Stop Hitting Backhands & Do THIS Instead - Jump Out Smash Tutorial! 

We just hit 300,000 subscribers 😮 That number is hard to comprehend, but we are so grateful for everyone that has chosen to watch, like, and subscribe to our RU-vid channel on all things badminton! 🤗🏸

This was such a good video, the detailing in movements from showing good examples and the BAD ones as well just helps improving technique so much! Thanks for everything you do Greg and Jenny!

love the incorporation of the slowmotion when you show your techniques! it really helps me grasp the movements that you're making a lot better!

Really appreciate how you have rocketed up your quality and video production tricks.🙌 Great job guys! Love your dedication to your amazing channel.

Yes I've been waiting for this one! Looking forward to the next one too! Your tutorials are always super good!

SO HELPFUL! MY BACKHAND ISN'T SO GOOD SO THIS TUTORIAL IS SO GOOD.

Amazing video summarizing the do’s an dont’s of the shot. Clean and simple to understand instructions as well. Congratulations on 300k and hope the team does well at the tournaments 🙂.

excellent, much-needed tutorial. this is something every player needs in his toolbox. exemplars that immediately come to mind would be zheng siwei and yuta watanabe i'm gonna warn about one thing. i have seen a lot of ACL blowouts happen right in front of me. i've seen athletes come back from it, but i've seen as many aborted or at least severely impacted careers. it's motivated me to spend some time reading the research literature to try to understand that mechanics of how these injuries occur. in my observation, the jump out smash as you are calling it is one of the common triggers for the injury. note in this move the shuttle-side leg is the last to leave the floor and the first to land. you are essentially jumping from one leg onto that same leg. what seems to happen in ACL injuries with this move is the athlete is rotating the body, which is kinda instinctive when you're preparing to smash, and as you rotate, the shuttle-side knee, the one you are jumping off of, experiences some torque. under torque the joint inside the knee acts as a fulcrum and can separate the knee and stretch the ACL. when you jump at the same time the ACL is being stretched from torque, the ACL can tear partially or fully. when there's a full tear and the athlete lands in this situation they always collapse and hold their knee. people often think they landed wrong, in my understanding that is not correct. the damage happened on the way up, and was fully felt in landing the lesson isnt that you shouldnt do this type of move. like the title says, you should stop hitting backhands, especially in any kind of doubles, and do this move instead when you cant get behind the shuttle. but do it right. note the way greg and jen do it, with the hips flat to the net instead of rotating like you would normally do in a smash. so your hips stay pretty much parallel to the net the whole time. in the situation where you need to reply to a high cross-court and dont have time to get behind the shuttle, consider avoiding hip rotation and be conscious of the shuttle side leg pushing off the floor with zero torque on the knee ACL injuries affect both genders but are significantly more prevalent among females, probably because female joints tend to be generally looser than male joints injuries are an inherent risk in any explosive sport, and you accept the risk. the point is to arm yourself with information and discipline yourself to what keeps you free of serious injuries. greg and jen, ACL and other catastrophic court injuries are an under-covered topic. if it was right for you to cover the topic i'm sure it would be welcomed by professional and amateur players alike

Always thankful for your contribution to the sport of badminton.

Thanks very much for all the videos you do on techniques. I coach during our school's badminton season, but a few years ago, I blew out my knee and unfortunately can no longer actively demonstrate techniques to students when it comes to court movement, drills, and more advanced techniques. So I rely on excellent videos like yours to show students what I'd like them to work on to improve their skills, and I find that your approach very effective and engaging. Cheers! :)

Your hard work and dedication have truly paid off, and I can't wait to see what you'll achieve next. Keep up the great work, and here's to many more subscribers and successes in the future!

Absolutely amazing. I just needed this tutorial cause while I tried to hit this smash all the time; my technique was rubbish. Now I can improve my technique and footwork thanks to you guys. Love from Pakistan ❤❤

I was always bad at backhand. This video really helped me find an alternative

You really appreciate us ❤️💕

Many many congratulations to both of you for 300,000 subscribers❤️

Thank you so much 🥰

informative video guys and congrats for 300k subscribers

You both are the luck, with what the community is blessed. like your video, even if I am not more in the community.

Congrats on 300k Subs Greg and Jenny

Congratulations for 300K subscribers!!! No wonder because you always gave high quality products for audience! Jump Out Smash is very hard for us. We will try out without hitting backhands but it may not be easy. Thank you for your hard work!

Congratulations on the 300k, very well deserved! This is I think the only in depth video I've ever seen anywhere on the backhand side jump out, brilliant stuff! One small question, when you land on your non non racket leg, would you recommend turning the foot outwards slightly, I've found sometimes landing with the foot straight puts a bit of pressure on the achilles. I'm getting old now though so most things hurt these days! 😂

Hi love you guys keep doing what you love don't give love your vids❤

LOVE YOU VIDEOS THIS CHANNEL DESERVE MORE THAN 1 MIL SUBSCRIBER BECAUSE THE TIPS AND TRICKS THEY ARE GIVING US IS IN FREE OF COST NONE OF THE COACHES WILL MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND THIS DEEPLY . LOVE FROM INDIA😀❤❤

Careful for all the non professionals out there. Jumping out like Kevin Sanjaya at full speed can quickly result in injuries. Always start slow :)

Congratulations for 300K & Thanks for the video.

Congrats on the 300k! and also good luck if you're in All England!

this channel thought me so much about badminton congratulations on 300k!!

Congratulations on 300K! So happy that you took up badminton and not boxing ;-)

Quality as usual 🙏🏼. The details are exactly what I need to know to progress...thank you.

Greg, instructions weren't clear enough, my head is in the microwave.

love the new video

Appreciate all your videos ❤

Congratulations 🎉 🎉🎉, 300k sub! Looking forward for your busy match schedule in the next few weeks.

Rewatching this. Man, 1:37 Jenny's form looks absolutely jawdropping, and I think the slow mo further enriched this.

Another great video and well deserved for 300k

Had no idea you guys had a channel. Lovely content! Subscribed!

superb!!

This is the most helpful video I've seen on this subject. Thank you!

wow I've been using this skill for a long time without knowing that it is actually a proper one =))) although I still need to work hard on my footwork and my hand and arm movements, I'm happy to know that I'm using a good technique

I am literally watching you live as u are playing with kim and jeong from korea haha 😅. Lets gooo

6:13 Gerg almost laugh :D Thanks for the tutorial

Thanks!

Another great video :) Can you weight programs be done at home ?

So, this is actually the name of what I am doing... Thanks for teaching this .. I can improve what I am currently doing.

There is a reason why you guys got to 300K.. because you are both positive and awesome with great content… Keep it up…. Will be here waiting for you both to get to 500K…

When I needed it most you guys provided a tutorial! I have been using the backhand so much its became a signature of mine even though I know its wrong. Gonna start practising this later today Thanks!

Hey Gerg and Jenny, I hope everything is going well. Mamy many congratulations to you both for 300,000 subs and for your upcoming wedding. And ofcourse all the very best for your upcoming tournaments ... Gerg and Jenny you guys are doing great work.. Love from India♥️♥️

Congrats on 300k :)

This is one of the sexiest shots in badminton I think, and gives you a hell of a satisfaction if you do a perfect shot 🤩 I remember how my first coach not letting us play the back hand overhead shot until we reach the age of 15. He always wanted to play the backhand shots this way!

This is exactly what I need to learn!! THANK YOU SO MUCH☆ (from 🇰🇷)

Great video to avoid 99% backhand clear in doubles. Maybe you missed one important point as this stroke is risky as well. If this landed on heel then God bless your knee. Always land on your toes. I have seen two bad injuries so far in international badminton... One doubles women who broke her ankle and recent one is Carolina Marin who had to take one year break due to her knee injury.

Congrats on hitting 300k. Need the link to buy Greg's t shirt at 1:02 in the timeline 😂

All England Firsr Game Both Greg and Moore played excellently well. Moore was playing on another level. 13th point in the first game of first match was a fantastic treat to watch. The rally length was 58 shots. I suggest everybody to watch the highlight of this match and comment about this particular point.

I have tried this a few times but have not mastered the technique. Thanks for breaking this down, another great tutorial! Congrats on 300K sub!

First comment xD Always lookin forward to your videos. Thanks a lot ♥

Congratulations brother and sister ❤️...we are now 300k family 🥰🏸🥰

Wating For Ur Match 😀🥰 Court No.1 All The Best 🥰🥰

Just saw your game against the Korean pair. They looked really tired and I thought you were gonna smash and hit the subscribe button them! Was a really good game to watch. I'm waiting for my arm to recover before I play again so I'm watching all I can of the All England.

Congrats for your 300k subs and i am ur greatesr fan . I learnt so trick and tip from you, thanks. Love from India

Nice

Thx for sharing this 😊 i will try it tomorrow :-)

Thank Greg and Jenny for a very interesting technique. Tbh, this technique can easily lead to ACL injury. Many of my friends suffer from that :( Please, guys (I mean the viewers), watch the video carefully and do it properly. 🥰

Tough luck today guys. You played incredibly well but it was unfortunate that you didn't get the best result. Keep the performance at this level and you're bound to win some more titles. Excellent stuff guys! 🙌💯

Hi Greg and Jenny, great video again. Congrats on the wedding too. Will you be doing some badminton dance or something ;-) ?. A quick question: I'm left handed but I don't often play with left handed partners. Do you have tips on how to rotate and how to capitalize on me being a left hander?

Thank you

Congrats Greg and jenny. Keep up the good work. I need an expert opinion on my thoughts : I'm 26 and I play fairly good. I learn faster than most. If I decide to get professional training and climb up further playing tournaments etc, would it be worth sacrificing time and money or is it too late and it's better to keep it to recreational level? Thanks! PS: Are there any players who started thisss late and made to the top tiers?

Can you please upload a video on leg strengthing

Nice keep going 👍

Hello Greg can you recommend a victor racket that is cheap and slightly head heavy

please consider doing a yuta watanabe analysis video, i think it would help a bunch with having better shot selection!

I love doing this in doubles. But totally agree you need to be patient and know when you can get away with it

The punch is a throwback (and revenge?) to one of the earlier videos isn't it😆

Thanks for this tutorial., I have started to use this from last week.., but as I'm learning this., I have been making mistakes mainly taking the shuttle late.., as mentioned in tutorial we need to anticipate soon and reach the shuttle fast.., but I have been late most of the time and causing the shuttle to drop and I'm not able take it.. as we learn to play this short, is there away we can play a safe short if the shuttle drops and in odd position to play it...

nice you guys reached 300k sub try going to Singapore and play badminton :) i improved when watching your videos

This is a simple yet efficient technique in doubles and everyone should try this! Even if the smash is not a killer smash, it helps maintaining control and momentum. One common mistake I saw in my own group is that the player usually doesn't consider the recovery. It is easier to recover if you smash right after you falling down from the apex of your jump. Most of the time, I saw the player did heavy smash while rising up before reaching the apex. In that case, if the opponent defended with a counter drive to opposite side, you will not be able to reach the shuttle because you haven't landed yet.

Very useful pointers, especially for the recovery! I've been doing something similar to this in doubles, but not with the right technique... leading to a lot of lost points because I couldn't recover in time to cover the other side and my partner didn't know I was doing it 😅 otherwise they might have stepped in. This should help a lot! EDIT: Also congrats on 300k subscribers! Well deserved! 😊

Hi badminton insight. Just wanna ask if using gyroball/powerball does increase the wrist power? and does it also helps forearm strength for smashing power?

I always perform a backhand instead of a jump smash even though I can reach the shuttle. It became a habit of mine and I need to change that as it affects my playstyle.

Hey i am a big fan

thanks for the tips! i always got destroyed when it comes to backhand bcs i wasnt prepare to take the shot earlier

Loved it, but would have liked one or two example exercises to practise the shot. How to build up to the full movement and with some pointers for the feeders to pay attention to. New video idea? 😉

I love it when a video drops, you guys have really improved my badminton and look forward to facing you when I get older (I will win)

Xan i have badminton for my sis his birtday🎉 thankyou

Hello do you know where to get thruster k 7000

big fan

I have a question about something else though. I'm a left handed player and when my partner receive the service on the right hand court, he always return the shuttle netting to our right which is left side of our opponent. And they push the shuttle straight, so I have trouble in that scenario as my backhand is not that good. Any ideas to overcome this? and what area should I direct my return in that late backhand shot from the opponent? thx in advance.

Greg and Jenny please notice meeeeeeeeee! I am keiff from the Philippines, I recently got a Yonex Astrox Lite 27i. I am an intermediate player and I have BG65Ti string but I want to ask for your help. What tension should I get on it?

Hi Greg and Jenny. Please do a victor racket reviews and help amateurs choose better rackets.. I don't suppose you can review other racket brands as you're sponsored by victor But victor racket reviews for specific type players would be helpful coming from pro's

I remember watching LCW vs LD world championships 2011. Lin Dan did a jump out smash in the first game where he covered a DIAGONAL OF THE COURT with his chasse and jump.

What do u mean by hips square?

I wish i could have a couch like you

Gerg and Jenny are my favourite badminton players in England.

See you at All England Open！
