What Destroys Your Backhand Clear (13) Facing wrong direction
I see
many club players
facing completely wrong direction
when they are taking backhand clear
for example
let's say
my base is like that
I am playing that way
net is there
so this player is ready
opponent hits shot to his backhand side
shuttle is flying behind of him
watch this players face
so he is ready
shuttle goes he turns
and then face that way
he is hitting the other side
but he is facing that way and hitting like that
so his body is there
his arm is behind him
racket is behind him
and hit the other side
many problems
number 1
because he faces completely wrong way
when he is hitting the other way
he doesn't have idea where shuttle will go
he is hitting with complete guess
number 2
because shuttle is completely behind him
his body is here
shuttle is here
how can he generate
power to hit the other side
he has to only rely on his wrist here
this is not strong enough to hit backhand clear
in this way
number 3 problem
let's say he hits drop shot
because he can hit clear like this
he hits drop shot
now
watch the time he has to get ready
hit
and then he should turn and then ready
it takes too long
shuttle will go already the other direction
when he is coming shuttle will go already
because he has to turn too big distance
too big directions
so one more
this is not the ideal way
not the right way to hit backhand clear
ready shuttle goes
turn and hit it like that
he is watching over there
when he is hitting the other side
like that
but surprisingly
many club players are doing this way
this is the way I believe
this player should do
ready
shuttle goes back
instead of turn and face this way
he has to move backwards and hit side
so shuttle should be side
even its late
so he can see it
he can feel it, the other side
this way
he is watching it just little bit
he can see where shuttle goes
compare
this way
or that way
number 2
because shuttle is side of me
I can use power
compare with like this
number 3
because I moved back
and made shuttle side of me
after the shot
I am ready in just one step
but if I do that
it takes 2 times or 3 times longer
to get ready for the next shot
ok I am ready like that
shuttle has been hit
I turn
and face that way
shuttle is behind me
here
ok watch the power
so let's say I drop
here
I drop
I still cannot see the other side
I hit it
with complete hope
I hope this shot
goes straight some where over there
I hope
this shot goes cross somewhere over there
so I hit with hope
now power
shuttle goes he turns face the other side
his body is here
racket is behind him
now he wanted to hit long clear
he has to do that
watch again
there
like this
like that
he has to completely rely on that action
because he can't use his arm and body
because shuttle is behind him
he is facing over there
now compare
if this player changes
the way he is moving to the shuttlecock
from turn and face the other way to
move back more
make side of it
yeah
so let's say I am here
shuttle is side of me here
then I can
here
do more power
instead of
like that
and number 3 point
I turn, I face completely the other direction
I hit
and then I have to get ready
it takes too long
but if I take shuttlecock side
then I am ready
the most important thing is
ready shuttle goes back
how he is moving to the shuttlecock
8 or 9 out of 10 club players
when shuttle goes they turn and follow that way
watch this
here
bang
they turn it
and then go
this should be changed
here
bang
he has to go back and hit side
it is better
to do that
he has to take shuttlecock little bit late
is better than take it high
early in that way
because he has no vision to the other side
he cannot use his power
after the shot he will be completely late
to get ready for the next attack
so please try
so ready, bang and go that way hit
instead
of turn and hit this way
ok watch
so players do this way
ok clear
like that
ok watch one more
he is ready
shuttle goes and turns like this
so he faces there
this should be changed
this way
ready
here
there
you are ready
let shuttle go
you go side
Compare
your opponent is over there
you are hitting the other side
it is better
your eyes
your body
more remains that way
that way
than
like that
