I'm an intermediate player and for someone who has learnt badminton completely from instinct and observing players and matches for hundreds of hours on youtube, I think you folks are doing an incredible job of giving these small but incredibly useful tips such as this one or the video with the various grips. I have been fortunate enough to include these as a part of my game rather easily, I believe these will be extremely useful for beginners in the sport. Great work and good luck ahead!

This tutorial was a total game changer for me. I applied tips given here and voila! Smashes and the timing was so greatly improved. Thanks a ton guys, you have a great way of explaining things🙂

It's like having two Jennys (R/L) and two Gregs (R/L)!

The directional split step is soooo important and very often not taught or explained so I'm glad you two covered it. Imo, it's one of the key points, along with correct anticipation, to attain that millisecond advantage on getting to the shuttle.

I never had any coach playing badminton, just watching youtube and practicing at home. And that got me medals defeating players who have coaches and proper training. Thank you so much for doing this.

I'm an intermediate player who didn't know that split step was a thing.. so I often missed shots which I knew I could hit but I brushed it off thinking if I could improve jy physicality then I might be able to hit it.. but after watching this video.. I instantly got better and won my first tournament ! Thank you Greg and Jenny..

Keep it up!!!

Hey guys, you have honestly helped my badminton so much. The directional split step is honestly super helpful on court. So thanks 😊

[linelogic]

I really love the way you have given both right-hand demo and left-hand demo by flipping the video . Very useful for both types of players...
My son is right handed, but his coach is left handed, and my son struggles to understand and implement some of the footwork his coach shows him.

I always was confused of when to do the split jump. This has been a great one to know. Thanks a ton.

[neothaka]

Great video. The split is the most overlooked by most casual players and yet most essential part of movement.

I don't think I have come across anyone use the term 'quick drop' for split step before. Leaning the bodyweight forward is a very useful tip also. Wider stance and bend knees is also important. Always amazes me how much info you guys can fit in few mins. Now just have to apply what I have learnt here into practice 😅😁

Aloha Greg and Jenny, I enjoyed your weekly Sunday video and look forward to it. There is always valuable content no matter what level player you are. While serving as a quick review of the skill. There are snippets that contain "ah-ha" moments. Your bench drill provided my Reebok stepper with a new purpose. Launching myself into right/left forward and back directional movements. Thank you. Love you guys. I also found that as I improve my playing skills rewatching your past videos offer new "badminton insights" that I was unable to grasp earlier. Like I stated your videos are multi-leveled. Stay well. Always a fan.
