momota is unbelievable at the net but those returns are not impressive. yes they make it over the net but they are hit very high. despite a little action on the shuttle every one of those would be killed in a match. in actual play momota takes the shuttle high and early and repeatedly uses the net to keep his opponent from dictating pace from the back of the court. it's one of the tools he uses to prevent his opponents from playing the game they want to play
ua-cam.com/video/ttEkhHGqJNQ/v-deo.html here's another clip of LCW and Taufik practicing and countering each others tight spinning net shots. Kento vs Greg also ofters insights will have to watch in slow motion.
I have watched a number of v-logs uploaded by players about the All England tournament. Yours is by far, the most enjoyable and educational sharing. A well struck balance of meaningful conversations + analysis, actual tournament experience and match footage. Could also witness how both of you put into actual play, the previous sharing you did about doubles positioning. Wonderful really. As usual, insightful and humorous. Thank you! =)
Oh man, my favorite player. What a rarest view that was! And yes guys, the net exchange was top notch from both sides. Infact I would say a novice won't find it interesting but in fact it was a high skill demonstration from both of you guys.
Hello from Malaysia, just started to follow this channel since yesterday for the tutorial, it blows my mind that both of you are athlete players! Keep up the good work!😊
World #1 celebrated bcos he knew he had a battle on his hands. The length of net rallies were incredible. Very close in the mxd, can only improve from an already good base once you guys play more often together. Great LD match Jenny. Tnx for vid.
First time seeing your channel and I gotta say, I love it especially Kento Momota, one of my favorite badminton players of all time! Really funny when he kept shouting, he so energetic everywhere I watch him!
Aloha Greg and Jen, loved your All England vlog, us mortals only dream of playing in the rarefied climes of such a prestigious tournament. Seeing Greg exchanging net shots with Kento was a treat. You guys played well in the mixed doubles and Jen in the women's doubles. It was so awesome getting to share your experience. Thanks. Take care.
Well played both. Looks like you had a lot of fun .... esp with Momota, how crazy is that! I'm sure it must have been a great experience playing in a Super 1000 🙂👍
Yes it was a lot of fun, especially as All England is one of the best tournaments in the badminton calendar! Fingers crossed the crowd is back next year!
Great vlog! Kento looks very friendly. I'm very surprised to know the drift Jenny were facing during the match. It must have been so tough adjusting. Looking forward to more vlogs.
Yes he was very nice! 😄 And unfortunately yes - it looks like there is now more of a sideways drift yesterday watching some of the matches! Thanks for the support 🤗
@@BadmintonInsight I also heard some places open up their air conditioners or windows to train players for feeling the drift, what do you guys think of that?
Covid has changed the world of sport so much I guess? I cant imagine how different it is to play to an empty hall and lose the amount of energy youd pull from a supportive crowd. That said, thanks for giving us a peek into lives that some of us (me at least) pretend to be living when were on court! Stay safe! Cheers!
How are you guys not suffering muscle fatigue ahead (or during) of the match after all that training? I tend to have a reasonably intense swim beforehand but you guys are insane!
Very bittersweet to watch this perfect Kento Momota sequence after he announced his retirement. :( He has such a good personality. I really miss him a lot!
Great video as always!! Could you please create a video on how to perfect the split step? There are tons of videos out there, but your channel's videos are the most intuitive to me!
Hey guys! You are both lefties!!! Awesome!!! Great playing together, so one is always forehand! You guys were are the all England! Hats off!!! Nice to win but you were there! You are winning!!! Big cheers and jenny I can see your excitement! Thanks for sharing guys!!!
Seeing you guys having fun with other pro players is such a life-affirming feeling ahah. I love seeing the insider stuff in pro badminton. Where do you guys practice? Who decides how much practice time you get? What are pro players doing on the practice courts during/before games? Stuff like that would be really cool. Also more name drops please haha also did wittinghus actually end up getting a fine?
Thank you so much! And great questions - we'll definitely try to keep including as much behind the scenes as possible! Haha, we're not sure! We'll let you know 😜
These vlog videos - great stuff! Hope to see some more in future with you're winning of course! ;-) Really nice to get to the backstage and sneak a peek view of PRO players life and competitions. Cheers!
Great Vlog. Do you write down the things you get from your analysis of future opponents so that you don't forget and that they act as a quick reminder during the warm-up ? PS I thought you were good at the net game but Kento is just FANTASTIC !!!
Thanks Andy! Yes we add all of this to our big list of opponent analysis that we have and then usually talk through our analysis with our lead coach for the match so that he/she can remind us in the warm-up and throughout the match! Should have probably mentioned this in the vlog 😄 He was 🔥🔥🔥 The spin he got on the shuttle whilst being so relaxed is unbelievable
Loved this! would have been good to hear what you noticed about the Malaysians as you went through it. The Momota content was ace though!! Do you normally train with foreign players at a tournament?
Thank you so much David 😊 We didn't want to give too much away about our analysis of them, incase we played them again in the future haha! Not usually but some European countries (England, France, Netherlands and Germany) are starting to try and do this more at tournaments!
I looked up you guys's play.. just so know, I was rooting for you guys! Better luck for the next tournament. Also I can't believe Lee took out both momota and Viktor to secure the men's single title.
You are not the best XD badminton players, but you are one of the happiest couple. Work-Life-Balance enjoy the happening, I love ur gentle smiles, look forward to see your next video.
I saw the women's doubles against Malaysia and thought hey she looks familiar I've seen many training videos on UA-cam before! Great to see u guys on action and all the best for future matches!
Hi Guys.....I watched Jenny's game of Women's Double match on TV the other night...I was rooting for them but unfortunately, they were on the losing side...nevertheless, there's always next time...we see you guys only on UA-cam and to actually witness Jenny play and watching her on TV I had a feeling like my sister was playing. It was a nice feeling. Greg having fun with K Momota must be a high moment....better luck next time.
The purpose of the gym session is just to get the body moving and activated, if there's a bike or something available then we'll use that. We'll also do a more thorough stretch than what we would do as part of our warm-up. The timing is more difficult - if we were playing first thing in the morning we wouldn't do this, however playing late at night like we were just means we're going into the match not feeling like we've just sat down in our hotel room all day and feeling lazy/sluggish!
Great vlog as always. Gonna have to buy astrox 99 momota edition and aurospeed 90K so I can do net play like Kento and Greg haha. If I get a chance to play 3 points net game with you or Greg at the NBC I might grin from ear to ear just like Greg did in this vlog lol. Kento and Marcus in the same vlog...wow 😳👍oh and is that Yamaguchi in that Japan jacket through the stadium door?
That is my match up I am most looking forward to Axelson totally feels like a new player much more explosive in his jumps and movments , Faster and stronger too ,,he could really turn that 14 -1 around in the next couple of years
If hadn’t been for co-vid 19 would the English players been allowed to practice in the main hall to get use to the conditions i.e the drift? I liked the bit in the second vlog how you analyse your opponents. Did Kento give you any tips? Who impressed you most this year? Thanks again for the insight to a tournament 😊
We did get to practice in the main hall the day before play started! We showed a little bit of this in our 1st vlog! He didn't give us any tips no, his English isn't great though! Lee beating Momota was very impressive! Just watching him in the final now! Thanks for the comment :)
Great video, always happy to see other professional players 😊 Never expected you to play versus Momota since I always thought the players usually just practice among their squads. But I guess that makes sense, since some players like Gronya Somerville would have to mix in with some other teams. Well the Japanese definitely have enough people over there though 😂 Judging from their MD Finals today, they might have gotten a little too adjusted since they just keep getting back every single attack 😄
What a crazy but fun week at the All England! We hope you guys enjoyed our Vlog series 😊🎥 Who should our next challenger be...? 🧐
Really enjoyed both of them! I want to see a challenge against Sukamuljo
Haha very ‘fun’ indeed.
You both are so adorable~!! xD
_Also, _*_Malaysian here._*_ People here are obbesed with Badminton xD_
I challenge you. India, jk nagrota Jammu army cantt badminton sports Complex. Basketball and badminton
Kento celebrating after every point was funny
I know 😆😂
Yes😂
I miss him so much omg
Yes 🤣
Yeah.. That is his habit btw 😂
I dont think people realize how good the net play game was from both players.
The amount of spin Kento got on some of those net shots 😱🔥
@@BadmintonInsight Obviously, he is among the top players.
@@aakashdeepgupta5981 They’re acknowledging it smartass
insane control
He is the top player that was already expected
It is unbelievable net skills that Momota is showing in the short clip. How is getting those back from the floor so close to the net?
It was unbelievable! So relaxed and an incredible amount of spin on the shuttle too!

@@rb-ex The rules of this match probably didn't alow for kills that is why he was so relaxed with hight I would imagine.
Had a smile on my face the entire time momota was playing
Haha, so did we 😆
I couldn't stop giggling 🤣

Very bittersweet to watch this perfect Kento Momota sequence after he announced his retirement. :( He has such a good personality. I really miss him a lot!
Us too!!
I know i am 3.years too late and kento just announced his retirement..my favourite part was Jenny giggling during the Kento net match play. 😊
Great video as always!! Could you please create a video on how to perfect the split step? There are tons of videos out there, but your channel's videos are the most intuitive to me!
Thank you very much and thanks for the suggestion!
Well you guys did your homework😂. No worries you’ll do better next time. Also that game with kento was funny XD
Thank you 😊🏸
You guys are great! Good luck fo more victories in the future👍👏

Greig is grinning so much when playing with K Momota ... hilarious... I think that's his high point of the tournament ! Maybe Mr Momota's too! ;-)
Haha, it is definitely up there as a highlight 😆
Best crossover :D Kento is strong

He is! Although he’s struggling at the moment 😢 I was also very happy!
@@BadmintonInsight He's been through a lot and most of us would have given up. All we can do is keep saying がんばって (ganbatte "do your best") to him. 😊

Yeah, he was funny!
Cool to see you playing with Momota! Do you know what shoes he is wearing in the video?
I loved your net game with Kento Momota

Can you guys explain the timing on gym session? What it's for, stretching timing? How to recover after a game
The purpose of the gym session is just to get the body moving and activated, if there's a bike or something available then we'll use that. We'll also do a more thorough stretch than what we would do as part of our warm-up.

Axelson totally feels like a new player much more explosive in his jumps and movments ,
Faster and stronger too ,,he could really turn that 14 -1 around in the next couple of years
@@pragalbhp4328 axelsen play like monster now
Yea me too, but when is the next tournament where they’d both play? By the way, Lee Zii Jia has won the AE.
That was so wholesome to watch
Thank you 😊
Wow , it must be fun to drill with many famous players. Can Momota speak English ? ... Hopefully you guys can participate in next All England .
We hope so too 👍🏼 Haha, unfortunately not - he had a translator!
Jenny is so good tbh. I know she is good, but I just realise that she is awesome.
Haha thank you so much 🤗
I saw Jenny playing in All England and she has crazy defence and placements. Wowwwwwwwww
Congratulations. You played really well
Thank you :)
great job! Thanks for such an interesting video
Thank you! 😄
6:50 u got really powerful eyes.. one day i hope u'll teach me that rock solid defense.... One day🙂
Love you two guys
Great coverage!
Thank you so much :)
Haha happy to see u guys playing with momota💓
Haha we enjoyed it!
Lee zi jia. All england champions. Remember his name.
Sir should i buy an APACS racket plz reply
If hadn’t been for co-vid 19 would the English players been allowed to practice in the main hall to get use to the conditions i.e the drift?
I liked the bit in the second vlog how you analyse your opponents.
Did Kento give you any tips?
Who impressed you most this year?
Thanks again for the insight to a tournament 😊
We did get to practice in the main hall the day before play started! We showed a little bit of this in our 1st vlog!
He didn't give us any tips no, his English isn't great though!
Lee beating Momota was very impressive! Just watching him in the final now!
Thanks for the comment :)
Please Make video on how U and Momota were Playing such good Net cord drop shots.
And very nice vlog,
Best of luck for Future games.

I see many coaches go over the tight net shot from a very low net height. will you guys cover the technique used on it as well?
Great video, always happy to see other professional players 😊
Never expected you to play versus Momota since I always thought the players usually just practice among their squads. But I guess that makes sense, since some players like Gronya Somerville would have to mix in with some other teams. Well the Japanese definitely have enough people over there though 😂
Judging from their MD Finals today, they might have gotten a little too adjusted since they just keep getting back every single attack 😄
Thank you very much 😃 Yeah we train alongside other teams! The Japanese certainly have enough players to train with and what a good MD final it was!
