I love that you do lateral inversion to show both left- and right-handed player action. Brilliant idea and so inclusive!

✋ I'm too tensed on court yet to be able to do that but I'll definitely watch it again and again until I get better at it ! As always thank you so much for the tips and your continuous efforts to make those videos as wonderful as possible 💪

When I point out my mistakes from my games and learning how to fix them, I always go to this channel. Thank you so much always!

Hi, your badminton tutorial videos are truly very informative and gave me more techniques while playing badminton on court. Thank you so much for your wonderful efforts and creating amazing videos. Love you both ❤️❤️

U guys are so proficient at exhibiting these skill levels, I am sure it will help elevate club members game. Keep posting these clips, you are fantastic, take a bow 🙇‍♀️🙇

Another great video guys. I'm a very wristy player, going for angles which aren't very consistent and I lose a lot of points. Now I know the fingers and thumb are the key, I will see how that improves my games tomorrow. Cheers guys 👍🙏🏼

Since I’m beginner for this sport you’re videos brings me lots of motivation and guidance. Thank you very much for sharing knowledge. Keep it up.

Thanks for the video , The writing analogy perfectly explained what I might be doing wrong while trying to use wrist , helpful videos as always!😀

✋ Thank you very much for this great explanation!!! I watched a lot of videos searching for the right wrist movement in smash which I struggled with a lot. And I think I finally got it! Probably I got too literally the phrase that we should use wrist) So I did the same too long wrist movement in smashes as you showed here in all other shots. And even watching smashes in slow-mo I couldn't realize how their hand ended up in quite straight position after the hit. Instead my arm was almost "folded" with my thumb very close to the wrist. Just as you showed in "don'ts". I tried different ways to fix this but ended up in just completely losing control. But now in your video I saw what I didn't notice before. And yes, this is probably also what makes my backhand shots weaker. And all other shots. So again thank you very much, I can't wait for the next training to practice all this) P.S. I just wonder, how can we train to stop a too much wrist movement during the final stages in a smash, and not stopping the whole hand movement at the same time? Because when I try to stop my wrist it seems I also begin to stop my hand a little so losing a little bit of power. How can we train this to be able to "separately" control wrist and the whole hand?) P.P.S. Funny joke in the end of the video, about using our fingers to subscribe))

Wow this is perfect! I just very recently got the feel of fingers generating force and my clears improved instantly!

Funny coincidence for me with the timing of this video. For the past 2-3 weeks, I've been slowly realizing that I use my wrist way too much. Hurt my wrist prior, and I realized that my backhand kills have been better because I have not been flexing/bending my wrist as much lately. Nice to see that it's not just a theory, but relevant to good technique. I live in an area where the badminton community is pretty small, so you will hear all the amateur players (some of whom are quite skilled regardless) tell you contradictory things. One of the best players here, who is capable of any type of return from anywhere on the court, told me that it was all about the wrist! These are the types of videos that really make this channel stand out

pure gold, well explained. i am sure this will help me improve.

Thanks! Ive been self taught so far and had no idea about this. Everyone always told me its in the wrist, not a single person mentioning fingers and the squeeze.

Amazing video! I’ll definitely use that backhand index finger + thumb exercise for my students. I personally also want to improve the overhead version of this where you can surprise others with a clear!

Hello you two! I love your content and I thank you for spreading love for the sport of badminton. I never knew you produce this content and thus far - I have not yet come across anyone that radiates and permeates through their whole being true knowledge and understanding of the beautiful game (that is not football) badminton that is! I love you both for helping me improve the game I love so much. It is a serendipity moment as I have found you and I can now say I have come across someone that truly connects with me and confidently I can say you two KNOW YOUR STUFF. I will most definitely look more in depth what else you offer and will enroll to support your channel in anyway I can. My name is David though I use the alias of Shane :)

Really helps form and wrist strength, great strategy guys!

I have a mix of sometimes using my wrist, but more often than not just gripping too tightly in general. Now I know why I fail at switching grips. Thanks for the vid!

✋Most probably the best channel on KZread, always ready to improve upon others and giving professional tips that comes from years of experience and training. You have helped with my badminton journey so much, yet no one else is giving. Always love both of you and your content. Bye!!

Thank you so much for this video tutorial. I have just started playing badminton, in a social setting. I'm a tennis player, so a bit of adjustment needed. Haha. The first time I did ok. And the 2nd time I started to make many errors. And it slowly became a situation where "everyone is an expert". I was that overwhelmed with information that I lost my self-confidence and had a terrible day. I was lucky that one of the experienced women, who had played competition taught me some basics which helped. However, watching this tutorial has not only been beneficial, but the explanations are clear and easy to understand, so thanks again, truly.

Thank you! I’m finding myself looking for your video in the subscription feed every Sunday morning my time.✋🏾

🙌 thanks for your great video! 😊

Very nice video! I'm a coach from Germany and I always tell my players to keep the wrist in a relaxed/neutral position for all basic shots. The wrist by design really isn't made to accelerate/generate power. In Badminton you only really use the wrist for deceptions/sliced shots.

Much needed since I just injured my wrist. Appreciate it.

Awesome vid Badminton Insight!! I learned something new again😊

✋Thank you. This tutorial is something I was looking for to improve my technique.

I can see the difference of relaxed body state and when i am not relaxed every time I play. My power and accuracy drops a lot when I am not relaxed and can control my shots with my fingers. On a stressful day at the office it's much harder for me to relax and focus. This Video shows such an important point which is very ofter underestimated! Keep up your good work ♥✋

Great tips! I play both darts and badminton, it's true that we use fingers to propel the darts more than the wrist. Scottish darts player Gary Anderson mentioned that he uses his middle finger to push off from the point, which is why he's using grooved points.
