We're writing this over a year after releasing it and wow, we're very sorry about the quality! Hopefully you can look past that as the information is still good 😃
Haha honestly didn't even notice on first watchthrough back then, and only noticing it now as it's a stark contrast to your own high-quality videos nowadays. And that's the noblest goal, striving to be better than yourself, yesterday 😄
@@raffscallion6639 Haha, thanks Raff - was spectacularly poor video quality though 😆
@@BadmintonInsight what camera were you using?

Do still do a give away racquet.. may be the light fighter one.. I'm a beginner and trying to move to a intermediate level
I would love to perfect my non existent backhand

@@artisticyeti22 why "lol".... They are really helping out a lot of club players who somehow are deprived of coaching but are really interested and enthusiastic about badminton..... Trolling everyone doesn't make u look cool....

This is a really informative video. I have been playing badminton for more than 10 years now. I had no idea what the signs on my rackets were. Honestly, I never paid much attention to it, other than the string tension. I play with borrowed rackets a lot and try to adapt my playing style according to what suits the racket. I definitely learned a lot about rackets from this video. You guys are doing a great job.
Thank you so much 😀
I’ve been playing again now for about six months I have private coaching once a week the coach feels that I could do with a better racket yes please thank you so much as well I seem to be learning a lot from you both keep warm keep safe and all the best thanks again John
Always interested in perfecting my doubles defence, especially driving back shots directed at my racket hip or shoulder.
Love to perfect the backhand smash... And to be able to switch and change my mind between a drop off smash while making a backhand return.
Have you checked out our backhand video here? ua-cam.com/video/F7Clf4SnTlI/v-deo.html
I've recently found you guys and your channel is amazing! I bought a Victor Thruster Ryuga 2 Pro and will start playing badminton again.
Great video guys with some excellent tips. I would really like to perfect my backhand overhead shots and clears, they're so tricky to generate the power!
3:37 I love the enthusiasm with which you make these videos :D
btw, I find APACS to be inexpensive and good for beginners and Yonex Atrox 5fx if you want to use a light racket which is not too expensive
Can you make a video on the type of string and string tension to choose
yeah
Thanks to you Greg and Jenny! This video is very strong and a big influence to me as I don't know which racquet to get so I look up to you guys as your the greatest professionals. I've been playing a long time now and still don't know what to choose. I would love to improve on my accuracy and damage on the court as I'm good with smashes but I need to use my brain to win. Thanks you for your influence, and I hope I will win a racquet from you sometime🏆
Have have used a lot of rackets in last 15 years and my top fav is Karakal , most flexible light just perfect Another one is carbonex 21 little less power but nice third is Yonex Zstrike
This is great help. As a returner, i have chosen the Auraspeed 70k. As much as i like the raket (bought a 2nd one), i had a few problems with arm strain. Its not very head heavy, but it weights around 90g. Keep that in mind, if your arm muscles are not fully adapted. I might try something lighter for playing friendly doubles.
Glad it helped!
I would like to perfect a more controlled doubles and mixed serve , I think consistency is the biggest factor
Thanks guys for this, and including the part about grips, I had asked for this in a previous comment. I was suprised about preferring heavier rackets, I thought lighter the better. I have head heavy, stiff rackets now as I was getting tennis elbow with flexible rackets. Maybe the As90k would be a good fit to help with net shots, particularly drops. I'll definitely look into the Victor range regardless. Good tips always guys.
Thanks Declan, hope it helped you! Any more questions just drop us a message! Thanks 😊
honestly, I want to master a good clear shots. When I play singles, I realize how important it is to have this fundamental down in order to stay in the point!
I'd go for the Auraspeed 90K as I think that would best suit my game (or whatever racket you were using when you got that net cord :-). As for the shot, well I''d love to be more consistent with the backhand mid-court cross shot. I see the pro's doing this, turning defence into attack, a great shot to perfect.
Yes, I agree! I love the flexibility and lightweight!
For me it'd definitely be backhand clears from one end to the other. It's always been really tough and definitely one of my weak points!

Live the videos :). I also really want to perfect my straight smash along the left hand side of the court tucked away as far as possible to the side!
i literally just found your channel about a month and you guys really made me bought myself a racket to play!
ps: the video quality upgrade is insane! its honestly cute seeing you guys in the old videos. you both really improved at talking infront of a camera!
Ahhh thank you so much!! Hahaha I know, we hate watching our old videos cos of the quality (camera + us) haha
The smash is such a basic shot but really mastering it is one of my dreams.
I hope i can inch ever closer to that goal with a BXR :)
Good video as always and for a shot that i would like to perfect in my game, it's probably the smash, but more important to that is getting in the right position in the backcourt in doubles and having the right timing to perfectly transmit the maximum power possible.
this video published 2 years ago, you were trying to get 1k subscriber. 2 years passed, and now you guys have almost 200k subsriber, its very well deserved!
Haha thanks 😀
Amazing videos! keep up the great content. :) Love the variety of content!
The giveaway is now closed! Thank you so much to everyone who entered, we are blown away by how many entries there were! 💥🏸 The giveaway winner will be announced in our video on Sunday so make sure you watch to see if you are the lucky winner! 😁🎁
Like 256 people are so nervous, If they won something. I wish everyone who participated good luck and don't forget to be careful in and outside of the court.
Ahoi!
All the best to everyone!
But it is kinda mean to let all the people wait for so long. That is like bullying 😊
Congrats for 1k + subs
Many more to come 👍👍
is there only 1 winner?
I'm a 53 yr old playing against great players in my club that are 1/2 my age or those around 30's, 40's. Really have been unlucky choosing a good flexible head heavy racket and one with good power to match the youngsters. I’m pretty fast on court specially at the net {for my age ;) } and a good racket would help me get that extra edge. Watch a lot of Badminton videos and make it a point to practice what I watch. Keeping my fingers crossed. Cheers
Keep it up Glen! 💥
Wow, you guys are over 100k subscribers now, within a little over a year. Speaks about the quality of the content you put out. Congrats and cheers! Keep the videos coming.
PS: this channel is so good that almost everyone that I've shared one of your videos to have subscribed 🤩
Yeah it’s crazy! Thank you so much 😀 and that’s great to hear!! Maybe these old videos aren’t quite as good as the new ones!
Nano speed 9900 is my favourite. BG65 ti with tension 30 to 32. Is spot on.
Wow. I'm only 8 months late! You guys come from less than 1k subs to over 34K now. Congrats. Great content.
Thank you so much ☺️ it’s been a crazy few months!
I want to perfect my serve, I'm generally pretty consistent with defensive and attacking play for my skill level, but my serve often lets me down and offers the opponent an advantage as it isn't tight enough.
Like a crazy backhand smash
One shot that i would like to be perfect is definetly the net shot during rallies,i often tend to take it low during the rallies
Can’t wait to get back on court, air badminton is..interesting! I want to practise/learn the tumbling net shot. Love net play and want to be more crafty
This is your most complex video yet, with awesome animated graphics, multiple film locations and excellent coverage of your training session! For my game, I'd like to keep improving my read on opponents' strengths and weaknesses - specifically playing shots that "look bad" but in hindsight are good. An example would be a lift that is just out of the opponent's smash range resulting a mishit on their part (or causes them to become out of position), or forcing a specific serve return that plays into a predictable set up for my partner to capitilize on.
Thank you very much! 🤗 We're trying to improve every video! Set plays are a really important part of doubles - we will definitely be doing a video on this!!
@@BadmintonInsight That's super awesome to know you two will cover this topic. Yes, it's more apparent in doubles, especially at the club level when you know most people's playstyles and habits.
If you have ever heard of/watched the manga/anime Prince of Tennis, there's a character that utilizes "Data Tennis" to account for varying percentages on the likelihood of certain shots his opponents would make. Applying something similar in badminton can run up a couple of points and sometimes temporarily mentally "break" opponents because what we give them looks like an easy shot, but because something was off, or it played into our partner's strengths, it may result in their mistakes and loss of confidence.
This pretty much ties into the mental game that most people like to talk about, but don't really address. Most of the content on UA-cam is about incredible shots, agility, physical prowess, etc etc, and when they do talk about a player's mental game, they just say it's strong, but don't really explain in more detail. So, I'm hoping from both your perspectives, you two can make a video on what it takes to be mentally strong during game situations.
On the singles level, you could cover something like: Do you lose confidence if a certain shot is not working, do you stay stubborn to try and get that shot right risking mistakes and points, or do you change your playstyle and shot selection to stay in the game?
On the doubles level, how quickly can you maintain the mental pressure on one or both opponents? Can you afford to employ the same tactics in multiple points before they adapt, or do you mix it up and keep them guessing with little variations of the same play?
I know it's a lot to cover, but hopefully you two can break it up into palatable videos! =)
I play singles so thruster bxr works for me as it’s a head heavy racket which I don’t have and the shot I want to perfect is backhand clear difficult initially but looks elegant.

In my game I would love to perfect my reverse slice drop shot. I like the combination of a deceptive racket motion coupled with the slower speed of the shuttle
Very informative video. I am happy for you that you've reached almost 200k subscribers as compared to 800 when you made this video. Well done!
Thanks 😀 It’s been a long journey!
I would love to improve my backhand drive.... Also keep up the good work.
It would be great if you could do a sit down video going over your personal journey, competitions etc.
Thank you for the good suggestion! 😊
I would love to perfect the staight backhand drop and some other deceptive shots. I would love to win the Auraspeed 90K!
Thank you for the amazing videos. I have been playing badminton for nearly 10 years and it will be my lifetime sport. I moved to west London last year, hope to meet more badminton lovers, play badminton and improve technics together. I want to perfect my drive and front net speed in games, I would love to win the AS 90K. And yes, my name is Victor, what a coincidence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your comment Victor! It gave us a laugh, what a great name! We hope you can get back on court soon and keep enjoying badminton!
I would always recommend trying before you buy if possible; I've sometimes found rackets have a very different feel even if on paper the specs are similar...
Another great video guys, well explained! Love Victor rackets :) I need to perfect my cross court drop shots, and would love to win the Auraspeed 90K!
I want to improve my smash , I keep hitting the net. I’m a beginner and I find your videos very helpful
I would love the aura speed 90k
Technique not racquet.

Awesom Videos ....Thank you for comin up with this new channel

Love your videos guys, super fun and informative - very helpful for me as a player as I'm starting to train more consistently and will be getting coaching soon! Where would you recommend we go to shop for racquets and try them out before we buy - are there many badminton-specific shops in the UK?
I found your videos during lockdown very inspiring
Thank you 😀

I would like to perfect my serve and my smash after having elbow and shoulder surgery :) Can't wait to play in 2 weeks 🏸
Thanks a lot! Brilliant!
Thanks for the video Greg and Jenny! I use the jetspeed s10 because I love the speed of the racket. How do you think this racket compares with the auraspeed 90k? I also found I like the balance of the jetspeed which is even balance/slightly head light compared to head heavy rackets (like Greg mentioned). I would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!
Thank you for all your videos. I would like know how to play the backhand smash.
A lot of this is down to preference, playstyle and ability. However, what I would say is similar to tennis, a head heavy racket over time can put a lot of strain on the shoulder.
Thanks for the content! I would like to perfect my smash returns on the back hand!
thanks and look forward for the racket :)
can you recommend a good racket for my intermediate level and love to smash n defence around the net, tnx :)
Thank you so much guy's I'm always trouble to choose my racket this video help me a lot

You are very welcome! That is great to hear and is exactly what we are trying to do with the videos 😀Let us know if you have any ideas for future videos that could help you!
Choosing a racquet was always a confusing stuff....much clear now. Backhand shots...damn toughest part of my game....so working on skill to improve
I would like to perfect my drive defense shots, specifically when the smash/drive shots are on the racket hand side.
I would like to perfect my cross court smash! This would be perfect to combine my smash technique with a Aurospeed 90K or BXR!
I just love the game of badminton and thank u so much for the Right advise to pick up the perfect racket cheers guys 😀😀
Our pleasure!

I'm an all round doubles player.. however I love to play backhand smashes & its unique.. I'm currently using jetspeed 12 & hypernano 800 Ltd power both in 3U.. these are head heavy, very good for offence.. but lagging in defence/back hand.. wish to try aurospeed... by the way Nice video with clear explanation about rackets.. 👌

You earned a sub these are bloody amazing tips
