      Hi Greg, I'm a big fan of yours. I'm going to thickin my face, I just broke my very old racket and I'm planning to stop because of it. Can I get a racket from you so that I can continue my dream to be the best player I can be and soon to beat you. Enjoying your videos here in the Philippines.

      All in good fun. I was surprised though that Pat didn't recognise a national player. It just goes to show badminton is really a less popular sport in the UK. I may be wrong though.

Your warm ups and training videos are a good help for me to refresh on the trainings I had before in the younger years. Love lots 💓 💗

    Heaps of credit to Pat. He took the gag really well.
    More importantly in my book, as a good 'intermediate' he was prepared to play a beginner that he didn't know. Too many club players forget their roots and don't want to play with or against beginners.
    Good fun, well done guys!

    Amazing, I was smiling while watching. A story: I help to coach beginners at a badminton leisure school in Porto, Portugal. We had this blonde foreign guy once coming for our training sessions. As I always do, I play a bit with beginners to measure their skill and fit them with same level players. I start playing with him with a plastic shuttle and in a few rounds, I noticed it was worth it to switch to feathers. 15 minutes later I was dripping sweat like I was in a competitive game. I paused for breathing and ask "So, you have played before, where?" His answer "Oh in the Czech Republic, I was in the youth national team." :D Shout out there for Jan!

    I love how your not serious playing and playing with the wrong hand is still more than a match for me trying my hardest.

    With the racket hand switch, you can straight away hear that distinct sound pro players make. Speaking of playing actual games, please upload your games if you can-either both of you playing mixed doubles or singles. But a serious game that is.😀
