Get more Backhand Power - 6 steps to follow

[@johnarnold3241]

Thomas's superior muscle memory and proper technique is so ingrained from years of play that he actually has a difficult time mimicking terrible backhand technique when showcasing the wrong way to hit. It's hilarious and a testament to what I aspire to become in my backhand shots. Great video, tusind tak!

it's a good video, very thorough. i especially like the observation near the end about similarity between the stick smash and backhand clear. i'm not a big fan of the stick smash, though, as a mens' doubles player, i do use it when necessary. nor, as a mens' doubles player am i a big fan of the overhead backhand, because it is largely useless in mens doubles, though it has great utility in singles. william's demonstration @7:50 is excellent the most valuable part of this video is about defense, which is common to every discipline in the the sport. players who ask about backhand clear generally have one thing in mind, and that is they hope they can hit powerful shots without having to deeply engage their legs. that is why they dream of a powerful backhand clear. it is better for me not to teach these people backhand clear at all, and instead to teach the leg work and athleticism required to explosively turn your body and move super-fast into your backhand corner, getting well behind the shuttle and attacking with your forehand. when you have mastered that, you probably already have a decent backhand clear and dont even know why i commented on an earlier video on the clear stroke, which i noted left out the foundation of clear (and smash and drop), which begins at the floor. i look forward to the video you that you mentioned will address that. it's sometimes said that intermediate players have decent mastery of basic technique but advanced players incorporate tactics into the technique, but i think this is a bit off the mark. the main difference between intermediate and advanced players, which you can spot almost right away, is the way they use the floor. intermediate players are focussed on the waist up, and are reluctant to deeply engage the legs or to generate explosive power with the legs. advanced players are into their legs, constantly preloading them and allowing energy to flow smoothly and efficiently from the floor all the way through legs, hips, torso, chest, arm, pronation (or supination), grip, and lower body follow-through put simply, intermediate players play with their dominant arm. advanced players play with their legs

Happy that you enjoyed the video! We promised that the ground forces video was on the way, and it is. It's the next one on the way after this one! We're happily a bit busy right now with a project in India, but we are getting the video out as fast as possible

It's our pleasure! Thanks for watching

[@zorqis]

Nice buildup of the technique. A perfect summary, very useful.

[@BadmintonFamly]

We love to hear it. Footwork and ground forces up next!

[@williambrndum3452]

This was such a fun video to shoot. More bloopers than I can count

[@BadmintonFamly]

Bloopers video coming in???

[@garyVass-z6v]

This was extremely useful and amazing. THanks.

[@BadmintonFamly]

We absolutely love to hear it

[@garyVass-z6v]

Will you be doing a similar video for forehand power ?

[@williambrndum3452]

Consider watching our last video! We talked about the clear in that video, but the same main principles applies to the forearm. The you can go watch a video on a specific shot after that, that is of interest. The next couple of videos coming out won't be on the forearm power specifically, since we just put of the one focussing on the clear

[@redwanbabe]

No one ever told the about WHIP BACK one. This one is very very important! Impressive coach. Thank you. ❤

[@BadmintonFamly]

[@OfficialZevi]

God video Thomas

[@BadmintonFamly]

Happy to do it

[@vijayt571]

Awesome tips.. keep doing such valuable videos Can you do a video on how to manage net drops

[@BadmintonFamly]

We love to hear it! Can you expand on the idea behind "managing net drops"? Does this refer on how to tactically use them yourself? Or how to read and react to other peoples net drops? Or is it more with a technical mindset on how to hit different net drops variations?

[@vijayt571]

@BadmintonFamly how to pickup drops that are sliding from the net? We see players picking up from the bottom and shuttle flys other side ? How to do a drop at center, edges and when opponent is far and when opponent is near to net

[@wah704]

Hope you plan on organising the summer camp in 2026 as well, can't make it next year 🥲

[@williambrndum3452]

You Bet we do👏💪

[@BadmintonFamly]

Just like William said ;)

The best part of this channel has always been the "DNO'TS" part, but the hardest part is separating the do's and don'ts when we are practicing, which you explained better now. 🏸👍

[@BadmintonFamly]

Good to hear. Which part of the way it was presented here helped to explain it better?

[@Himmil-Hana]

whip back is not the proactive. just step 1-5 and loose after touching will make the back. it needs more feeling right.

[@EmmanuelAnonuevo-jp9hz]

First

[@BadmintonFamly]

Very fast 😄

[@sggr7708]

Wrong !
