Wonderful video and tips. However, there is a 5th method that I often use under any of the scenarios that you mention. When my opponent hits the shuttle, I slightly raise my chin as I watch the shuttlecock go over my head. I then shift my weight back until I realize that there is no way in hell I can get it. If the shuttle lands inbounds., I proclaim " Nice shot". If it goes out of bounds, I look like a stud for conserving energy. It seem like your option are much better. Thanks for sharing.
FINALLY a video content that I've been searching for on your for ages!!!!!!! People keep searching "how to smash" "how to drive" but the right footwork is half the game in badminton! 🙌
Aloha Greg and Jenny, practice, practice, practice, using repetition, repetition, repetition. No short cuts. Great roadmap to use and awesome technical instruction. Thanks. Stay well.
I have been searching for this kind of video for years in UA-cam because I am struggling with my rear court footwork to execute good shots. It’s really great that you guys brought this topic up! It certainly requires a lot of practices to perform those footwork you describe in the video. Until I master these techniques I always try to say this to myself „move you legs first and get behind the shuttle”.
Today I watched this just before going to badminton court. It helped me a lot, and tried to apply yours moves, and I felt so good, and played well. It was fully tired and sweating match. Thank you so much. I could feel the differences I played yesterday and previous matches practice and improvement.
This is gold!! thank you so much for the clear explanation. Couldnt have found such good content elsewhere. Hope to have a course by badminton insight on footwork drills training regimes and schedule , for self practice
Thankyou so much to you both guys today I'm playing so well couldn't express now I'm almost winning every match in my society Words cannot express how much you mean to me and congrats In advanced for hitting 100k subs Watching your video for last 8 months
Woah that's a lotttt of good info,thanks for the tips 🥰 Really appreciate the effort you guys are putting in making these videos for us😍👏 😊 Lots of love ❤️
Great video! May i suggest that you make a video about 'what to do after flick serve in doubles' when you're the server. Because most of the time after i do a flick serve, i'm always confused on where should i be (And then ended up losing the rally). Keep up the good work!
Hi Greg and Jenny. This is a really helpful video. You showed what to use for each scenario, and each of that techniques has a separate video like the jump out, jump smash, and the scissor kick. But you didn't made a video about the kick-through. I'm really hoping to see a video for that. But anyways, this video is still really helpful.
Thank you for all your enlightening videos! They are all very well-done with clear explanations and helpful tips. Much appreciated! I noticed that Greg held his breath before doing the split steps to the rear corners in this video. Is that to increase the explosiveness of the return? When do you release your breath? I noticed puffy cheeks still after he hit the bird. Thanks for your help!
Great video!! There are so many things to learn and get better at in badminton that forgot the basics of footwork…… ugh 😩 Do you two ever play practice games against other national team mates ? If so I think it would be nice to see some of those games and hear you two break down what strategies are used in each rally etc ….
Thanks for the video, as always, good stuff. I want to share that I sometimes have this habit of fading away while smashing like jumping early and not doing the footwork because I keep on assuming I'll be late for the smash which then results to a weak smash hehe
Great video! It would be nice if you explained how to read lifts. What distinguishes high/medium/flat/really-flat lifts? I suppose this varies from person to person and requires experience to react to on the fly during a match
ḥi i am 10 yrs and i love u r badminton videos i would love it if u can also tell me my mistakes personally big thank you u are the best badminton tutorial channel on youtube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!looking forward for more videos thanks!
Great video guys! Something I think would be cool to see is how you guys split up your badminton training, so which specific skills get practiced when and how often you train a certain technical point, for example net play or offensive shots. Is there like a list of things that get trained and then those things are repeated again in rotation, etc. Would be cool to see how it’s structured. Great content as always!
@@BadmintonInsight I am a right hand player my right hand is on correct position whan i am playing but what about other hand I ll no other hand help for body control and stability but would plz tell about the position oh other hand by the way your video are very helpful and topic are 👍💯
Great video! Can you do video about footwork from the end of the court all the way to the net area and vice versa instead of being in the centre point? Would love to see this!
At 3:02 why didn't Greg land his scissor kick with back foot landing first followed by the front foot? From what I understand the scissor kick on the forehand side is to help you come forward, and he does come forwards after.. so why not land back foot then front foot? Thanks
Great Video ! Explained very well, I drill shot 1, 2 & 3, where as shot type 4 I should concentrate more on - thanks for that! P.S I noticed you both using the new VICTOR THRUSTER F C BADMINTON black and gold how are you liking it for doubles?
Needed the stop drop tutorial, also was looking for a good tutorial on movement into forehand corner, I wonder if this channel is just becoming aimed at me! Also, it's scary how you can do this footwork both left and right handed. I am useless with my weak hand.
@@BadmintonInsight You could do or you could simply prepare a video on how to avoid slicing on the forehand corner jump out! I used to love all of those shots and was particularly strong with the slice but then covid hit and I have not trained since. Now, I can only slice on shots in that corner and, when I try and slice intentionally, I always slice to much so what was once an excellent weapon is now a massive weakness.
Hey Greg and Jenny I have a question for you . LINING WIND LITE [ 78 grams , 30 lbs tension , head heavy balance , full carbon graphite ] is worth 3000 rupees [30 pounds ] while LINING WINDSTORM [ 78 grams , 30 lbs tension , head heavy balance , full carbon graphite ] is worth 6000 rupees [60 pounds ] . Both have same properties but why is the prize difference so great . I mean what are the other factors of racket which affects its performance . Please reply . thanks for reading
On the topic of footwork can you do a breakdown of the Li Mao/China step/hop and when to incorporate it, I'd also like to see you guys play a game with two (multiple) shuttles simultaneously as more of a fun request!
It’s really bad because I’ve been playing badminton for 9 years now (currently 16 years of age) and I only recently (8 months or so) have been actually starting to train really hard to become really good and since I was self taught for the other 8 years it’s really difficult to unlearn my bad habits. 😭
There is too little on badminton on youtube,even the little content that youtube has almost all content isn't explained in that great detail except yours.😃
Gotcha, i found this hahaha Yes, i have a problem when the opponents give me a lob to a corner of my forehand area, especially when after i cover a mid court area and the opponent get back the shuttle to the corner i just hope it was out hahaha!!! Repetition yes of course also is the key :) Nice video very helpful :)
Watching these videos is so much fun but what is the point if it does not improve the game , I am planning to start from the first video and try to implement 1 by 1
I usualy deal with mental pressure on court and also afraid that if my shot will how correctly or not during the match sometimes it happen my performance is really good but times it goes very poor. Pls help what's the reason behind it Lots of love ❤️❤️
Wow, this really depends! We did a video a few weeks ago about this in the mid-court. If their opponent is taking the shuttle below the height of the net then you would ideally prepare with it higher. In between movement you can afford to have it a little lower - it's easier to move fast like this. Just try to avoid having it too low!!
Cant see anything on youtube for a late forehand flat net shot from back corner, neutral shot. See the pros using it in singles, technique for number 4. Thanks
Sorry, I'm still a little confused. In the split step video, you said that the split step is an anticipation move. Does that mean if I guess wrong, I can't do it? For example, what do I do if my opponent hits it to my back forehand corner, but my split step is with my racket foot forward (the normal ready stance)? Do I push off with my racket foot? Thanks!
Good question! If you do move slightly too early or wrong then yes you need to switch your feet quickly. This might decide which movement you use for the forehand corner, depending how early you will be to the shot!
Will you guys consider doing a giveaway for 100k subscribers? I came across your channel and love the content but cant afford a nicer racket. Sometimes makes me feel like I am missing out while swinging around my brick. Thanks for the presentation
The video is really helpful and on point but I think it would be a waste for people who don't Jump Smash (usually they can't do a deep lunge also). So it may not make much difference for singles player but in a doubles game it is kinda an essential skill.
Excellent video. I think it is worth pointing out that these movements not only need to be relentlessly practiced when a player is learning, but have to be continuously practiced by players throughout their playing career. The movement patterns are very much "received" skills rather than natural movements and I am shocked how quickly they fade for me when I am taking a break from the game, particularly if you are an older player.
hi!! Iam a 14 year old badminton player can i use theraband will it improve my smashes and techniques and also will it effect my height i heard a lot of myths that theraband affects height..
I'm still not clear what's the difference between type 1 (kick-through variation) and type 2. Is it just that in 1 you're behind the shuttle, and in 2 you're not?
We've already covered the round the head movement on are 4 corner footwork video, as well as the detailed backhand movement in our backhand videos! Hope they help 😃
Can't u show footwork video on short player like around 5 feet bcz u people r too tall . It will be good to implement on Short player like me if possible plz upload.

Not all the time but sometimes that is.

Hello sir and mam could you please teach me advance footwork ,shuttle run footwork ,how to do it fast and some tips please it would be a great help
Do reply our comments 🎉
We try our best!
I see some pros (right handed) land on their left foot first instead of landing on both simultaneously. Which is correct?
Both can be done! It depends what position on the court you are 😊
@@BadmintonInsight I’m thinking left rear court double legged jump. Isnt landing on one foot going to stress the achilles more?
Don't you face copyright issues when adding videos from external sources like BWF?
how about back hand rear - court foot work by using overhead shot
Why is it often said that you should do China jump from the forehand corner and scissor-kick from around the head corner?
It's easier and allows you to play better shots is one main reason!
I'm still not clear what's the difference between type 1 (kick-through variation) and type 2. Is it just that in 1 you're behind the shuttle, and in 2 you're not?
Are we going to have a backhand variant?🌚
We've already covered the round the head movement on are 4 corner footwork video, as well as the detailed backhand movement in our backhand videos! Hope they help 😃
