I have just begun playing, and don't know straight off what a 'net cord' is. When you have a subject of a video, could you please define what it is before you get into it? Even if it's a 'flick serve'.
The other day, I was playing singles. I had watched this video the night before. The game was tense, I had a 19-17 lead, and then my opponent started closing in to make it 19-18. I played this net shot on his serve at this point, achieved a net cord, followed up with a smash on his loose lift from my net cord to make it 20-18 and ended up winning the game. This is a very high-efficiency shot and this channel is the best Badminton channel! Good job folks!
One of my favourite videos from Badminton Insight so far!! Loved the extra 'insight' 😉 from Chris L and the challenge at the end was so good to watch! Keep up the good work
Having or earning skill is great, but sharing those skills to others is excellent work which is doing by you people because your videos are reaching every roots and corners of this world who are eager to learn badminton. Thank you guys. Best of luck.
Loved this one. Having the finesse to topple the shuttle over the cord is yet another reason why this game is so much fun. From explosive smashes to those sweet, gentle cord kisses makes this game so challenging and interesting. Brilliant video.
Chris Langridge a bit mischievous on court but very good of him to make a guest appearance and share his knowledge! Another great video you've put together well done 😃
Best u tube channel I have ever seen.....no tym waste only talking about work.. I suggest ur u tube channel to all my frnds to improve badminton skills... They also subscribed to ur channel❤ Hope u will reach 100 k soon❤good luck!
Thanks for the videos, been improving so much, joined a social badminton club here in Malaysia and am now playing 2x a week and seeing rapid improvements (not hard considering how bad I was)! Hope to see you over in Malaysia soon
Wow you were all so good in the challenge at the end! Some great tips and really complemented the other videos you have done on the channel re using your thumb and fingers to provide control in shots :)
Guys I love your videos so much this is my 3 rd subscription In last 10 years . Well deserved like and subscription…. Hats off to your dedication and hard work .Lots of love from INDIA 😍
great video and discussion of technique. excellent pointer from greg about angle of racket in doubles vs. singles. also note greg and jen have slightly different ways of getting the job done, with jen using her legs more when striking the shuttle. it's a personal preference, but i like using the legs more and arm less, trying to time it as jen pointed out as you are taking the shuttle. it may seem counter-intuitive, but for me relying on the larger leg muscles and minimizing arm movement enhances control and consistency at the net. also, that little extension of the lunge at the point of contact pre-loads your legs for recovery
Yes definitely less arm movement allows for more control! We covered this in a previous video talking about the use of the thumb and fingers to provide control and consistently! Thanks for the comment 😃
Excellent and informative video. After a dependable low serve I would consider the net shot to be the most critical shot in doubles: in men's double it blunts the opponents attacking options, in mixed it can be the most effective way for the woman to avoid being caught forward and horribly exposed to the opposing man's smashes and flat drives.
Another informative video as usual from my favourite badminton pair ;-) I just started learning professional badminton. But I am having problems with my concentration. Some days I just dominate cause I have the concentration. Some other days, not so much. Can you guys give some inside tips as to how professional players like you maintain confidence , composure and concentration on court. Would also love a video on the same in the future. Love from India. ❤️.
This is one of the most difficult shots to execute and to execute so consistently well - shows the practice put! Wow! Wonderful video and tutorial.. when i try this shot during the game - the shuttle ends up falling on the same side of the court 😄.. as they say - Practice makes one perfect! 🏸
0:52 my coach says that you have to do shaft downward like this and you guys are saying to keep it in horizontal position what should i do ??????? please suggest🙏🙏
Hi, Amazing content as always 😊 Is it possible to use the technique for serve return? Especially your comment on keep the racket shaft horizontal vs vertical. Does the shaft orientation impact serve return? Also, could you do a tutorial on how to control the net after returning the serve? Thanks.
Yes it’s possible! You want your racket head to be as high as possible so the server doesn’t easily know you’re hitting a net shot and gambles on this! And thanks for the suggestion 👍🏼
Hi Jenny.. where are you trying to aim the bird to at the net? Like the topmost point of the net or somewhere else? A side view of the same shot would help understand better
Can you also add a short segment of 30s or so on every video as to how different the dynamics is with a nylon shuttlecock? Most amateurs/casual club players like me play on those on almost a regular basis and will find that helpful..thanks for what you do to the community guys, cheers!!!
Thanks for the comment! Yes some dynamics might be slightly different but mainly the same, it's a good point you raise! We find nylon shuttles to be a little faster so maybe even more need to get the attack! 😃
Gr8 content and video Which racket do you prefer, the astrox 100zz or astrox 99 (I know you guys are sponsored by victor, sorry) I look for head heavy, not too much head heavy, also it shud be lightweight, any gud rackets from Victor?
Thank you Nihal! 😊 I (Jenny) have never tried either the 100ZZ or 99, but we use the Victor Auraspeed 90K and Thruster BXR and both love them 🔥🏸 The Thruster BXR is a more head-heavy racket!
What are the racquets you are using at this time?. . In this double video of net shots what was all.3 of you using with tension and what not as I did see a big difference in grips and brands.
I (Jenny) am using the Victor Thruster BXR strung with VBS-68 at 29lbs! Greg is using the Victor Auraspeed 90K strung with VBS-66 at 30lbs! And Lango is using a Gosen racket, I'm not sure of the strings or tension though!
Interesting point with horizontal shaft, I think having more horizontal shaft also lets you play cross netshots easily with more forearm rotation and less weird wrist movement, is that right? :)
Hello I have a question: In a doubles game can a player start an underhand serve with a quick motion and then slow the motion down, still moving in the forward direction.?
I love this shot in double, so much control and satisfaction to get the front court from your opponents ! Do you think it could be proper/wise to play it in single or is it to "risky" ?
We do too! Yes quite risky in singles as you are pushing the shuttle more into court, in singles we would play a shot with some more height and angle. We will do a video on this on the channel in the future :)
String tension is really important for this shot. Low tension will bounce off the shuttle way up the net, giving your opponent an opportunity to kill it. Go for higher tension (> 28 lbs) for better control and feel. And please practice with feather shuttles. With nylon shuttle, this shot does not make any sense. Awesome video, as usual.
I've been practicing my net shots, but how do I improve it so that the shuttle wobbles when I hit it and it crosses over the net just like how Jenny does it beautifully? It would be helpful if you guys gave a tutorial for it!!
really wish i could do some feeds with my partner but feeding is not allowed in the club i go to as it is seen as unsolicited coaching. all we can do is rallies. and not sure how to improve quicker with that. :(

Tennis really is a game for the lifetime, thank you so much to help me improve my tennis.
Great video. Do you have a video on returning a drop shot ? Specially in the middle of the court ? Thanks
Love from Malaysia! Thank you for the detailed tips :D
You're welcome :D
Hello Greg and Jenny. First of all great videos. Loving it. Question : is it just a backhand shot in doubles?
No dislike till now.... Wowwww BADMINTON 🏸 INSIGHT 😁😁😘😘
😯😅😆
Excellent and informative video.

Thank you very much 😃 It's definitely important you're right!
What a video! Awesome. Very good and entertaining.
Thanks a lot 😀
Wow.. actually got tips from Chris L himself. that man is awesome
We agree! 😁 Very knowledgable and more than happy to share his knowledge & experience! 👍🏼🔥
Great consistency in making the net cord shots.
Thanks!!
Great video 😁👍🏻

Thank you very much Rohan and thanks for the suggestion!
Quality video again. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Best video for net cord drop shots.....
Thanks for video.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😃 You're very welcome 😊
Great explanation like usual! Could you explain the elbow positioning while executing the net cord?
Hi Greg & Jenny, Whilst playing the net shot are you slicing the shuttle slightly or is it just hitting the shuttle pls?
Hi Darren! You don't really slice it, more 'pushing' it! Hope that makes sense? 😊
Nice! Will try this thanks
You're welcome! Enjoy :)
Heyy nicee videooo.
Pls make a video on elbow and wrist strengthening as it always pains when i play a lot.
Thanksss for awesome content.
Thank you very much Darsh 😄 And thanks for the suggestion!

Yes the top most point! 😃
Talented net plays wow, practice makes perfect.
It sure does!!
Thanks guys great job..
Thanks for watching!
V nice demo. I thaught Jeny will be the eventual winner but Greg took the lead👍
Haha thanks Khan!
Thanks 👍
We are learning
Good to hear! 😄🏸
It's easy to see when u perform this shot but it's really tough during the game thanks for ur advice guys...
Keep practicing it and you'll definitely get there 👍🏼
Great video, thanks!
Glad you liked it! 😊
Thank you it really useful
Glad to hear that! 😀

@@BadmintonInsight Oh thanks a lot
I'll be sure to check out them!
hey i got a question are you slicing the shuttle whilst keeping the racquet horizontal
I will show this exellent net practice to kids players.
This is the practice they can try in their age.
Please do! Thank you 😃
What are the racquets you are using at this time?. . In this double video of net shots what was all.3 of you using with tension and what not as I did see a big difference in grips and brands.

Now this is gonna help it seems ☺️
😄🏸🔥
THANK YOU ❤️
Love your video
I've always wanted to learn this thank you!! I guess net cords aren't always luck then 😁
Most of the time no, especially not at the net! Maybe if you’ve hit a backhand cross court smash net cord winner... that’s probably a bit of luck 🤣
Interesting point with horizontal shaft, I think having more horizontal shaft also lets you play cross netshots easily with more forearm rotation and less weird wrist movement, is that right? :)
Yes definitely! :)
Hello I have a question: In a doubles game can a player start an underhand serve with a quick motion and then slow the motion down, still moving in the forward direction.?
Yes - as long as it is a continuous motion!
Thank you
You're very welcome! 😃

New badminton knowledge
Great to hear! 😃
Hello, is this the same technique as when pros turn a serve with a spinning net shot?
Similar!
Do a video also on the how to counter attack these drop shots in front of net
Hi G&J
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
You're welcome!
My coach 😍😍😍😍😍😍
☺️🏸
@@BadmintonInsight 🥰🥰🙌🏻🙌🏻
How about cross net? Is it recommended for doubles?
Yes of course Jerry! We showed this in 1 clip in the video and may do a future video on it 😃
Practice makes a skill perfect.
I got 1/10 net chord, thanks guys cheers
Hahaa the more you practice the better you'll get 💪
you Guys are excellent 👍👍
Thanks 😃
Hi Jenny may I know what shoes are u wearing? I like the all white shoes thing
They are the VICTOR P9200TD A :)
String tension is really important for this shot. Low tension will bounce off the shuttle way up the net, giving your opponent an opportunity to kill it. Go for higher tension (> 28 lbs) for better control and feel. And please practice with feather shuttles. With nylon shuttle, this shot does not make any sense.
Awesome video, as usual.
Thank you for the comment! Yes a higher string tension will help, as well as feather shuttles :)
but feather shuttles are not really accessible and also my bat is strung at 26 lbs and it is a big problem if i dont hit the shuttle at the sweet spot
I've been practicing my net shots, but how do I improve it so that the shuttle wobbles when I hit it and it crosses over the net just like how Jenny does it beautifully? It would be helpful if you guys gave a tutorial for it!!
