How To Play The Reverse Slice Drop Shot: A Step-By-Step Badminton Tutorial!

[@michaelzafirov6149]

I'm a right handed player, but seeing you guys also give so much attention to the opposite hands (that you guys use) like showing right hands and left hands, really shows the quality of your videos! I appreciate it alot!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you so much Michael 🤗😃

[@iodoethane]

Great timing! I've just been thinking about learning this shot 🙏

[@BadmintonInsight]

Perfect, hopefully this video helps! Good luck 😀

[@muhdsazlly4510]

I managed to mastered this technique after a year learning it. When people ask me how to do it, I dont know how to explain it. Now, that both of you have made this video. I will ask them to learn from you both. 😅

[@abhijitdeshmukh895]

A really really good explanation of the slice drop shot and actually it has been my signature shot for over 1 year now

[@WanderVagabond]

Excellent clear explanation of how to do this shot. This along with the stick smash I feel are some of the most underrated shots in doubles.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you so much Mike!

[@denzelnolet]

Was watching some old vids and then this one. Production quality has drastically improved!!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Haha thanks a lot - that’s great to hear! We’re glad you’ve recognised it and that we’re not wasting our time 😂

[@jmpettey]

Thank you for showing right-handed demonstrations!!

[@BadmintonInsight]

You are very welcome - glad you found them useful!

Thank you so much 🏸

[@andreaspanz4581]

Yes!! At least a perfect explanation and practice recommendations for the shot I'm most of the time uncapable to perform... thank you!!😃😄🎉

[@BadmintonInsight]

You’re very welcome - hope it helps you 😀

[@asmitajadhav7411]

Thanks for showing it both left and right handed

[@shoebbeawarwalaclass7649]

Definitely a very good shot I neeeeddd to learn now🙂😀

[@BadmintonInsight]

It is! Good luck 😃

[@rb-ex]

excellent treatment of this topic with lots of detail. the most impressive example of a cross-court reverse slice i've seen cuts underneath the shuttle with an almost horizontal slicing action (otherwise prep and follow-through are exactly the same as your demonstration), the result is a fast but rapidly decaying trajectory to the net corner that kinda bends around the net and seems to just fall out of the air from there. the professional player i know who does this can hit it consistently in matches. it's such an awesome shot that it's difficult to make a quality reply even when you know it's coming, and many players i've spoken with who've faced the reverse slice cross-court drop shot from this player agree it's the most difficult to return drop shot they've encountered. i've practiced it that way many times but still have trouble with consistency, and find it much easier to be consistent with the shot as you demonstrate it. but although i haven't mastered that slice with the horizontal action, practicing it has given me the skill of being able to finely adjust the amount of slice (forward or reverse) by adjusting the racket angle at the moment of contact so i can combine smashing and slicing action in any proportion, which i find useful to vary attacks. i'm never even sure what to call these hybrid slice-smashes, but for me that is an added use of the slice drop shot, that the technique can be carried over and blended into variations on the smash. thank you for all your hard work and beautifully produced instructional videos

[@marco_zonqiun]

im so happy this only took me a week to learn and apply in my matches, this was a total game changer

Another great video 👍. One of my favourite shots and has won me a countless number of points over my 45 years playing this wonderful game. Love your channel and I am still learning and trying to implement some of the techniques that you demonstrate so well (as much as my old bones will allow 😬). Keep up the good work.

thank you for the tutorial, I discovered this shot accidentally during practice since young, but never had anyone explaining it to me properly like in this video. My accuracy with this shot was never great, hehe but it was really effective, coz it often fooled me too. Hopefully I can fix it after understanding it, and play it with more confidence.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Hopefully this tutorial can help you make those small improvements 😃👍🏼

caroline westley taught me how to play this shot. Genuinly the best shot in badminton if done correctly❤️

[@ashleypereira]

Great reverse slice drop shot tips🏸🏸🏸

[@ari-athbadminton0301]

There is a HUGE skill difference between the slices you presented and the ones I commonly see or use when hitting with a panhandle grip, some beginners or intermediate are stuck with that grip. More than Half the time I hit the frame of the racket using your professional method but with the noob grip the reverse slice has no problem reaching where I want. Attempting the shot in the late game with the forehand grip is particularly risky to me so I appreciate the tutorial.

[@glitch3256]

Nice Videos and detailed explanation. This is what we were learning at training so just a refresh

[@BadmintonInsight]

Glad you enjoyed it! Hope it helps 😀

[@lakshay-musicalscientist2144]

Hey Greg and Jenny! I have a video request for you - Could you make a compilation with all different shots like forehead/backhand drop , serve , clear , smash , late backhand/forehand , slices , behind the back , brap , etc with 5-10 seconds given to each shot and if us viewers could refer to that back again for the perfect technique trying to copy you and you would also get many views from a single viewer , would also increase you watch time! Please consider doing this😀

[@BadmintonInsight]

Interesting suggestion, thanks!

[@nsonlim9101]

Thank you for the clear tutorial. Can you also make a tutorial on straight slice? Have been struggling to play a straight slice shot.

[@fabricew3972]

[@shuttlersbadminton]

Thank you I will try to learn this deceptive shot and use it after 2 days in my tournament

[@BadmintonInsight]

Awesome to hear! Good luck in the tournament 😄

[@elvenpath7]

Awesome video as always ! Quick question: For reverse straight slice should I strive to use same height of point of contact as for smash (or same as for reverse cross with straight arm) ? I'm asking because for some reason, it's much easier for me to hit straight reverse shot with a bit lower point of contact (and arm slightly bent).

[@yoshi01_10]

Thanks for the in depth tutorial! Now I finally understand why my reverse drop shots always fail to get over the net.

[@BadmintonInsight]

You’re very welcome! Hopefully you can correct them now 😀

This is another very good video. Could you do a video for the opposite slice please, ie from right to left if you are a right hander. I find slicing from left side to right as per your video natural but from right to left very difficult.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks! 😃 Yes we want to do the “normal” slice tutorial soon!

[@perindu1377]

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks 😀❤️

[@JLneonhug]

I have a couple of questions... 1) straight reverse slice, what is the aim/deception of this? To make the swing look like a more powerful stroke but actually it's steep angled shot? Or is it more of a tight loop/dead drop kind of shot? 2) The straight reverse slice stroke seems to look like your brushing the shuttle face on (horizontal?) and slice 'across' or is it more of an angled 'cut'? Ie over pronate angle when contacting the shuttle? Or, does it depend on position you are vs location you want to hit? I find it hard to find the sweet spot between overpronation then cutting too thin and not enough and becomes a half smash...

[@BadmintonInsight]

1. Yes to either make it look like you're hitting harder or cross court! 2. Yes it's more of an angled cut as you would say. It takes time experimenting around with it! Hope that helps :-)

[@antikiste740]

hi team, do you recommand Brave Sword or Aura ? depends of the player... so lets think it generally

[@hxy265]

Love the tutorial! Do you think it matters where you strike the shuttle? I noticed Zheng Siwei seems it hit it to the side of him rather than straight above him?

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you! As we said there is a rough “spectrum” of the contact point for each of the two shots. As long as you’re within this spectrum then no it doesn’t matter!

Li Z Jia is a perfect example of a drop shot

We wouldn’t recommend trying it in a tournament without any practice first! But if you do then good luck 😂 haha

[@viveknamikaze761]

@@BadmintonInsight Thank you very much for the warning 😀, luckily I play at a decent level, it's just that I tend to overpronate my forearm which gives a bit too much angle and hence goes out . Didn't realise some aspects of the shot until your video was uploaded just at the right time and hence I was thinking to apply the tips 👍. Some people just make it look so natural, it's a beautiful shot.

lately I’ve been experiencing moderate lower back pain (right sided) after every session. Any experiences with this? I’m wondering whether I’m leaning in too much or whether it’s poor footwork.

[@BadmintonInsight]

It could be a bit of both but it could also be for many other reasons! We have both had back pain in the past - the best thing is to rest and do some light stretches! The back is a difficult area to deal with!!
