So many of you have emailed me asking for a video on backhands. So here it is! In this video you'll learn the one thing you need to implement to start playing consistently powerful backhand clears. Once you learn this, backhand smashes and backhands drops will also come so much easier.
Shoutout to my patrons. Sadly I couldn't include you in this video since it was filmed before the patreon launced, but you'll all get a mention in the next one.

I cant believe i never worked this out. As an ex Tennis player, i found i was bringing a lot of my Tennis mechanics over into badminton, smashes were like tennis server, and back hand power was all in the arm and waist. I have been really struggling getting any power on back court back hands as i have been trying to use my wrist, which almost always ends up in a floaty shot that just clears the net and gives the opponent a free shot. THIS SINGLE VIDEO i believe has massively improved my game, i cant wait until my next match to try it out!! Thank you even so much.
Daniel Gregory glad it helped!

I found that clarity in thinking/understanding really helps you get the hang of Badminton. When going from one sport to another, mental acuity is crucial. Crucial in order to perform at peak but more importantly, to avoid injury.
wrong technic - wrong coaching !
4:48, I think you hit the invisible shuttle
Omg i actually never noticed that until now, thats pretty awesome
4:48 could timing ever be more accurate than that.
nice one
Yeah...so elegant and graceful in execution...looks so effortless
Best tutorial about backhand i have found on youtube. This helped me hit my best back hand yet. The contact point height, straight arm and grip are the secret to backhand and ofcourse practice. Thanks Jonathan.
Just getting into the game again after a 40 year lay off. Never had any lessons. These tutorials are a great eye opener
_How to play backhand like Taufik_
> You can't
Yes we can
Hahaha Taufik really spends a lot of time training his backhand, plus his forearm strength is just dope... He's the Backhand God
y just like complaint
I am 100 like
@@BundaAira After all this time there has never been a player that has a backhand as powerful and versatile as Taufik's.
Wow, not seen such a good tutorial on the backhand on youtube ever. Congrats! Keep up the good work!
300k will have Taufik backhands! :D
600k now😃

Hahahaa but not better..
I absolutely love the enthusiasm and passion you have for the sport. Greetings from Malaysia.
this guy is awesome. finally all the little things that's given me confusion about the proper/best backhand technique has been answered! yaaaaaaaaaayy
Agreed. It’s the finer details that helps the most.
Nice in-depth look into addressing the backhand clear issue.
Badminton is in my blood. Very nice video and clearly explained. I'd like to say some thing I consider important for new players. Disconnect from everything you know about backyard outdoor Badminton.
Once you get indoors, pay attention to these points: Get used to the setting, lighting, floor, sound etc.
Once you've identified these work on hitting the shuttle early. Don't wait for it to come to you, instead go to it and play proactively not reactively. I order to be proficient in doing this you must anticipate early. So work on figuring out where it's coming and the best way to attack it. The best form of a good defense is a great offense. Quickness, both mental and physical dexterity are crucial to being a good Badminton player. Thanks for this video. Cheers!
One of the best Badminton channels on RUclips!
Antiquark 100% agree
Badminton Trick Shots You are no less!
Awesome advice. Thanks so much. I've been playing for years and didn't know about the difference in the grip. Transformative, thanks.
Thanks dude, it helped me a lot otherwise I have to play backhand drop shots only
you have talent on teaching..great delivery. clear as crystal.
This is exactly the shot I was desperately trying to improve. I don’t know if it was simple luck, but I’m so glad this video popped up.....and thank you. Supination - I’m going for it!!
Finally i found the right tutorial.. Thanx bro
I play competitively, section 1 and this is a great tip for beginners! Well done mate 👏👏
Super excited to try out supination of the forearm tonight. During coaching when I was younger I was made aware of pronation and supination techniques, though I actively ignored them because I couldn't be bothered to remember which was which... Crazy. I noticed, just sitting here practising with my arm that pronation of the arm when playing a forehand clear almost comes as a result of using the correct grip (in order to hit the shuttle dead-on with the strings you have to rotate it during the swing), so I'm hoping that by using the correct grip it should come more naturally.
A little request: in the footwork video, could you make a small point about receiving deep shots to the forehand? Especially off of my serve, if someone lifts it there (and I can't intercept) I really struggle to get back to it. I know some of my friends also struggle, in particular one who plays county. Thanks man.
Great video as always, really nailed the balance between keeping it short and detailed, without over-explaining 👍
This made so much sense.. Now I dont feel guilty about not having a backhand as good as my forehand which I have felt bad about forever. Thank you. Have subscribed and will follow you.
I was in the court next to you playing badminton with my friends when you were recording this video :O.
I always struggle with overhead backhands because I never seem to be able to generate enough power.This video finally helped me recognize the mistakes in my stroke as I was only going for a high speed on the racket.I can't wait to use it.
The Basics always important. Backhand can be a weapon as well. If you can make accurate offensive plays with it, it becomes a great tool for extended rally's.
Outstanding tutorial - can't wait to try this tonight. Been playing badminton for over 20 years, but this has always been my weakness.
Thank you so much..... This helped me a lot , because I was struggling with my backhand shot and I sprained my wrist....👍👍👍👍
Thank you for this tutorial! Very informative and thorough explanation. New subscriber here from the Philippines. :)
Seriously... The grip worked for me... Thanks a lot... And keeping doing...
thanks ! it's getting even more interesting since you started doing this kind of video :)
Love watching your videos very very helpful. So very well explained and made. At 48 learning better techniques thanks to RUclips Thanks a ton
Great tutorial! Good luck to my next opponents ;)
Badminton Trick Shots your opponent learn this too he3

Nice explanation. Many players, however, fail to understand the importance of the racket foot. Try to hit the shuttle (right handed player) when the heel of racket (right) foot touches the court (after you twist your hips toward the backhand court and ready to approach the shuttle). It helps not only in generating more power but also in faster recovery. Hope you get it. It's a bit difficult to explain than a video. Thanks.
kgpnerd Thanks for the tip
You are my new favourite online badminton coach.
Same here😂
@Mitchell Sin & @Lais : Mine too
Best video explanation on backhand. Very complete. Covering the important idea of not using backhand.
Very nice explanation of the technique. Good Job!
Nice video. Really good content, you should make more of this kinds. Subscribed
Awesome clear advice - thanks!!
This was so useful for my coursework thank you!!!!!
Superb explanation! So much clarity and everything you say just makes sense! Keep going
Very nice video. Good job in explaining the mechanics. Looking forward to your footwork tutorial
Great Video, Keep up the good work mate!
Thankyou! You're awesome! Waiting for your footwork video :)
The grip was well explained. In most of the vidieos I have watched they say back hand grip not this modified back hand grip. Pronation is the key and i really think it is goint to improve my back hand. Thanks for the video.
I've recently started badminton socially and I'm not the greatest player. Thought I would have a look online to get some ideas. By far you have some of the best videos on RUclips! Super helpful, to the point, great examples and I can clearly hear you speak. Great videos, thank you for the information.
Thanks Nicola!
Good job Jonathan! I think that explanation was very good and I’m sure it will benefit a lot of people in the badminton community. For me, I have a rather funny situation in terms of backhand. My backhand is immensely powerful but I have a slight problem, I don’t know how to aim it 😅, Usually it goes out but my opponent is still flustered as to how the heck I can generate so much power, turns out most of the things you showed, I already do so that’s a somewhat relief (My movement is still rubbish lol).
Maybe for the future, you can show how to control a backhand? It’s already hard enough to generate power for a backhand but when i face away from the net, I’m pretty much blind and rely solely on instinct. Nonetheless, awesome job! (I didn’t want to communicate any ideas until you finished the one you were currently working on so I’ve remained fairly silent in chat)
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 Love you
i seen many videos about backhand but completely understand the grip and footwork but this video help me a lot
Wow no one ever explained this secret to me, i saw others playing this way but I wasn't able to figure it out. Thanks a lot, finally clicked a notification bell.
this tutorial seems to be appreciatable. good work
Fantastic !tq..👍👏 the tip on overcoming ur weakness into strength is a killer one.👍. Now I can improve power on my backhand shot.
Superb explanation, especially the part on improving your strengths
Thank you so much for the tutorial. Good Job Jonathan
👍👍👍
Very good video. No wasted frames whatsoever. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the free ebook. Its very handy and I have learnt that I always slice the shuttle which isn't right.
Nice video, can;t wait to try it out
nice tutorial. please do a video on jump smash!
No one ever told me about pronation. Thank you so much!
EXCELLENT TUTORIAL. THANKS
I'm thinking of starting some casual badminton soon, but I have no idea how to play the game. Could you please do a video on basic rules and training tips for beginners?
Then make smooth Ur footwork
The was a really good session. Thanks!
Awesome lucid explanation.Gonna try that tommorrow.
Thx coach keep it up.. some of us cant afford training sessions... you are my favourite badminton coaching on youtube, from malaysia
Great video
Nice video , thanks for the easy tutorial
Thanks Jonathan for the awesome lesson.
Just re-watched this after a year or so and what a fantastic tutorial it is, very well explained and demonstrated, really appreciate it 👍
What a great and useful tutorial!! Keep up w/ the good work brother.... GBU🙏
Salam dari Indonesia.
Another great video Jonathan. I wanted to revisit this video because I wanted to work on my backhand a lot lately. Something that I thought that would have been great to mention however is a common mistakes among newer players regarding the overhead backhand technique. You mentioned that players should use forearm supination in order to generate power, as well as using the wrist, but personally I've been seeing lots of playess that make the mistake of trying to create power from the shoulder, but it's just something small I think could've been in there somewhere. :)
That's what happens when you don't apply the wave principle..
The shoulder rotate, then the elbow engage, then the supination happen instead of moving all parts at the same time.
The relaxed body during that motion ensures the power is transferred correctly to the last part.
Wow never understood backhand better like this
Good job
Great explanation! Keep up the good work
Wow thank you for your wonderful message at the end of the video!
Agree!
My days I learnt so much in such a short time
Absolute gem of a video! I learned alot haha
*swift* ok you smooth criminal, I've liked the video
Great video jonathon, it will surely help me in my game.
Great video keep up your good work really thoroughly explained!
Super technic...I have been facing a major problem with this backhand shot..but now u made it easier# thank you
Thank you for this tutorial backhand video
For a long time I've been so obsessed with perfecting my serve (my weakness) not knowing the fundamental techniques
More content on serve techniques please, whether both singles and doubles
Brilliant! Thanks so much. Yes please for a footwork vid. My ankles have suffered enough.
Thank you so much for your time and effort
Thanks ! These tips actually worked!😃✋🏻
Very nicely said... Superbly analyzed.
Haha, finally something that is easy to understand for us beginners!
Just a couple of notes for everyone:
There is other reason why you should take backhand shots in lower contact point than forehand overhead:
1. It allows for follow through. If your contact point is lower, your arm can still move in addition with your wrists rotation = more power. Think of it as, you have extra distance to swing your arm after contact.
2. It is easier to change the type of shot before contact. If you take a higher contact point, it is only good for overhead but it is bad for drive or drop because you need to adjust your racket angle slightly downwards, which is difficult if the shuttle is far behind. By lowering the contact point, your racket angle is still slightly upwards but you adjust the power to produce drive (same power as overhead but vertical racket angle), or drop (just lower the power a bit, same racket angle as drive), or cross drive/drop (just twist your backhand grip more but the same movement). This is better because now your opponent need to guess :p. Badminton is a mind game after all!
3. Also already stated in the video, backhand clear is best when the shuttle is far on your backhand side. Your body will naturally try to reach the shuttle in lower contact point than forehand overhead (well because you can't reach it). There's no point doing backhand clear if the shuttle is close. Just use overhead forehand clear. Nicely said there!
Then, the video you showed about Taufik doing backhand is actually for an offensive backhand drive. He is slightly closer to the net so his contact point is slightly higher so he can have more options (drive, smash or drop). If you take Taufik's video when he actually do backhand clear from far left corner, his contact point is even lower, which truly demonstrate the point you described perfectly. But, it doesn't matter, the concern is the same, take lower contact point for clear.
Lastly, for every aspiring single player out there, nowadays backhand skills is a must. There is a reason why Taufik is sooo strong in 2000 era. In that era, everyone tried to cover all shots with forehand. If you do forehand clear in backhand side, most efficiently you have to do 3 step with extra jump mixed in to catch the shuttle. With backhand clear, you can do it with 2 step without jumping. Taufik is very efficient with this even people in Indonesia says he is a lazy player (he rarely run, he just walk). He only need 2 step to reach all corner from the center. This is a huge difference in stamina saving on long rally, especially in old scoring system. More stamina means you can attack more, you can smash more, and you last longer. After everyone realizes that the most important benefit you get from learning backhand is efficient footwork, everyone starts to learn it, especially in women single.
And keep up the good work man!

Thank you for an excellent explanation Jonathan
Very well presented indeed
Thanks a lot Jonathan you really made it easy. good job 👍👍👍

Excellent and informative tutorial. Thanks!
Usually for my backhand shots are normally a disguised cross drop shot because I find them really easy to do because I can place them very accurately but I am still practicing my backhand clears because there are going up but just not far into the back line. Might need to drop the tension because of this or take the shot a little bit higher
Excellent fine points made about the grip and the contact point....
I think I love this channel !! 👍
10/10 clarity. Nice video!
Thank you I will definitely give it a go
Nice video as always man !

Being almost a beginner I don't go well with backhand much😖..but this video helped me to try and worked out 🤗😊 thank you very much_from India 🇮🇳
Thank you Sir. For sharing big blessing. Big teaching.
God bless.
🙏🙏
Nicely explained. Since I have already improved my backhand with the technique he has mentioned in the video, which I learnt from somewhere else, I can guarantee this will surely help the ones trying to improve their backhand. Do try this guys, it will be difficult in the beginning but you will see progress soon. One analogy i would like to add is that the pronation that he has mentioned for backhand is similar to opening a door with the round door knob.
A door handle can twist both ways
@@daniel74443 dont you know which way to hit?
mate , this vid was really great . Thx a lot !
Like , i can't wait to try this on court , i tried it just the motion and it seem so clear in my mind right know . Nobody in so many years could explain me the motion of supination with the correct word and mouvement . Can't wait monday to try this out , thx mate !
Great tutorial!
Congrats on hitting 1 million views! 😜👌
Crystal clear explanation!
thanks... I always don't have enough power to backhand to backcourt... i will try it out
I am already a professional Badminton player in my Country but I really like to see your videos because everything is so energetic. Keep up the good work!
Your name is?
have you won any championship match yet?
That has nothing to do with how well you can coach. Some top players can be lousy coaches.
Also good analytical coaches are just as good as the top players. It spend more time coaching and so don't always compete.
Understanding!
