I supposed the constant shuffling of the feet not only put you in a better position faster, but also the snap-reflex action at the heels and ankles that help generate more power in your returns. It's not just arm power after all.

Thank you so much guys

Dears , your videos are great . It would be good if you guys put some video on how to deal with faster flat returns on serve from opponents in doubles

I watched your match against the Serbian team the other day. Loved it ! The back hand cross court net shot was wicked!

Thanks for helping me improve my defence😊. I really needed it.

Hey Greg and Jenny, can you do a video on how to defend your face, your foot, and sides, and what grip. I hope I made some sense 😂 hard to explain though.

God damn it, look at them(G&J) move!! 😵😵😵

It's so great to see a left handy show us

idk what exercise to do to improve my shot power

Thanks for sharing 💓

Hello, I don't have a Badminton Partner and I practice in front of a wall at close range, just of shortening my reflex time. Would this help me in my defense against hard smashes? Is there any drills I can do with this?

How can I practice if I got no partner?All the people at my badminton club are lazy bums. I am not satisfied with the defense training at the badminton club. I want to practice at home but I don't know how to.

Nice video

nice dear

Thank you for making this helpful video, I've just back after a year and this will help me a lot ❤

thanks so much for your sharing.

It's amazing that Chia and Soh can stand like this leaning far forward against the world best. Because it means hitting the shuttle earlier, so their reactions need to be even quicker!

Ma'am please teach to hit more accurate smashes

Hey Greg and Jenny, So I was playing a match last week with my friend, and we are both pretty good at the sport, but sometimes my friend hits really long clears, long enough where I either can't reach it, and can't move back to the rear court in time, can you give me some tips with this, thank you!❤️

Another great video Greg and Jenny. Thank you!!
I watched the World Championships live and it was my first time watching international players from such close up. I noticed one thing that many doubles players were doing (especially during the CHOI/SEO (KOR) vs. LEE/WANG (TPE) match). While doing defense they keep their grips relaxed and constantly shake their racquet which gives them the momentum while defending. This is unlike if you have to generate the swing from a static position.
This i feel is similar to the split step jump we take to get into momentum when moving for a shot.
What do you think?

Defense is super important but also really hard cuz I have no reaction time.

How to do good lunge in singles when the shuttles is far or low?

Are you guys going to play In the Canada open?

Please can you tell me what was the app for playing with an unknown person

Bottom line : It's really difficult!
When others smashed at their 85% and above strength, I've yet to be able to lift to the rear court safely :(

One other thing i would add is looking to move your (as in, the defending player) base position forwards in the court when you can, to allow you to drive the shuttle back flatter and help turn defence into attack, or to at least neutralise an attack.

If you watch players like Endo and Watanabe they are often really high up the court when defending and are really good at returning the shuttle quite flat or changing the angle of the defence to half-drive it across court. Chris Langridge was a really good example of this too and his base position was almost exaggerated in how far forwards he would stand in court but you would say his ability to turn defence into attack, or to block to the net and move forwards was right up there with the best in the world

Admittedly you wont always be able to drive the shuttle back, and you have to select to do it at the right moment otherwise you can put yourself under more pressure, but once you start to get the hang of it, it can be such a good weapon to counteract a smash.

Just my 2 pence worth

How about cross court relifts?

Can you please a video on single's defence? Or is it really the same the doubles one?

Not directly related to the topic of the video, but just wanted to say that those camera angles are great to show the speed of our sport to people who aren't familiar with it x)
Thanks!

Wow!!! Thank you!!! Can't wait to practice the 2shuttles-crazy-men-everybody-will-laugh-at-us defense practice...😅🤣🤣😂
More seriously: This was soooooo worthfully!!!! I will try to improve with your guidance...😄😃😊 viele Grüße Andreas

Thank you for this video. On yesterdays tournament I've realised that my defence is really bad and now I'm watching all the videos to improve it in the next few trainings :)

Hi, I really enjoy your training videos, but I noticed that there is almost no information online that clearly and precisely explains how to choose the right grip, how to measure it, what are the different measuring techniques, because I think this is one of the most important components for productive play. It would be great fun if you could show how professionals hold the racquets, what are the gaps between the fingers, what should you pay attention to before buying a racquet with different grips, etc. Thank you :)

I am also lefty
Very nice to learn
Thank you

oh boy, that re-lift practice with 2 shuttles looks fun :D I'll try that tomorrow!

Great video Greg and Jenny, unlucky in the last tournament I watched you guys live on the bwf channel.

Can you do a video about injuries and recovering from them? I'm 5 weeks into recovery/rehab for a grade 2 sprained ankle and I see too many players having recurring injuries because they won't rest for long enough (this is my first real injury in 6 years so finger crossed there's no more).

Any tips or techniques you've picked up for speeding recovery and rehabilitation would be great as well.

Love from India 🇮🇳✨

While the training shown is helpful, the problem in real world is that the opponent will switch to playing drop shots. This practice seems to lull the player to be conditioned to think the opponent will keep playing straight to them. Perhaps a suggestion would be the practice should cover not just defending smash that comes directly but also drop shots and half smashes.
