for everyone wondering what racket greg is holding, that's actually the Victor DriveX 10 Metallic. Took awhile to find out what model it was, but I still got it in the end. Great video by the way, keep it up!
Probably the best video in playing doubles! And much needed as most front court players don’t know what to do or how to intercept well. At last we have a good video from the professionals like Badminton Insight!🙏👏
Thank you for all your hard work in creating these video’s. I love the in dept explanations and the structure of the video’s. I can imagine the difficulties to create these content while being active on tour. Also love the behind the scene videos during tournaments, where we can see other perspectives of the pro players off court.
watching two world class players who are also in a committed relationship act like the most uncoordinated and toxic mixed doubles pair for the sake of demonstration will always be funny to me lmao
you dipstick,.. these two are the best combination I have ever seen on court, being in a relationship is completely irrelevant, you need to pull your head in and learn something, these guys are brilliant, @@wakeup7157
thank you greg and jenny for making such wonderful videos.. they are really engaging and easy to follow..ideal for us learn-by-yourself players..keep up the good work!👏👏👏
- Can you go into detail about back-court movement in doubles? In particular Receiving a service-return drive or aggressive lift (especially to backhand sides). What grip do we use to make these shots, how is the stroke properly performed (biomechanics), and what's the form for the lateral footwork movement (e.g. side to side jump intercept; it'd be helpful if you can show how we're supposed to land without putting too much strain on our joints.)
Congrats on your incredible success with your channel, that really is a remarkable achievement and makes you best in class on TH-cam I think! It's to your credit that you keep coming up with videos that are relevant to your audience, this one is fantastic!
Another excellent series of explanations 👍👍👍 Yes, standing too close to the net is definitely one the most common issues with the front player. Congratulations on hitting the 400k subscriber mark. Recalling the earlier days of badminton + evening jobs to keep yourselves going; it is a pity the sport struggles to attract higher levels of sponsorship and consequently player funding in England.
Another really great, in depth video! I am not good enough at the sport to take all the tips in at once so am greatful for this content being available for me to revisit and work through one step at a time. Thank you again! ❤
Much appreciated from a badminton coach at a secondary school, where 99% of the players have never played the sport. How would you start a program for teens new to sport? What drills to use and how to structure a practice?
thanks for all the videos ! I have a question : in an attack position, where the net player stand if the shuttle is lift to the middle of the back court ?
This video on Interception is excellent. What is difficult is there are many complex skills to be put at use n therfore each of those need to be mastered, One at a Time n hopefully learn All with good synchronization. Good Luck! * I intercept; making sure my elbows are high and as fixed as possible; only allowing my forehand & wrist to fo the interception- as there may be a need for multi inception to Win.
this video came just about time for me to practice more on playing front court! Thanks! Following up question, how about to really understand your partner in social game? as we always changing our partners
Great Video as always! Just what I've been looking for. My question is: "If you were coaching adults who are picking up the sport of badminton for the first time, what would be some of your best pieces of advice be? Would the advice change depending on the age of the adult, their goals, and which speciality of badminton they prefer?" Personally I'm 36, and I've been playing for 2.5 years. I wish I had someone who understands the difficulties of picking up a complex and demanding sport like myself at an older age and had practical tips. I'm realistic that I'm not as fast or as strong as I use to be, so my focus in the game probably should be slightly elsewhere.
Thanks for the great video. One quick question. For the person stand in front, you recommend to hit using the forehand grip as opposed to the backhand grip. Is there a senario you would use the backhand grip?
Not sure if this has been answered before, but would like to know what's you guys' training routine and workout split for a whole week? Or even month? For example, what days do you guys usually hit the gym / train badminton / do cardio, and how many times?, etc. Thanks!
just wanted to say right off the top that your videos are great, helpful and engaging. My question is , what weight are your rackets and how tight are your strings? Cheers
Hi Greg & Jenny, I cannot thank you enough for this video cuz I like to play frontcourt and I'm always confused as to where I should stand. You explain so clearly in this video so hope to play better next time in the game. Since you said to ask questions this is my question. Now, you're enjoying marital bliss, (1) How soon can we expect junior Greg & Jenny??? (2) Where did you go for your "Honeymoon"??
I have been watching you for a year i think that Greg and Jenney proceed with excellent content which I really love because as a badminton player that's my hobby
Hey hoping this gets answered in the QnA or whenever. I noticed in some videos you are using a towel grip and others like this video you're using a basic overgrip. Do you guys have any preferences or what are the pros and cons of the different types of grips? Do you use cushion wrap underneath the grip or do you use two layers of overgrip for cushioning etc. Do you use diff grips depending on whether you are using a wooden handle or free-core handle? Maybe you can make a youtube shorts on how you both personally grip your rackets. Anyways thanks for the videos and congratulations on 400k subs
This really gives me an insight into what I had been doing wrong while intercepting. Thanks and congrats for 400k :). My question would be : How can we judge if a flick serve is going out or not as I keep misjudging them thinking it's going out. Thanks.
I was always the one just standing in the middle waiting for a lift to separate out to one side of the court and start playing. Thanks greg and jenny ❤️ congrats on hitting 400k subs 👏
You guys read my mind. I just played and had this specific question! Thanks so much. My question is there a particular rule to who cover the front when you are playing doubles? I play with two different groups and the better group always expects me to cover my half of the court whether playing a smash or a drop. And everyone else tell me if I am attacking from the backcourt - smash or drop or drive and the our opponents drop it to myself of the court - my partner has to cover the front while I cover the back. I hope this is clear?! Long story short - is the right answer ‘it depends’? Is it something you have to discuss with different partners? Thanks for the amazing videos! 🙏❤️
Firstly, thanks for the numerous tutorials that you've shared with the community. Q: How would you approach a match where you do not have enough data (like gameplay, strengths and weaknesses) of your opponents? Also, would like to request you to put up more videos on newer methods to improve physical fitness and bodily parameters like mobility, endurance and strength
Congrats on 400K! I will definitely come back to this one a few times, as there is a lot I can learn from it, especially as playing up the font is my least favorite place to play.
I learned a lot from these amazing tips! Thanks a lot! Can I ask two questions please? 1. What are the sweet spots to attack the opponent when you intercept the shots as a front court player? Especially when the rally is so fast and you don't have time to think. 2. What are the strategies to counter attack when you are under pressure?
Thank you a lot for all of those tips. For me, this phrase "To intercept or not" was a bit missleading, I was expecting to learn when to skip the shuttle and when to intercept. Anyway, thank you again. Awsome guidline!
As usual a great video and addresses one of the most common yet crucial question in doubles! My question is is a bit specific and tactical: What is the correct approach in doubles when one player plays a tight drop shot from the back court to the same side as they are and the opponent responds with a net drop as well? Who should take that return drop? Should the player from the back court come forward as it is on the same side of the court or should the other player who is likely in the mid-center court take it?
Congratulations for achieving 400k, and thanks for making such informative and detailed videos. My question , as a badminton player , who is suffering from shoulder , elbow and wrist injuries simultaneously 😂 , is , please make some videos to address injuries in badminton. It will help thousands like me.
Could you share insights into how professional badminton players typically structure their training on a weekly basis? Curious about how they balance tactics, technique, matches, 2v1, 2v2, speed, gym, and stamina etc. workouts throughout the week.
Congrats on the 400k, my question is how to practice the jump smash and especially the jumping motion in it. Will definitely help with deceptive shots as well as the jump smash. Videos are really helpful and allowed me to improve on certain things in badminton . Thx
I love your videos and I am learning something every time. I like it when you add some real match clips on how the technique looks in a match. But I sometimes struggle to understand to who to focus on. Resulting to rewind the video to get the point. Perhaps a tip to give a bit more context would help. Eg focus on name of the player on at the net on the far side. Anyway keep up the great work!
Thanks for giving knowledge to us about badminton im playing from japan u16 its all about your video thank you very much please continue uploading more videos ❤❤
It's a big accomplishment. Congratulations. I'm also looking forward to seeing a new tutorial and shot breakdown video. Also, it's lovely to see you play on the European circuit. I wish you all the success and happiness. Love from India♥️
Congratulations on your achievement 👏 We love your channel and eagerly look forward to the videos. We have a 12 year old enthusiastic badminton player who is keen on becoming the best he can. Can you share your story of your early development in the sport? How you trained, focus areas, handling pressure at that age and how coaches/parents can support? You both are a huge inspiration and we would love to get more insight in this topic❤Thanks from Norway. From Leo (12 years) and parents❤
Q&A Question; When did you start playing badminton and when did you both realise this was something you could take on as a career? Keep up the great content!
Hi. It has always been a pleasure to watch your videos. My question is, when I play social games (doubles), I see only 2 out of 10 people calling out if the shuttle is going out. Can you please suggest how important and impactful it is for the partner to give a call if the shuttle is out or in during the game. Thanks Karthik
I have been waiting for the interception topics! Thank you! As a giveaway, i think it would be great if is racket + racket bag / sleeve with both of your signature!
Thank you so so much! Amazing video for every doubles player, who is looking to improve positioning, tactics and off course the overall quality of their game!
Congratulations on making 400,000 subscribers. You two really deserve it., My question is how do I stop myself from just stopping after I make a shot. Sometimes I think the rally is over and just stand there like we already won the rally. Maybe I am just lazy?
This is really good 👍 have not seen any other video that talk about intercepting, which is very important for doubles . Keep up the great work for 500k next 💪
Great video once again! Congrats on 400k! Question on the video.. If your partner is in trouble at the back you mention to feint to cross court catches, but more often than not wouldn't the straight drop/net return be more difficult to catch? Wouldn't it be also easier for the opponents to play a straight net after the smash than a cross lift? I have trouble catching the crosses in this scenario but would rather they run like tennis player and whips a drivelift or lift, than me lifting a net return..?
Thanks Greg & Jenny for the amazing video and congrats on reaching more than 400k subscribers!! 🔥 As for a question, how about shot selection when intercepting? I know there isn't a single answer, but how about certain guidelines on when to attack via acceleration (try to kill or push) and when to e.g. drop?
Thank you so much Carlos 😁 It depends on your positioning - if you are in a really good position then usually adding power into the shot will be a good choice (but if your opponents don't have great movement & they are stood really far back then you could also add some soft 'stop offs' that land around the service line). But as a rule of thumb, good position & taking the shuttle in front of you = hard shot... taking the shuttle in line with you = softer shot. Hope that helps!
First, congratulations on 400k subs! What a milestone! Second, thank you so much for this video!! I say this all the time but it seems like every time I feel like I need to work on a certain thing, you share a video on it. Lol I really appreciate the tips. Keep up the amazing work. Btw, Greg, I see that you’re holding the new Thruster Ryuga Metallic in your hand!! Are you’re moving on from the Thruster F Enhanced Racket?!!
Great vid guys, just wanted to know how you guys deal with losses and how you face opponents you think you have no chance of winning against, realistically just because they have years more experience and better skill. I've always lost games against my friends and even though we play for fun I'm still trying my best so it will start to get to me. Thanks guys
Very helpful tips, there are numerous times where I feel stranded at the front waiting for a chance to intercept the shot and not being successful. I really liked the positioning tips as well depending on what shot your partner plays. Great video 👍🏽. My question for the Q&A is how do you both get out of a slump, are there days where you feel off and out of sync?
Congratulations on 400k, my question is: In Doubles, when flick serving and as the server, how to make the split second decision as to whether to immediately move back to side to side, to stay up front, or to wait before deciding where to go? I often default to going side to side immediately because I am wary of the fastest shot (smash) they may do. But then often they do straight drop shot, and my teammate would not be ready to get it, or even if they get it, it would not give us an advantage.
Thank you for covering all the little details in playing badminton. You two put all your professional experience and effort into making these instints into lessons for newbie like me to understand. Really appreciate that. I'm your fc in Thailand and congratulations on having 400k subscibers 🎉🎉🎉
Great video thank you a lot. For the Q&A i would be intrested how you would bring your mind back during the match when you - lost several points and the opponent is in a great mindset and hits everything - you miss multiple times the line or it just went in the net and you get frustrated - you did nothing wrong but it just doesn't work out at the end - you feel that your body is out of stamina and your shots lose accuracy - your back down some points and want to come back but make more mistakes Something in this direction Thanks a lot ❤
You guys are amazing! I've enjoyed each and every video you posted and also signed up on Patreon! The most interesting video I've found on your channel would probably the "How to read the game". Could you talk more about shot selection and strategy as a doubles player?
love your video as always and congrats for the 400k subs! I am a newcomer in badminton and eager to learn proper techniques & skills, one question for you two, could you explain how to assess our skill level whether at beginner, intermediate , and advance / professional? hope you could answer this one on the next vid!
Amazing guys. Keep rocking. I have a suggestion. In fact, a request. I am not a Badminton professional, but playing it for mere enjoyment. I can only spend 60-90 mins a day, playing with my friends. We can not afford time for practice, as the priority is to have fun, play game. Given that scenario, I still would love to improve my badminton skill. Can you suggest a practice that can I can do as playing a game? For example, to improve my drops, you can suggest that in certain games I only play drop. It would be really great if you recommend something like that. It is like taking a medicine, and also enjoying its taste and texture. You can even call it "Gamified Practices".
for everyone wondering what racket greg is holding, that's actually the Victor DriveX 10 Metallic. Took awhile to find out what model it was, but I still got it in the end. Great video by the way, keep it up!
Haha, thanks Ronnie 😁

i am watching ur vids for about 6 months and i have improved drastically thank u
Amazing to hear 🤩
I have been struggling to find answers on such specific moments for so long. Thank you so much !❤
Happy we could help 😁
Your lessons are excelent especialy for the doubles disciplines
Thank you so much, glad you enjoy them 🙏🏼😃
Excellent work guys. I've been playing for 45 yrs +, and I'm still learning the dark arts.
Congratulations on reaching 400k!! Love your videos.
Thank you so much!!
Much appreciated from a badminton coach at a secondary school, where 99% of the players have never played the sport. How would you start a program for teens new to sport? What drills to use and how to structure a practice?
thanks for all the videos ! I have a question : in an attack position, where the net player stand if the shuttle is lift to the middle of the back court ?
This video on Interception is excellent. What is difficult is there are many complex skills to be put at use n therfore each of those need to be mastered, One at a Time n hopefully learn All with good synchronization.
Good Luck!
* I intercept; making sure my elbows are high and as fixed as possible; only allowing my forehand & wrist to fo the interception- as there may be a need for multi inception to Win.
this video came just about time for me to practice more on playing front court! Thanks!
Following up question, how about to really understand your partner in social game? as we always changing our partners
I’m sick again and have exams today! Can’t play badminton, but learnt a lot from this video
Oh no, hope you feel better soon & good luck with your exams! 🙏🏼

Hey hoping this gets answered in the QnA or whenever.
I noticed in some videos you are using a towel grip and others like this video you're using a basic overgrip. Do you guys have any preferences or what are the pros and cons of the different types of grips? Do you use cushion wrap underneath the grip or do you use two layers of overgrip for cushioning etc. Do you use diff grips depending on whether you are using a wooden handle or free-core handle? Maybe you can make a youtube shorts on how you both personally grip your rackets.

So informative, interception is such a key to win a point and also take load of your partner. Great video
Thank you 😁
Great video. What do you think about the environmental and ethical concerns regarding feather shuttles?
As usual a great video and addresses one of the most common yet crucial question in doubles!
My question is is a bit specific and tactical:
What is the correct approach in doubles when one player plays a tight drop shot from the back court to the same side as they are and the opponent responds with a net drop as well? Who should take that return drop? Should the player from the back court come forward as it is on the same side of the court or should the other player who is likely in the mid-center court take it?
Thanks 😃 the player at the net should probably take it! It’s a long way for the rear court player playing the drop to move!

As for a question, how about shot selection when intercepting? I know there isn't a single answer, but how about certain guidelines on when to attack via acceleration (try to kill or push) and when to e.g. drop?
Thank you so much Carlos 😁 It depends on your positioning - if you are in a really good position then usually adding power into the shot will be a good choice (but if your opponents don't have great movement & they are stood really far back then you could also add some soft 'stop offs' that land around the service line). But as a rule of thumb, good position & taking the shuttle in front of you = hard shot... taking the shuttle in line with you = softer shot. Hope that helps!
@@BadmintonInsightThank you! It definitely does 😁. I'll keep in mind the service line for the softer shots 🏸🔥
First, congratulations on 400k subs! What a milestone! Second, thank you so much for this video!! I say this all the time but it seems like every time I feel like I need to work on a certain thing, you share a video on it. Lol I really appreciate the tips. Keep up the amazing work.
Btw, Greg, I see that you’re holding the new Thruster Ryuga Metallic in your hand!! Are you’re moving on from the Thruster F Enhanced Racket?!!
Thank you! This is one of those things that need coordination and is sometimes not discussed in detail during training.
Definitely yes, it'll take practice!
Great vid guys, just wanted to know how you guys deal with losses and how you face opponents you think you have no chance of winning against, realistically just because they have years more experience and better skill. I've always lost games against my friends and even though we play for fun I'm still trying my best so it will start to get to me. Thanks guys
Very helpful tips, there are numerous times where I feel stranded at the front waiting for a chance to intercept the shot and not being successful. I really liked the positioning tips as well depending on what shot your partner plays. Great video 👍🏽. My question for the Q&A is how do you both get out of a slump, are there days where you feel off and out of sync?
Thanks a lot - happy to hear we could help 😊
Congratulations on 400k, my question is: In Doubles, when flick serving and as the server, how to make the split second decision as to whether to immediately move back to side to side, to stay up front, or to wait before deciding where to go? I often default to going side to side immediately because I am wary of the fastest shot (smash) they may do. But then often they do straight drop shot, and my teammate would not be ready to get it, or even if they get it, it would not give us an advantage.
That's why you see some people do that finger signalling thing, to communicate with their partner on what type of serve they'll do
Thank you for covering all the little details in playing badminton. You two put all your professional experience and effort into making these instints into lessons for newbie like me to understand. Really appreciate that. I'm your fc in Thailand and congratulations on having 400k subscibers 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much 🫶
Great video thank you a lot.
For the Q&A i would be intrested how you would bring your mind back during the match when you
- lost several points and the opponent is in a great mindset and hits everything
- you miss multiple times the line or it just went in the net and you get frustrated
- you did nothing wrong but it just doesn't work out at the end
- you feel that your body is out of stamina and your shots lose accuracy
- your back down some points and want to come back but make more mistakes
Something in this direction
Thanks a lot ❤
Thanks for the question - we'll try our best to answer it! 😁
You guys are amazing! I've enjoyed each and every video you posted and also signed up on Patreon! The most interesting video I've found on your channel would probably the "How to read the game". Could you talk more about shot selection and strategy as a doubles player?
Amazing! Awesome to have you in the Patreon community 🫶 We definitely want to make more videos on that in the future!
Congratulations with 400k !!!

Thank you 😁 Hopefully it helps!
love your video as always and congrats for the 400k subs! I am a newcomer in badminton and eager to learn proper techniques & skills, one question for you two, could you explain how to assess our skill level whether at beginner, intermediate , and advance / professional? hope you could answer this one on the next vid!
Amazing content like always!!! Keep it up!!! This actually really helped with my doubles interseptions, as I’m a front court player.👍🏼
Glad we could help 😁
Amazing guys. Keep rocking. I have a suggestion. In fact, a request. I am not a Badminton professional, but playing it for mere enjoyment. I can only spend 60-90 mins a day, playing with my friends. We can not afford time for practice, as the priority is to have fun, play game. Given that scenario, I still would love to improve my badminton skill. Can you suggest a practice that can I can do as playing a game? For example, to improve my drops, you can suggest that in certain games I only play drop. It would be really great if you recommend something like that. It is like taking a medicine, and also enjoying its taste and texture. You can even call it "Gamified Practices".
Greg,which victor towel did you used..,Gr 334 or Gr 338..?
As always, thanks for a great video. Q: My sister wants to know, do you prefer Jeg or Grenny?
Haha, a lot of our friends call us Grenny 😂
