reverse slice, net kills..
One of the hardest bad habits to get-rid of , if you are a player from none-systametic background (like myself). I was so used to panhandle and slowly moving in to V grip.
Hi. Just seen your result from this morning. 😢. Fingers crossed for you both to get back to winning ways. Bit of luck i guess. Just tie your opponants shoe laces together when there not looking. 😊
When the shuttle is below the net in your mid court and instead of clearing the shuttle up to the back, you play a slow passing shot to the side of your opponents’ mid court, do you get into a front back position or side by side position?
@@BadmintonInsight I am sorry. What I meant was, when you hit a netshot, sometimes the opponent counters with a cross net shot. How should we defend against that?
Is there a name for the softer shot that you mentioned should be played if the shuttle is at the lower third of the net in height? And would be nice if one day you make a video on that too
@@BadmintonInsight Yeah but I play with players more skillful than me. They just hit all the shots to my partner and we lose with me not having a chance to do much. Still I'll re-watch that video

Hey I have a question. What grip do you use for the drive, forehand grip/v grip or panhandle?

I am a varsity player at my school and this video help a lot for me ❤
Very insightful! Placement really is king for drives, but I was never able to break down the reasons for that so extensively. 😊
Thank you so much Andika, glad it was helpful :)
Thank you Jenny and Greg. I was able to win my first tournament today in my club and a lot of it is thanks to all your videos and is why I was able to improve so fast :)

Do you start with the correct prep and grip?
So many things could go wrong so it is best to begin checking the basics by filming yourself.
@@ari-athbadminton0301 oh okay, I’ll try that, thank you!
I was waiting for this video! Thanks a lot 😊
You're welcome! We hope it helps you 😀
Your videos are always the best. Especially when you give example from both Professional and Beginner perspective.
That’s very kind, thanks 😊
The video is amazing as usual, but I also want to compliment the way you guys slip the ad in the video, it’s very interesting and funny
Haha thank you so much 😆
I wish I didn't stop playing badminton...(The comment section is so nice to me 💙💙
Just go back to badminton then most gyms sports centres or recreational facilities will have badminton courts nets shuttles and somes even have rackets.
😂
there's still time my friend.
Bro you can just start up again
It's okay, it's not too late to comeback
speak of the devil! i has just finished watching your backhand drive tutorial and was wondering about the forehand one, thanks so much
Haha great timing! What video is next? 👀😜
You're amazing, guys! Keep up the fantastic work! pls!
So nice video and detail. I already bought your Specific weight training and Multi feed program, super useful for amateur like me to practise and improve. Can you guys just make a training pdf file about how to play badminton beginner/intermediate (grips, footwork…) on your training program.
Thanks for a very informative video! Learned a lot and will try to implement this tomorrow on our game. Thanks Jen and Greg!
You're very welcome! Good luck, there's a lot to digest 😃
Started to win games more now due to this video. Great advice. Sorry again for your latest loss. Would be interesting to know . Is it distraction from the big day ?....or loss of form?...how do you guys see it?. But whatever will keep on supporting you guys.

thanks! it helps so much
You're very welcome 😀🏸
Thank you so much. Now I know the mistake I was Doing When playing Drives. I will try to Minimise it My mistakes😇
Love from India ❤
you guys are awesome! When is your next competition?
Wanted to know if badminton doubles supported the male/female duo that you 2 play. Or do you both have to play in separate divisions
Please do a video on how to brush at the net. Pretty please! 🙏
Great teaching, thanks
Thank you guys wonderful for doubles
You're welcome 😀
Thank you very much much, it really helped me improve my forehand drive.👍🙂
Yay, that’s awesome!
I have a constant problem that couldn't be solved. How do you smash or dropshot a vertically falling shuttle from a high serve? I always hit the feather. And how do you judge whether a shuttle is falling vertically during play?
For the drill at the wall how hard and high are you supposed to hit?
Hi, Greg and Jenny. I am wondering why not using panhandle grid in forehand drive. It felt wired when I try forehand grid instead.
just saw you play in the singapore open. amazing
The panhandle grip is so misunderstood, I wish you could do a special video on it.
Important tricky shots rely on it it is crazy..
Back facing and cross-court late backhand, sideway forehand drive, forehand reverse slice, net kills..
One of the hardest bad habits to get-rid of , if you are a player from none-systametic background (like myself). I was so used to panhandle and slowly moving in to V grip.
What string tension is much better for me, I'm a senior citizen already, tnx advance for your reply
Probably around 24lbs but it depends on a few different factors. We have mentioned these on a blog post on our website
okay that sponsored segment was great. that's a sub from me
Haha, yay! Glad you enjoyed it & thanks for the sub 😜
Love the video production and how you merged the vpn ads into it. Highly amused. :D
Ah thanks a lot, we’re very glad 😀
3:46 I’m being told to put feet side by side which I don’t understand bc I step into the shot as Jennie says … I really don’t understand the reasoning
your videos are very good i did imporove my game in 2 months thank you
Woohoo! 😁
Hi. Just seen your result from this morning. 😢. Fingers crossed for you both to get back to winning ways. Bit of luck i guess. Just tie your opponants shoe laces together when there not looking. 😊
I don't know what to do yourvtricks help me but pls make one video about how to hit cross smash and dribble
hello
i am a new player
there are a few terms or drive names which idk, so can u put a bit more description abt the shots?
thx for reading😀
Can you give an example of the terms/names?
Hi there amzing video! Much love❤
Thanks! 😃
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
When the shuttle is below the net in your mid court and instead of clearing the shuttle up to the back, you play a slow passing shot to the side of your opponents’ mid court, do you get into a front back position or side by side position?
Depends on where your opponents are positioned and how tight to the net your shot is
Thanks for that!
Welcome 🤗
What is your racket tension?
What kind of racket do you use?
Thankyou you
Welcome 😁
Amazing videoss!!! I have learnt so much from you guys!
Thank you so much ☺️ that’s so nice!
@@BadmintonInsight I am always waiting for your videos, you guys inspire me so much 😊💖✨
THANKS!!!
Thanks for watching 😁
Can you make a separate video on timing plsssssss
Great video.
Can you make a video how to defend cross net shots.
Thanks! 😊 What do you mean - defend “cross net shots”? Do you mean cross smashes?
@@BadmintonInsight
I am sorry. What I meant was, when you hit a netshot, sometimes the opponent counters with a cross net shot. How should we defend against that?
Is there a name for the softer shot that you mentioned should be played if the shuttle is at the lower third of the net in height? And would be nice if one day you make a video on that too
We’d call it a “push”, and have you seen our video “master the mid-court”? 😁
my next round for tryouts is basically elimination, im wathcing these so i can win, wish me look :D
7:45 THE GUT is at almost at max, Anyway the video was helpul!🙂🙂
pls make a video about how to win the match in single
Please make video about the back hand and love from 🇮🇳
Do you mean the backhand drive? If so, we’ve already done!
@@BadmintonInsight ohh thank you guys I will see it right now❤️
Tomorrow I have a tournament how should I prepare I'm 12 years old
Today I have a tournament thanks
How did it go? 🙏🏼
Wait a minute i thought you both are in Malaysia byvthe way nice tutorial😊
Pleas add some more singles in your videos
Coming soon!! The drive can also be used to great effect in singles too as we mention in the video 😃
This video was so helpful for me as a young player
Can you also make a video on backhand drive.
Thanks Aryan! As we mentioned at the end of the video, we've already done one on the backhand drive! 😁
@@BadmintonInsight Ok Thankyou Sir
"Wow, the wall allways gets it back" 🤣🤣🤣
😂 it's true.....
You are doing Great but also do focus on single strategy 💯🎉
Coming soon 👀
Watching this video makes me want to become a tennis ball. They get all the attention, and they don't even have to do anything! 🎾😅
Key word : don't hold your grip too tight and hold it when your about to hit the shuttle.
Yes, squeezing your grip when you strike the shuttle will help add power :)
thanks for the tutorial, and can i get one racket please...😅😂😂.Just one.🥺
Thanks! Unfortunately we don’t have any to give away
Haha 😂, No problem, btw can you guys make a video on BWF, Hall of fame.
That brand integration was seamless 👍
Haha thanks 😆 thought we’d try something new!
@@BadmintonInsight personally I prefer it separate from the content. Can't skip it if it's during the content like this 😢
I play with 2 or 3 dollar racket ...😂 without grip still better than many expensive rackets 😅
😊
🙏
Funny how Jordan drops his racket low after his drives :)
Unfortunately we’re not all as fast & skilful as Jordan though 😭😅
I think I need a tutorial on how to not get frustrated from your teammate in a doubles match
Haha, have you seen our video on “how to play with a worse partner” 👀😬
@@BadmintonInsight Yeah but I play with players more skillful than me. They just hit all the shots to my partner and we lose with me not having a chance to do much. Still I'll re-watch that video
👍👍👍💖💖💖
your puns drive me crazy
In a good way? 🤣
@@BadmintonInsight yep after watching this video my drives have started accelerating (lol)
One time Chuck Norris played badminton against a wall.
He won, twice!!!
I don't think SurfsharkVPN can Drive in China...
Driving all the puns
😆😜
My racket is no more😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Oh no, why not?
First
Badminton is so bloody complex 😅
It sure is if you want to be good!
The first time I didn't skip the sponsorship ad!🏸😄
Haha 😆
