Types Of Backhand Badminton Drives..

› Another Type of Drive

Often called the ‘Danish wipe’ or ‘Swedish swish’ these are a cross between the drive and lob. Played from the back of the court, the shuttle is allowed to drop to waist height. Drive action is used but instead of the flat swing, the racket is swept down then up under the shuttle to loft it right to the baseline. Use plenty of ‘wipe’, body action, and ‘swish’, wrist action. Its disadvantages compared with the overhead clear are that by letting the shuttle drop, downward angle and variety of shot are sacrificed. Worse still your opponent is given more time!

› Overhead Backhand Shots

The most elegant and apparently effortless of shots as the power ones rely largely on the use of the wrist and timing. But they need a commensurate amount of practice. Clear, drop-shot and smash can all be played as the forehand.

Some old principles: So, pivoting on your left foot, almost turn your back on the net (though still watching the shuttle carefully over your shoulder) and point your right foot to the left hand, back corner ‘box’.

To play best shots in badminton the string of badminton racket should be proper and properly fitted.

At the same time, right hand yet again to left shoulder, arms bent, elbow up, wrist cocked so that the racket-head is roughly on a level with the small of your back. Bend the knees slightly, spiral the body upwards, snap the arm straight, un cocks the wrist and make an upward impact just in front of the head. Since so much of the power of the shot is in the wrist snap, this must be very exactly timed neither too early nor too late – but within the ‘zip’ area 0.5 (18in) each side of the impact point.

For the smash, the impact is 0.5m in front of the head. And as the backhand smash is very much less powerful than the forehand you should not attempt it from further back than mid-court, from where it can be an efficient snap-shot. As an alternative from deeper in court, there is still the drop-shot, in which the wrist is gently rolled over to make an impact in front of the head.
