Backhand Drive
backhand drive
in this video there are 2 different drives
drive from half court in doubles
or drive from the rear court
so my partner will be in front
I am standing here
and the shuttle is coming to my backhand side
and then I do backhand drive
I am going to explain about this technique
number 1 point how to hit the shuttle cock
backhand drive, the purpose of backhand drive
role of this drive is to hit empty space as soon as possible
and do it in flash time, very sharply
that is the role of backhand drive
and that's what players are planning to do
in order to make such kind of shot
the hitting technique should be different
for example
if I wanted to hit very accurately then I have to stay still or
I have to follow
like this
some where here
like this
but
if I want to make very sharp shot
then I have to hit it very sharply with tap swing
which is this
so tap it rather than follow through
like this
so you can see the difference
if a player follow through then the shot
is not sharp
please compare
or
its different
so at the impact
hit
after the shot not follow
or after shot don't stop, try to come back
like this please
just here
so more wrist and finger
so hold and hit
from here
when shuttle comes the racket should be pointing the shuttle first
and then hit it, that way player can make more accurate shot
and more sharp shot
watch this please
ready
hold and hit it
hold and hit
rather than
without hold just hit it
it makes bigger shot
like this
yeah different
try again
the hold
hold and hit
hold
in order to hit shuttle like that player must take the shuttle
little bit more in front of their body
so here
if they take shuttle side then my face
facing there and I am hitting that way
so this does not match
it should be
little bit wider movement
and then here
so shuttle cock, net, opponent court, opponent can be seen all together
so this player is hitting with opponent
rather than hitting shuttle, just watching the shuttle cock
can you see the difference
when I am taking shot side of my body
and when I am taking shuttle in front of my body
its different, this one which is not benefecial
to accuracy
here
now change it to in front
there
here
so the movement is not like this
yes, player can move side
but take shuttle in front
rather than move side hit side
no
move side way but take shuttle in front
like this
ok remember tapping the shot
will be much sharper than follow through
in order to, be able to use wrist
the posture and the placement of the wrist is important
the wrist should be lower than racket head
so wrist can work
some where here please
wrist can work like that
ok have a look please
like this
so, its lower - higher
if I do the other way like that flatter
if I do that difficult to make powerful backhand
one more
no like this
it should be lower
the wrist must be lower than racket head
again like this
so, key point here
make impact point, the level of impact point should be similar
of the level of your eyes level
for example what I mean
if shuttle is little bit higher then you go little bit up
again
like this
but shuttle is here, your eyes together
when shuttle is here higher, like that you cannot do that
same
the other way round
if shuttle goes lower, then your posture
so your eyes level should go lower together
which is like this
like that
so hit here, your eyes there
so its more focussed, concentrated rather than
your eyes there and you hit here
there is no feelings together
please compare this one
lower
lower please again
not here
you hit here, eyes there
no feelings together
should be there
there
rather than
like this
lower please
yeah
hit eyes too much gap
together
there
in this way all your feelings will pass on to the shuttle cock
which your shot will be sharper and more accurate
now finally the grip
this finger position is for backhand net kill
not for backhand drive
backhand drive should be like this
in this way this can be possible
so you can move your wrist there same direction easily
but if you do that
like this, then on the way its cocked
you cannot go any further
so this is neutral grip
this is for backhand drive
rather than like this
this is not for backhand drive
if you do like that backhand kill grip
have a look what happens to the drive
its harder
if you do neutral grip which is that grip
I showed to you just before
then this action can be possible
step for backhand drive
in a way quite similar to backhand net kill
have a look please
ready here
initial step will be look
look
and then go
hit, some times you can do ready
and come back
so 1 2 3 4
or 1 2 3
you can use both ways
but if you are late then hit, just one step ready
if you have little bit more time
then that can be done to it
this small step and then be ready
will give you more balanced movement
and then it will give you more better shot and accurate shot
ok I will hit shuttle with this steps
have a look please
ready
1 2 3 4
wrong one, no 1, stand shuttle comes
just go
and one step back
very slow, as you can see
relax, start
again
1 2 3 4
1 2
take shuttle away from your body
you can make much stronger shot
so when you are ready
put your racket away from your body
so that will be possible
from here shuttle comes here
your racket goes straight and hit it
rather than
you ready like this and you go
and hit like this
can you see again
if you do ready like that
it will be quicker
ready
there
but if you are ready like this
then likely make bigger swings
like this
and like this
so away, before you hit hold and hit
which is this
hold and hit
hold hit
that one
I hope you find something interesting and enjoyed
thank you
