I used to always lose to my friend after learning split step and footwork I am magically controlling the game...thanks Greg and Jenny for the wonderful lessons!
Ahh, the good days. Used to learn badminton from these videos back when I had the time to. Forgot the basics since it's been a while since I lifted the racquet. Thanks again Greg and Jenny!
Short, crispy & informative video. I would recommend all the recreational players like myself to incorporate these footwork in their game. I learned them intuitively but over long time and it's one of the differentiating factors of my game from the rest.
@@AyushiRajput-vp2fn Learn - Yes. Master - No. 1) Footwork matters more in Singles than Doubles. 2) If you have faulty footwork then there might be something wrong with your grip and swing too. 3) If you try to focus on new footwork then your current grip + swinging habits might not sync well with it and therefore disturb your shot timing as well. 4) I would advise you to focus more on service, service returns and defence for 10 days. p.s :- When I play singles with a superior player then even my footwork breaks down because of his deception and less practice.
Hi to both amazing badminton players, I’m from Singapore and I have benefited much from your clear and succinct instructional videos. Looking forward to more in future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️💪🏻💪🏻❤️
Great video once again. Your videos have helped many amateurs like myself understand, and tryout professional level routines to improve our game. Hoping you would bring out a video on strength building exercises and gym routines helpful in badminton. 😊😊
Thank you very much Mayur - great to hear we're helping you! 😄 We've actually done a video on this already: czcams.com/video/U-HFmu4Nm04/video.html and we have also created 4 badminton-specific weights programmes for the gym that you can check out here: badminton-insight.com/4-badminton-specific-weights-programmes/
Amazing!! Learnt so much and can’t wait to implement it 😀 Once I can improve these areas I’m really looking forward to learning the different movements to the forehand side depending on the height of the shuttle! Thanks again for another AWESOME video
You know its really bad of me but this is the first time I used a discount code from CZcams subscribers. Keep up the great work! Thanks guys. Appreciate the left and right handed footwork!
It's interesting in how so many movements coincide with other sports like the way you split the legs apart is similar to boxing where your front leg is used to support your punch from your back hand as well as to provide mobility and stability to block and dodge other punches.
Congratulations on the great videos produced! One thing not mentioned but important to explain is what you do from a more neutral or front on split step or if you anticipate incorrectly and are therefore at a different angle to what is show in the video. All demos are with the same split step position which will be very different depending on where you have played the shot. Keep up the great work 👍
I know this is old video but I have an opinion to share about 3:34-3:50. In Korea, some coaches refer fast tempo as landing before you hit the shuttle(in quick swing). This means you sacrifice some control to hit the shuttle at a tempo faster than normal, gaining advantage in speed and pressuring the opponent. Likewise, landing after you hit the shuttle provides opportunity for deception and takes some tempo out. But the coaches also mention this is for advanced players, amateur should still land just before hitting the shuttle.
It just goes to show your information and tips are timeless 😁 I watched this video and a few others of yours this morning before a 90 minute Badminton set. All the games were Doubles, I/We Won all but two games in all that time. I have been playing a long time but have so many ingrained errors in my game it’s a shame. However, the two main things I used was lots more Sashee and Racket Up. I normally take 3 shirts as I sweat them up so quickly that I change at the end on every hour (normally play for 3 hours). Today I only used the one shirt as I did not have to work very hard. I like my Footwork now 😜 and can’t wait to get on court again to see how many other tricks I can use. Thx Jenny & Greg 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Good footwork allows you to be so much more efficient around the court - it helps you to be a bit lazy, as you've found! People often wonder why I can cover so much court at my age with apparently(!) so little effort! Good footwork and anticipation every time! 🙂
Another really good explanation/demonstration of the correct footwork. It can be hard work practicing these movements over and over, but it is well worth it.
Guys i am happy you made this video but now i am confused. I know it’s important for both of you to be in the video but one player is left handed and the other is right handed and because of that i am extremely and now I don’t know what to do!
omg jennyyy and greggg, i watch all your footwork videos because i train everyday to be a bamdinton player and after getting the hang of the footwork my game really improved! though i must say its so tiring TvT
I have watched this video atleast 20 times and practiced all four corners I have problems in 3 corners and the problem is recovery footwork there is greater detail in footwork going to play shot but after once played the shot i am stuck it would awesome and useful if you guys provide some details in recovery I am definitely looking forward for the reply because I am eager to practice the footwork right Following the above footwork have improved my game tremendously I'm looking forward thanks
Amazing! You are so good at teaching. Now I can move much faster on the court. I really want to learn how to clear from backhand when your opponent is exactly at the center of the court and ready for a smash?
Hi - Thank you so much for your tutorial. I play Badminton on the weekends in New York and practice shadow footwork very religiously so this will help me a lot. Question - I love the way Ms. Ratchanok moves on court - so light and elegant. Does she use any special movement technique or is that just her natural movement style - You know how some people have naturally beautiful handwriting - is it like that ? I'd love to move with grace just like she does on court. Please advise and much love to both of you.
Lovely video, I'm watching this as a amateur player who had an ACL tear playing a forehand at the rear court and did not rotate but rotated along my knee. A plant and pivot across my knee. This is useful 💪
Super video again. I have been finding I am not as sharp since my return to court after Covid restrictions being lifted. I have been forced to play less. Any advice on how to make better use of time off court.
Thank you so much Gabriel! Check out some of our first videos on our channel - they really focused on badminton-specific training if you can't access the courts!
Hello , i watch the video and i hage a question about the forecourt backhand side, i would know why we use the non racket leg to do the directional split step ? Your video are really cool and High quality pls continue like that ! 👍
Amazing video! I had a question that I couldnt' find an answer anywhere though - it seems like split step is an anticipatory movement, so that means I have to decide on a direction before I actually see where the shot is going. But what happens if I do a directional split step in the wrong direction? Or is it more like, the start of the split step is anticipatory, but then you decide on the direction "mid-air" after seeing the opponent's shot? Thanks in advance!!
You guys are great in conveying the detail. But in this video, just got a tad confusing at the end, when the caution of not using your non racket leg. If, that is conveyed in the beginning as a corner stone for the 4 corners cover, I guess it could ease the understanding. But, i agree, no practice no perfection.
Just a thought. On the front court backhand side, you don't always want to bring your racquet (dominant) leg around and back to the neutral position immediately. Instead you might want to keep your dominant foot in front and shuffle back first. This is because if you played a net shot, there is a possibility that your opponent will net, too. In that case, you don't want to be caught still "bringing your racquet leg around". Keeping the racquet foot in front can make you faster to return net shots. If the opponent lifts, just perform a split and turn your hip, you will have time :D
I thought the same thing for the backhand corner, this was something my coach actually corrected. I'm right-handed and I had a habit of stepping with my left foot first and then my right foot and returning the same way back. My coach told me to go right foot first and chasse step forward and recover the same way back. This way if like you said the opponent nets as well you can easily chasse step forward and reach the shuttle.
Love your videos.....im a bit confused about this though. Greg demonstrates split step, then jenny demonstrates lunge. Which should i use? Can you use either?.......thanks
Hello, wonderful video ! I just have a question concerning what you said at the end to force ourselves to push also with our non-dominant legs. I struggle with this and have issue to transfert my bodyweight into this leg (the right one for me as a left-handed) no matter the movement like after a split step or after a scisor-kick making my recovery very slow since we have to push forward with it.... Any piece of advice/exercices with this ? Thank you :)
One question. Should smash backhand defence with, as a right-handed player, a left foot lunge? I think it is faster than turning your body to do the right foot lunge. Just a thought. Your content is great!
Bummer, I’m right handed but left footed… That lead with the same leg as your racket arm is proving that my mind is glued in a specific (incorrect) way after many decades of left foot right hand!
Hi badminton insight. Its been over a year since this video was posted and after watching this video am i also intressted in the other 3 rear court movements you said you would cover in another video. Has that been posted because i cant find it ?
Hi sir/madam One quick doubt. Is it okay to walk before execution of a service. During service no faults (one continuous movement with both feet on floor)??
Have a question, on recovery, you mentioned running step back to recovery, but on some clips and previous tuition it was chassis recovery. Which is used for when?
I used to always lose to my friend after learning split step and footwork I am magically controlling the game...thanks Greg and Jenny for the wonderful lessons!
That's great to hear! You're very welcome 😃
