3 Things Pro Badminton Players Do On Their Smash (that you should too)

In next Sunday’s video we’re a day of training in China with the Olympic Champions so SMASH the subscribe button (with perfect rotation, timing and placement) so you don’t miss it 😆🏸

I swear, 1 month ago I needed a defense guide and you guys made a video about it, now I wanted to practice my smash and made a video again! Thanks a lot, you guys are so reliable 😂

Been addicted to badminton recently i started 3 months ago this channel has helped me improve greatly!!

I've been following this channel for over two years now. They are my first coaches. Their videos helped me improve my game and win local tournaments. Undoubtedly, they are the best badminton coaches on RUclips.

I was worried yesterday that my smash was useless , and badminton insight is here with the best ever timing!!. Nice video Greg and Jenny all the best for China Masters

I agree with Zheng on this one, a powerful smash that does not get you a point is not a good smash, it’s the ones that have good placements (powerful or not) that get’s you the points are the good ones.

For the non-racket arm, my coach described it as pulling your elbow in to force your torso to rotate outwards when you're making the shot. It does help a lot because your body will naturally want to rotate, making the movement a lot smoother.

Hi greg and Jenny, I started playing indoor badminton in June and have been following the channel. My game has improved a ton, covering each and every thing, You guys are doing great job. Cheers! Lots of love from India.

Great content as usual!, good breakdown of what to focus on!

Great video.... Loved the bow and arrow at 8:40

Thanks so much Greg and Jenny! It looks like you have so much fun making these videos, always smiling 🙂.

I just recently discovered your channel and you guys have already helped me tremendously in recognising areas in which I have really lackluster technique and bad habits. Thanks a bunch for all the work you put into these videos. Love from Denmark!

I really hope your channel hits 1 million subs soon! You guys are doing very amazing work!💌

THIS is judt what I needed. I am planning to train my smashes with a coach because smashes are cool. Thanks Jen and Greg you guys are really awesome online coaches for me.

could you guys make a video about neutralization shots(ex:- rear court forehand and backhand drives used by chen longstick smashes used by lin dan). it could be very important.
Also‚ really love your videos and the support you guys gave us to become better players.💗💗

Great tips. Many focus on powerful smashes only, this is real pro tips to focus on placement too . Also like previous videos on variation

love your videos guys it inspired me a lot thank you a lot you teached me since one year.

Thank you for investing in equipment 🏹 😜 I am currently working on improving my smash, I had indeed noticed all of the points covered, but the editing and the illustration that you make of it will be of great help. Thanks again

Thank you for all the smash tutorials

This has made me improve so much. Thank u

WOW when i found this chanel my badminton skills improved tysm guys!

This came on time since I recently made my first ever proper jump smash : ) Thx for your tips

Good video, good info and good explanation! Keep it up guys! Learned a lot 😄

I'll be fine tuning my smash more after this video. Thanks Greg & Jenny!

Amazing - really well explained & look forward to trying this in my next game.

no wonder i always misses the line when i smashes with 100% power really useful video!!i will try to be more precise and reduce my power to increase my accuracy 😊

30 likes in a minute! Everybody is anticipating your weekly videos

Wowww thank you so much❤️
Just what i needed!!

Another really helpful guide, although smashing at a picture of the missus is a bit dodgy 😆
Best of luck in the China Masters this week. Tough first round draw, just give it your best.

Great video! Are you going to release a RUclips video too of you guys playing mixed doubles with Huang Ya Qiong and Zheng Si Wei? Saw your IG story about it!

Another great video. Thank you!

not gonna lie, i’m not so good at doubles but my attacking game in singles is just what made me top my school (might go for state player but im also focusing on studies). this smash tutorial is indeed perfect for intermediate to advanced players who want to launch fireworks in tournaments or training/sparring in school :)

1:20 Greg’s face 😂😂 totally worth the 3 quid on bow and arrow prop

Thanks for the tips❤

Really helpful tips

you guys are awesomee!!!!

One thing to add about body smashes: This is especially effective against taller player, because they usually have longer arms as well. Having long arms makes it even harder to get the racket in the right position around the hip/upper body. On the other hand, tall players with long arms can sometimes reach shuttles down the line that a smaller player wouldn't be able to return. So this is something to consider as well

I am suffering an injury. Can you make a video on what injured Badminton players should do to improve their game?

I really appreciate you guys making these videos between competitions 🥹

Best content!!!! Love you both

THANKS FOR THE TIPSS!!!

I guess it comes into the placement point, but one of the biggest things I worked on with my smash was the angle. Again, I have taken off a little power, but the team defending finds it much harder to counter attack if the shuttle is coming below their hip.

finally here early, keep up the good work guys!!

Can we get a video on different excercise to train the muscle involved in the badminton that works the most and prevent injuries?
Thanks ✌️

Smashing video as always👏

Thank you for this video! It really helped me improve my technique, if I may ask a question, I started playing badmiton about 2 months ago, and I feel like I'm rapidly improving, and I really enjoy the sport. I am learning badminton twice per week, in one-hour sessions. Although I learn some things, I feel like I'm not learning enough and want to make it my full-time career, by moving to China and learning it to become a professional badminton player (my goal is to go to official tournaments such as world tours or even the olympics). I understand the physical demandness and the competitiveness of the sport. Could you guys please give me some insight on what I should do? Should I quit my dream, is it too late, could I fulfill my dream? Many thanks.

I have a doubt for the past many years
After lifting which is the right place stand , is it base position or little bit back side from the base
And if the opponent played a deceptive drop from that lift how to take that drop
And if they played smash from that lift how to defend that and if they played clear to long back how the take that
Please put any videos related to this

I can do the sideways one very nicely but always forget to stretch out in a jump smash, I just keep my body bended

Extra merchandizing idea: sell the cut outs! I would love to use it to train my smashes on real size Greg and Jenny 🎉😅

Thank you for all

awesome video

Unrelated topic, what's affordable but great shuttlecock?
Aeroplane Red SG1130, Aero Gold/Silver, RSL Silver 12+1, XP2 Silver
Also is it normal to have a slight fatigue/headache after 1 game of badminton

I need to train more. I tried to SMASH the subscribe button, my rotation, timing, placement was off, and I missed! Second try, I got the like! I'm definitely watching the future videos!

Amazing Video:D

Do you think you can make a video on how to hit a cross court of any shot please? Like a cross clear, smash, drop, or netdrop?

Can you do a form analysis on fu hai feng? As a fellow lefty and he is the GOAT of smashing in doubles

W you totally improved me

Young Mohammad Ahsan had the most unique smash technique that I've seen

Hi Greg and jenny, thanks for this video. I'm an intermediate MD player that meets all 3 requirements. However, I still don't have that nuclear smash as some of my counterparts.
[Imagine Kevin sanjaya vs goh v shem; obviously I'm not that good but even in their prime they have different smash power] I think im too lean and don't have enough bicep.
I'm wondering what workouts i could do to generate that kind of nuclear smash.
Thanks again and great video!

As a continuation to smash placement.. would you mind to share the tips for effective return in singles and doubles

best of luck at this weeks China Masters..... i will be heading to Chiang Mai for my badminton tournament....!!! When i found out the name of the tournament i just had to go... its called Sawasdee Cup...hahaha🤣

jump smash or standing smash which is better.

Can you guys a film a video that shows what a proffesional badminton player does for an everyday routine? Thanks! Im also curious to

Can you guys please make a video on how to counter deceptions/holds

Lee chong wei has the best smashing skillss!!

Smashing 😂
Funny how the Smash was the actual thing that I was learning about in this week’s session 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Do you have any videos or suggestions for a player who has a weak knee or weak leg when it comes to badminton? I'm plagued by a sporadically painful knee which hampers my already amateur abilities XD!

SMASHING video 👏

I have an open tournament next sunday ( men doubles ). I`m excited yet SCARED. This is my first tournament. IDK what to doooooooI`m not that good

Please make video on how to play against control style type player plz big fan of yours

Hey Greg, what Victor racket do you recommend for brokies like me?

Hello greg and jenny im a big fan

Wow blown away by Siwei!

I have a really good smash, the only problem is I do not connect with all of them well. 6/10 smashes I connect with really well and the ones I don't connect well with, give me arm pain at times. I would like to know why this happens? I only play once or twice a week as well so not that I can spend time practising. Open to your suggestions

mum new badminton insight just dropped

i'm autodidact and i feel awkward/slightly embarrassed when putting my non racket hands up before hitting the shuttles 😅

Thank you❤

Heard you guys lost in the China Masters 2024 by Yuta Watanabe and Maya Taguchi. Sorry for your loss. Hope you will improve and win titles in the upcoming time. GL

Thanks for your guidance 😊 .. first 😅

How do i smash with placment? because when i smash, it always goes to the middle

I find that I'm much more likely to play a good (timed) smash if moving backwards, especially towards the round-the-head. If I'm able to get right under the shuttle, it seems I always mistime it. What could I be missing?

thanks😁

7 minn agoo wsuppp love from Philippines ❤

Hi! im a big fan from SEA (Philippines), hope you visit my country and maybe play in here. 😳

Hey i want to play professional, after age of 17, can i start training at 17, as i can do training at age of 17 only 😢

can you teach how to catch the shuttle with the racket plsssssssss

my nephew called, he wants his toy bow and arrow back. lol kidding aside, great vid as always guys

Is it okay for my grip to be slightly towards a panhandle? (very small), I feel like its hard for me to hit it flat when I use an ordinary forehand grip (i have a tendency to slice it).

Me that doesn't know how to smash:

Still looking forward for them, to visit India

U guys are doing more for badminton than bwf 😂

Hi Badminton Insight

6:01 "I'm gonna aim for this hole"

Did you guys really buy a toy arrow just for that one scene? 🤣

what is Zheng's current racket?

A good tip for smashing is to just be a lefty - opponent lifts to what they _think_ is your backhand... and then they remember.

6:00 aim for this h.. what? :)

please guide that how to keep the racket string face perfectly straight while hitting the cock? how to avoid slicing the smash?

f = m * a .. a ist the only factor you can influence .. that's your acceleration by rotation
