Thanks the video gave me a lot of knowledge about the equipment that I need, thanks Greg and Jenny!
Headband
To keep sweat away from eyes
wristband
To reduce slipperiness and increase grip lifespan
You nailed it on montage ! Love you guys always something to learn with you!
Thank you for all the badminton insights you've given over the years, they've truly been a great help for me!!
Wow thank you so much, that's amazing to hear! 🥺🫶🏸
Head band and arm bands are must for sweaty players and people with specs 👍
I was just watching your "Inside Victor Headquarter" video and thought about buying some Badminton shoes. Right when I was looking for some quality-shoes, this video was uploaded. What a timing that was! Greets from Germany ✌
Beware the A970NL featured in this video has horrible sole durability, the toe area of mine wore through to the mid sole in 3 months
Enjoyed this one, thanks!
I'm a beginner and started playing 9 months ago. Now to my gear, I just want to point out again that you don't need fancy stuff: Racket we bought years ago, know nothing about it. Yonex Mavis 350 blue/yellow because at uni those are the only ones other people want to play with and we don't use feather shuttles. Old running clothes I already had (shorts have a zipper, need it for my student ID). I bought new shoes for use inside, but after about 9 months I'm not sure if I made the right decision, something doesn't feel good. I don't get blisters or stuff like that, but I feel quite slow in them. All that goes into my backpack or a tote bag. All in all, it's not perfect but more than enough for me and it gets the job done, I'm having so much fun. I'm so happy to have found my favorite sport and something where I don't care so much about the gear 😂 Unfortunately I'm holding my racket the wrong way and need to relearn a lot, found that out through your videos. And I notice it while playing, too, it holds me back. I'll definitely need to sort out that shoe situation, though. I want to try feather shuttles, but right now I don't think that this is the right moment, I need to improve the foundation first, so I'll wait (cost is a factor). Oh and I'm a bit of a silly cyclist because I do need to hold my racket in the hand, sometimes even the tote bag, too. It just doesn't fit in the backpack. Greetings from Germany :)
bro 9 months is a lot u arent a BEGINNER ANYMORE
I was just wondering a few days ago about which equipments i should buy and if it's a need or a want and I saw your video today! Thank you so much for the information and recommendations all thr time!
I started watching this channel because I found it helpful in teaching me how to improve as a player. Various different drills and strategy tips.
I absolutely love your video please make more of these video ❤❤❤❤
Hey there! I love watching your videos and practicing using them I used to have a alpsport racket now I have good black knight one and I'm gonna start training soon thanks for helping me whilst I couldn't train yet 😁
Greg with the hat and shades is definitely a look. I love all the puns, great video :)
You guys help thousands of people loves badminton so much❤
Hi guys! :) I really enjoy watching your videos. They're also of great help planning my own beginner's course at uni ;) I'd be interested in learning more about how to properly use massage balls and fascia rollers. Cheers!
one of the best channels for badminton on youtube. love you guys, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much 🥹🫶
I think the most important thing in my bag is my phone so that i can always watch your videos and smash🏸 the like button
Hahah true... How could we forget to include a "youtube watching device" 😱 haha
This is such an amazing and helpful episode❤ keep gooingg
Thanks 😄😄
Have to disagree with your 2/10 for Performance on the clothing. How many times have you seen players wear cotton shirts that soak through with sweat and then cling to their body? That is surely making a big difference in their play!
Hi Guys! Thanks again for a great video ❤ Where did you get that mini foam roller? I was also wondering if you use a watch and if so, what watch.
thanks the video was very useful!😃
It's physically impossible to have watched it all yet 😂 But thanks for the support 🫶🏸
I was unsure whether I should replace my tennis shoes with badminton shoes. Now I know, thank you!
I'm happy to learn about foam roller and massage ball. Warm up and cool down are most neglected aspects that lead to injuries in long run. These are helpful things. Please tell me whether compression socks are helpful in badminton..
Thankyou guys your videos are helping me as a begineer a lot ... Binge watching your videos from last month as I joined a badminton academy ❤😊
Wait there's a badminton academy?
@@CoolCat4Me bro I'm talking about the local badminton coaching in my locality
@@omkarjoshi7574 there's a coach for badminton? I just watch CZcams videos and hope I hit the shuttle
@@CoolCat4Me yes bro just like any other sport coaching is there 😅
big fan guys........keep it up :)
good one, thank you
always love the puns 😂. learned something new with the shoes flexibility! thank you
incredibly helpful
Nice video guys! KEEP IT UP!
Thanks 😃 Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much 😊 we'll try our best!
scissors are a must to cut cross strings in case of breakage. i’ve seen heads warp a day or two after a string breaks and the other strings were intact. plus useful for trimming grip.
I like the puns 🤣, I'm an intermediate player(I think) and all details in the video are really helpful especially the strings because I didn't know that lower tension has a bigger area of the sweetspot, so when I get a new string or racket I'll make make sure to apply your tips. Thank you badminton insight 😁
A towel for us sweaty folk is a 10/10. Good for badminton; good for interstellar hitchhiking!
Right! You should always know where your towel is! :-)
Definitely agree on the shoes safety score. When I was starting, I just played in my regular shoes and sprained my ankle.
Yeah, ordinary shoes are designed to propel you forward, badminton shoes support the sideways twisting actions you need. People are amazed at the difference they make, after being initially skeptical when I proffer such advice.
just a random thought, im hoping you would do video about badminton playere category ( beginner, intermediate, advance, professional) im not sure which category im belong to, i have watched couple of video about this topic but it it inconsistent, i would like to know your view about this, again nice video as always.
good one!
Would you guys recommend a good budget racquet for an intermediate player
The towel grip is the key fashion statement on my racket! Should have been 10/10 for style points 🏸
I went off them when I realised how sweaty and tatty they quickly become. My go-to are Karakal PU Super Grips, easy to fit and nice and sticky so they don't slip out of your hand!
Nice video!
Could you or have you already posted a video on good types of badminton training? Im new and I dont have a coach so I am wondering on the types of training i should do
Always love badminton gear videos
Woop! Hope you enjoyed this one 😊
That Auraspeed 90k Metallic looks great on Jenny!!
😊🫶 it's an awesome racket!
INSIGHTFUL video as always ✅🔴⚪️
Great video, but you are missing something increadibly important. While quickly mentioned as a back-up it should be highlighted IMO!
And that is a bottle and snacks/powerrbars. I've seen too many people crash, sometimes faint, or develop headaches because they didn't drink enough or didn't eat enough.
I even keep extra power bars with me to competition matchs and tournaments because there are always a few people that forget to eat!
Very true, but we thought food didn't technically fall into the category of "equipment" so decided not to include it! Always important to fuel and hydrate though 💪
Thank youuu❤
You're welcome 😊
nice now I don't need to spend a lot of money on the other stuff thank you guys
You’re welcome 😃
If I keep playing/comfortable with flexible racquet (doubles) does it mean I'm not progressing as a player?
11:39 Deodorant for SHOES is a must as well personally. I am spraying the deodorant on my shoes before and after a long sweaty session of badminton.
My feet smell of roses, and I don't mean the chocolates! 🙂
I was given a supermarket racket to play outdoors. My strings in the sweet spot snapped after 3 soft swings. My opponents (beginners) gave up after I was still able to hit returns .😉 We had a good laugh.
The funiest you ever made ! And still useful 👍
Hahaha wow! Thanks 🤩
Hello Greg my performance rating for pedals on a bike is 10/10.
🤣🤣
I love your content guys 🙏😂😀
Thanks 😃😃
Is it normal for racket strings to snap after 3 years of playing ? I started frequently playing by going for a month to a badminton coaching and one day when i was continuously smashing my string snapped..
I just literally was thinking about it. In a blink of an eye,The solution
hi guys been watching ur videos very often, can you make a video about low repulsion strings and high repulsion string so that beginners can understand, i am an intermediate player in our locality and still cant find my strings, thank you!!!!
I'm a bit late to see this video, but what about shoe insoles? Do athletes customize their shoe insoles from the original ones and how important are they?
Can Basketball shoes work for badminton? It also has good gripping
I need help how do I tell if im beginner or intermediate?
For players looking to extend their badminton life span (older players past 30s at an intermediate or higher level), can you make an episode on injury prevention equipment like knee guards, patellar tendon bands, elbow bands if necessary.
Once you've settled on a racquet you like, you should have (at least) two of them, so you have one to play with while your other one is being restrung. We don't all have on-site stringers doing a while-you-wait service (or a stringing machine)! Regarding shoe grip - mine were so grippy it made me fall over and break my wrist! Another point about shoes is that badminton shoe sizing seems to follow a law unto itself so you may need to go up a size or two from your "normal" shoe size - try before you buy! Another thing for your bag are plasters, just in case (bag?), and a pen to sign those autographs! 🙂
10:42 totally not biased😂
. Love from India here you big student
Which Grips are you using ?
I also have cooling healing gel with me. In case if something happens, that i have at least something to treat it immediately.
those A970 Nitrolite are so so cool to wear!
They look 🔥
Can we talk about the spot on impressions of beginner players? Looks pretty authentic and how I used to play when I started!
hii u help me alot for badminton
love from india
Ah thank you, that's so nice to hear!!
Thanks for another great video! I would give a much higher performance rating to clothing though: wearing a cotton shirt in a high intensity game is way too uncomfortable as it doesn't wick away the sweat, it just collects in the shirt, making it heavy and clings to your body- much better to wear proper wicking polyester 😁
2 more Item I should like to be there in you list are the wrist Band to stop the sweating to reach to racket grip and the Head band to stop the sweat getting into your eyes.
clothing does a lot for performance! (freedom of body and joints and more) actually the same goes for injury prevention (slippery in shoes, more comfort, sweating, breathing)
Cool😊
more people need to hear about gear acquistion syndrome
Haha possibly true....
@@BadmintonInsight "All the gear and no idea" 🙂 Applies to photography and cycling, too, IME.
Have you guys made a video about play style?
Talent is what I need
What is this sweet spot you speak of? My best shots only use the edge of the racket! Also you forgot to mention Slush Puppies, our club organiser usually brings a stash, rated 10 for performance (those E-numbers make you move fast), 9 for injury prevention (hydration, cooling, nutrition and strength conditioning (opening the damn things with your teeth) all in one and 10 for style - I can really rock those bright blue plastic tubes.
.Really want to see video like training a beginner for like a month and doing progress video .
Can you Review the victor thruster 1h h
May you two review your new rackets?
Also what's it about wrist bands and head bands?
Can you do a video going into detail on shoes?
they alr did!
Have you guys ever tried 3 in 1 shuttles?
Hi Jenny. Just realised that you are no longer using thruster f racket. What racket are you using now and why did you change?
Thanks
Check out our video from a few weeks back - we discuss this in that video 😃
I actually uses shuttles from the bin, just looking for those with all intact feathers 😂
Hi,
I have a doubt on some shots for many year
1. How to take or defend the stick smash?? Bcoz it is difficult and differ from normal smash.
2. How to take or react to the punch clear on both sides??? I am 163 cm its hard to react to these shots
Plz upload some videos regarding these..
You really PUN a lot of effort into this video guys!! 😂
I’m still using my Proace sweetsport 1000, Proace widebody 55 rackets and Yonex carbonex 21sp rackets. Strung at 28lbs, BG68 strings, changed grips whenever grip felt worn (about 10 games) Rackets are kept well in a decent racket bag. Shoes are very important to me, I would rather spend on shoes than ok rackets. Footwork, technique and game IQ wins the game, not the most expensive racket in the world.
One of my coaches told me that one of the best racquets he'd ever played with cost him £20! It's all about balance and feel, not price!
what’s your comment about ars 90k ll
When I hit forehand I have thumb pain can someone help me
useful and funny video
@BadmintonInsight, what about grip power?? how important it is?
Never used it, can use towel grips 😂
I tried the yonex grip powder with a towel grip a few weeks ago for a first time - it was a game changer for me. 10/10 if you also have sweaty hands
Is white top and shorts frowned upon?
What about eyewear protection?
I think clothes play a very important role too, some material and design can helps you cold down your body temperature quicker and keep you feel good, it definitely will help you perform better, so I’d say 1 shoes > 2 clothes > 3 water bottle > 4 racket = strings > 6 bags etc
For me, i recommend beginners to use thinner strings at 24-26 lbs with LIGHT and FLEX racket, for example: VBS-63 at 24 lbs or VBS-66N at 26 lbs
There are a lot of light and flex rackets today so i think beginners should be able to handle higher tension, but in the past (like 15-20 years ago) where rackets were mostly in 3U and less technology, lower tension is a must.
I got my shoulder injury in my beginner days from a 3U racket at 26 lbs..
I think most of thick strings are hard feeling which consume more power and may increase injury, while thinner strings are softer so they are suitable for beginners and help them to increase power gradually
but thinner gauge strings are less durable and will be broken quite frequently by beginners
Yonex BG-65 should be the standard for beginners. Soft String also super durable. I would never recommend beginners to use Thin gauges as they are break so easily.
@@maksadnahibhoolna-wc2ef in my experience, my standard usage of a string is around 2 months, more than that my hitting feeling will be different, so break or not, the string should be changed to keep your hitting feeling consistent
If a beginner breaks the string like in 1 month or less, then their power has improved (or a lot of miss hit haha) and need to change their settings on string thickness and tension
And yeah, i forgot to note, what i wrote was as a hobbyist. For a competitive beginners or beginner athletes, the string settings will be different haha
@@JCbadminton sorry i forgot to note to what i have written above, it was for a hobbyist / casual player
For beginner athletes, thicker strings are recommended since they will train every day and thinner strings will break easily
For casuals, as long as the string holds for around 2 months, i think its suitable for their gameplay.
In my experience, a string after 2 months of usage will feels different even just a by a bit, so it should be changed anyway, break or not
@@januartjandra2830 I do agree with you on the 2 month mark to change strings. Just basing my experience stringing for people who were beginners and playing consistently.
I've always gotten some people who would insist getting strings like BG80 or BG66 UM even though they are beginners. They would come back to me about a week or 2 later and say "My string broke". 100% of the time it was a miss hit by the player. This is mainly the reason why i recommend Either BG65 or BG65TI to beginners so it doesn't break on them so quickly due to miss hits. I do believe the colder/drier weather in my area does affect string life. Could be different in more humid areas.
I personally only used BG65 in my early years because I did not hit consistently. I remember the first time I got BG80s, it broke within an hour... haha.
I used running shoes before and it almost cost me my knees :( That is why I chose the expensive one. Wew Still using them until now.
Thank for all your tips in this video... they are always very helpful!!!!
Running shoes are designed to help you go forward. Most moves in badminton aren't going forward, hence they're the wrong tool for the job.
@@stevemawer848 learned that the hard way... hahahah well i used them like ten year ago when i was still a beginner.. getting a drop show was really difficult... hahaha
Shoes are a definite 10. Sprained my ankles wearing running shoes as a beginner. After changing to proper badminton shoes, my 2nd sprain was minor and I recovered quickly. I wouldn't skimp on shoes.
Gracias chicos por los consejos ❤
I need a Lamborghini svj so that i can reach my academy early. And train more 😢😂
Everything 10/10
The change of clothes when talking about beginners and plastic shuttles is hilarious
Wrist band?
