As with all power shots, racquet face, sqaurely applied will provide maximum force. Timing is everything, rather than strength and that's where technique really plays its part. You also need to make sure you're playing with the correct speed of shuttle, something the pros don't even need to consider. A good backhand begins from the feet, as you must be able to move well and get into position as part of your preparation for the shot. I'm covering backhand clear in video 3 of my Online Coaching Program. We will be filming videos 2 & 3 within 2 weeks. Keep sending in your comments. Paul Thanks for your comments.

I've been coached several ways to use the backhand and the way i find most effective was what was posted on top. But one thing i find is, when you do your backhand with elbow bent, you are much more susceptible to getting tennis elbow, golf elbow if the wrong force is exerted. Now i prefer using the turn of the wrist rather than actually using my arm unless if it's a forced smash. I also find an important factor is the contact of the bird with your racquet face. If you 'slice' the bird, the bird isn't going to go anywhere for a clear. Hi Paul. I’ve been coached several ways to use the backhand and the way i find most effective was what was posted on top.

There are so many causes of a poor or weak backhand. Sometimes having a simple check list like the 7 causes helps eliminate the possibles to leave the root cause. I'll be filming a video on backhand clear for my Online Coaching Program very soon, so it's going to be very interesting how that is received. Paul Jordan

I think that a majority of the time, a player will over-think the technique of the shot and forget to take it as high as possible. Remember! The lower you take the shot, the more effort you have to put in to get it to the back of the court! Once you can train yourself to hit a higher backhand, you'll naturally do that in-game and THEN you can concentrate on your technique!
