"don't always STICK to this shot. You need to BRANCH out". Clever 😂

I missed so much training due to injuries but thanks to you guys I'm still learning ❤

I'm relatively new to badminton and i really find all your videos very fun and engaging! Keep up the good work! :)

Excellent and concise instruction, as usual. Great comeback in Spain following a difficult first game against the Danes. Solid advice from Anthony Clark regarding keeping Mathias out of those attacking mid-court positions he absolutely loves, and it certainly showed in that second game.

hey jenny and greg, thank you for giving us lots of tutorials! i really had improved after watching the two of you! ❤

Great structure on how you explain and demonstrate. Good for players new to the sport, like me. Fun to watch too, thank you! Great to watch your matches in Madrid, congratulations!

this is one of my favorite shots because its easy to follow up when its hit clean never formally learned badminton, picked up tricks like these from playing often enough with friends and playing with better opponents .. wish i had all these videos to learn from when i started, wouldve progressed so much faster lol

crazy accurate stick shot there in the intro, greg! loved the vid

Your videos are very helpful And u also explain them very systematic way easy way due to which it is very easy to understand and implement it in my game Your videos are helping me to improve my game and I now have become confident with my strokes Keep posting!!!!

Congratulations. Your camera work and editing has improved dramatically. I can just imagine how much time it takes to make those overlays. But they are so well illustrates the point. Respect and admiration. Thank you for your efforts

Hi Greg and Jenny , I’m your fan from India , thanks a lot for uploading such amazing videos . I was able to improve a lot just by your videos . Your videos are up to the point and amazing , thanks a lot

Great video! I have been watching badminton for many years and I have realized that in particular, Lin dan's stick smash and cross court smash, especially from the forehand, seems to be slightly steeper and more powerful than most. Can you guys do a video on why this may be so?

Too good. Thank you soo much you guys. You never disappoint us 😄💯

Thanks for another great video. The production quality was excellent.

I have been training 🏸 for 7 years and this channel has really helped me! Thx SUBSCRIBE 😊

chortled at your surprise when you actually hit the shuttle with the stick! Lacking power in my full smash, I've always found the stick smash /punch clear combo useful. Glad to find I got that bit right!

I saw you Spain masters quarter final match. It was amazing ❤️ Waiting for the vlog :)

I hope you guys would come to singapore soon! I rlly wanna meet u guys in person

i always wait until you upload a vide. i love all of you tip's and tricks. and i love your vlogs😊

awesome tips as always guys. since it is ramadan, my usual team has stopped playing for the month, so i'll just be taking notes for now and use it later when we resumed playing again 😁

Great video, always good to build up on my badminton armoury knowledge from you guys. All I need now is to execute them on court :-). Well played in Spain and good luck next week !!

thanks for your videos it helped me improve so much❤

Great tips! Can't wait to try it on my next session. Thank you!

Thanks for the tutorial guys!!😊 I am now just waiting for analysis video to see. I hope I am there😅

Favourite shot of lee zii jia❤

Love seeing you guys playing against top competition all the time these days. Thanks for another great tip video here

I don't play badminton at competitive level but these videos definitely keep me ahead from others in the game at some point Thanks a ton for the great videos!!!

Great video as usual. I know you guys have already done some videos on footwork, but i do think it'd be a great idea to make a video which covers everything there is to know about footwork.I assume it'd be a very long video since there is a lot to know. This such an important part of the game, and despite being able to find separate videos about footwork, i couldn't find one which covers it all. Also, you did really good at the spanish open, well played. Looking forward to see you play at the orlean open! Cheers 💚

Hi, and thanks for the exellent content. I really enjoy your channel! I would love to hear your take on the speed of shuttles, particularly in a tournament setting. The reason I ask, is because after many years of recreational play, my partner and I recently started taking our doubles game to a more serious level, so we started participating in club tournaments. When we play practice matches, we use cheaper shuttles of varying quality, which usually (~80% of the time) results in us having to add weight to the head of the shuttle in the form of blue-tac in order for our underhand test-strokes to reach near the doubles service line, as specified by the rules. We opted for this solution thinking that we would be training ourselves to play with shuttles of proper-ish speed without breaking the bank. However when we play in our club tournaments, the rules specify that we should play with the shuttles that the club stocks in their refrigerator, which are the Victor smash it #1's. While these are expensive high-quality shuttles (atleast by our standards), no official testing has ever taken place, and it seems like my partner and I are the only ones concerned with the slowness of the shuttles during play. It feels like there's almost no danger of ever hitting any shot too long. So my question is as follows: how does this work in pro level tournaments? You mentioned that Greg got to test the shuttles at one point in your "Malaysia Open 2023 behind the scenes" video; I would love to learn more. My reasoning is that: given that there is variance in the skill and power levels of individual players (particularly at the lower club levels), one could make the argument that there is a lot of subjectivity when it comes to testing shuttles. - For example, as a mediocre club player, how can I be sure that it really is the shuttle, and not the quality of my under-arm stroke that is at fault? Being used to "correct speed shuttles" (for me anyway) I struggle a lot with the timing of my shots when I play with slower shuttles, and make easy mistakes because my reflexes and muscle memory is incorrectly tuned. - Is this something that I just need to learn to deal with? - What if I now learn to play with slower shuttles, and then eventually enter a higher-level tournament where the shuttles are of "correct" speed? - Again I would be out of my comfort zone. For what it's worth, I tried reading up on the topic, but there is very little literature around this. The only corroborating sources I found were written by a British coach named Paul Stewart.

your content has helped me very much Thanku

i always thought this is something like a late-to-the-shuttle kind of smash variety, but apparently not and much more complex than that. thanks for the tutorial!

Hello Greg and Jenny, i just started subscribe this channel, because i Saw so many knowledge about badminton in here. Btw, im from Indonesia and started like your performance and maybe be your fans😂. Idk why, i just like it. After Ellis and Smith rarely played, I started to see you guys, I wish you a brilliant career in the future.

Lzj favorite 😍 my favorite video so far!

Greg and jenny thanks for all these tutorials it helped me and others alot ❤

I love the content you both are giving us

Congrats ✨️ Great week in madrid masters🎉

Well done in Madrid.

Another great video. Thank you

thank you friend for the technique provided.

Hey! That’s my comment in the video! Thank you!! I’ve been waiting for this!!

It’s such a good advice for me to improve my game. Thanks very much for making this video. By the way, congrats on your semifinal result in Madrid and good luck on next week’s tournament in France. Hope you go as far as possible.

good progress in Spain, congrats!

I was surprised to know that the elbow stops in the movement, I have been doing it wrong all along. Great explanation and examples to help the content stick 😉

Nice pun hehe. I never realized this was called a stick smash, but now that I know the theory behind how they’re different, I can try to consciously incorporate it into my game a bit more ☺️ That cross-court stick smash especially looks sick!

Thanks guys for another great video. You make learning badminton so easy! It would be a great help for many beginner & intermediate level players on how to hit "round the head" shots. I am always late and have to resort to a weak backhand clear instead and lose the rally.

I’m trying this on my next training, thanks both of you

Very nice video and also congrats for making it to Spain masters finals🎉🎉

Awesome Videos, Keep It Up!

Need to try this out.

Nice to see your still doing videos. Not playing at the moment as mate has injury and it be few months😢. But the videos keep me going. Mind you i would prob do better with that stick😂. Saw your match in semi. Good progress realy but sorry for your loss. I think they moved the lines for them. And what was with the hulk the other side?...to much danish pastry i think. Whats your nxt tournament?. Good luck and look forward for nxt video.

I just joined badminton and i have my first tournament on Monday. As a teenager ,ur videos help me a lot. Can u pls make a video abt how to play against older players(seniors)?I appreciate it .❤❤

Congrats on the WIN!

Hey guys I was wondering if you could make a video on how one can manage themselves better as an independent player? I recently attended tryouts for a team and didn't make the cut, but I still want to compete. However, I'm unsure how to go about things. How do I know what to work on, which tournaments to join, things like that. A few tips would be really appreciated! With that being said, great work on the video as always!

Finally! I've been wanting to find a good stick smash tutorial for a long time. Thanks so much!!

You guys are insane, love you

Good video as always well played on the Madrid open

Best channel ever

Hey thanks for the video 😊

Thanks for this tutorial 😊

thank u so much

Hi great video absolutely loved it, just a quick perhaps unrelated question does changing to a thicker racket grip cause issues in the wrist? ive recently changed to one and wrist pain has started thought id ask the pros.

Awesome video as usual

Great video, I would like to ask , in this stick smash, the main power is from forearm rotation, or from squeezing of fingers, or a bit of both ?

good job on the Span Masters ❤

Thanks for this tutorial! Would this technique give you tennis elbow quicker since the stroke doesn’t follow through to the other side of your body?

Hard luck in Spain, I reckon you've got the measure of your opponents, you'll get them next time! Also, some of the defence you played was off the scale - amazing! What was the conversation with the umpire near the start and the opponents at the end about? I guessed the shuttle speed had been changed?

Thank you guyss

Thanks

Hey Greg and Jenny? This time you guys won’t make a video of Spain tour ??? I was eagerly waiting for that!!!

Hi Greg and Jenny, i've started coaching 2 months ago and currently have been training 2 students, currently i can't help them improve that much because i don't have the equipments necessary to help them improve, can i do it without the equipments? or is there an alternate/temporary way of coaching them?

Congratulations on the 1st place in the Bundesliga with your team in Wipperfeld and good luck in Final Four! 💪🏿💪🏿

i watch so much of your videos my coach said i was the best he ever saw at my age

awesome

3:09 this was amazing. Merging the videos is a great visualisation.

Mantap...👌👍

Hi Greg , my coach told me that i lack of flexibility in my swinging action, even tho my technique is quite good but my swinging motion is kinda stiff, would be happy for a advice 😊

I watdhed your match it was very interesting i know you will win next time

Can you please come out with a video explaining how players are choose to participate in bwf tournaments like the super series and international series..thank-you 🎉❤

I just started badminton, and I'm slow on the court. Its been almost 2 weeks since I started, and my shoulder hurts when I try to smash, and knees hurt after games. I don't know the proper cooldown and warmup. My ankle also hurts and player say body is rigid sometimes and there's no power in shots. HOW DO I IMPROVEEE

3:18 nice edit!

Well played in the Spain masters Still gono root for you in Malaysia

This is my favorite smash when try to aiming opponent weakness point

Congrats on semi finalist idols 😇

This shot has probably garnered the most points ever in badminton history.

Do Slice Smash please...and congrats on sf in madrid

Interesting

You hit the shuttle with the stick on first take??? Where are the outtakes? :) Great video once again! There's a new wave videos on this spinning serve, I'm sure it'll get banned but are you guys going to cover it? (exciting times!)

I'd never heard of the 'Stick Smash'! Thanks guys

thanks

I want to come to uk n practice with u guys

Great video. My problem is exactly the last point you mentioned. I tried stick smash so much that now it has become muscle memory and I cant hit proper smash these days with full body rotation. 🤦‍♂

Good start to your next tournament. 2nd game was interesting. 😮. I know tv doesnt do the games justice at times. But the last two tournaments . It looks like your playing in a gym with no crowd. How is that to play in compared to birmingham etc?. Such a shame badminton doesnt get the same hype as tennis.....which i find hard to watch. Anyway good luck next match.

Nice stick video

I'm gonna learn this if we have practice

hi guys can you please do a video or short about the correct racquet swing technique and how to implement it on court

Pls do a video on half power smash

Can you do a breakdown on Koki Watanabe’s England Open run? Dude is a giant killer. Think it will help your fans who are not that tall. ❤️

amazing spain open.

Hey Guys! Are you guys going to upload a vlog on the Rest of the European leg?

Are you guys gonna do a video on the Spain masters?:)
