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
_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.
Just getting into the game again after a 40 year lay off. Never had any lessons. These tutorials are a great eye opener
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.
Wow, not seen such a good tutorial on the backhand on youtube ever. Congrats! Keep up the good work!
I absolutely love the enthusiasm and passion you have for the sport. Greetings from Malaysia.
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!
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.
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.
300k will have Taufik backhands! :D
600k now😃
885k already
1M views but no one plays backhand like Taufik yet :P
1.1mil
Hahahaa but not better..
Nice in-depth look into addressing the backhand clear issue.
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.
you have talent on teaching..great delivery. clear as crystal.
One of the best Badminton channels on TH-cam!
Antiquark 100% agree
Badminton Trick Shots You are no less!
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!!
Awesome advice. Thanks so much. I've been playing for years and didn't know about the difference in the grip. Transformative, thanks.
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.
Outstanding tutorial - can't wait to try this tonight. Been playing badminton for over 20 years, but this has always been my weakness.
Superb explanation! So much clarity and everything you say just makes sense! Keep going
Finally i found the right tutorial.. Thanx bro
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 👍
Best video explanation on backhand. Very complete. Covering the important idea of not using backhand.
Seriously... The grip worked for me... Thanks a lot... And keeping doing...
I play competitively, section 1 and this is a great tip for beginners! Well done mate 👏👏
Thank you so much..... This helped me a lot , because I was struggling with my backhand shot and I sprained my wrist....👍👍👍👍
Very good video. No wasted frames whatsoever. Thank you very much.
I was in the court next to you playing badminton with my friends when you were recording this video :O.
thanks ! it's getting even more interesting since you started doing this kind of video :)
Thanks dude, it helped me a lot otherwise I have to play backhand drop shots only
Thank you for this tutorial! Very informative and thorough explanation. New subscriber here from the Philippines. :)
You are my new favourite online badminton coach.
Same here😂
@Mitchell Sin & @Lais : Mine too
Thanks for the free ebook. Its very handy and I have learnt that I always slice the shuttle which isn't right.
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.
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.
Very nice explanation of the technique. Good Job!
Love watching your videos very very helpful. So very well explained and made. At 48 learning better techniques thanks to TH-cam Thanks a ton
Superb explanation, especially the part on improving your strengths
Very nice video. Good job in explaining the mechanics. Looking forward to your footwork tutorial
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
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
Awesome lucid explanation.Gonna try that tommorrow.
Fantastic !tq..👍👏 the tip on overcoming ur weakness into strength is a killer one.👍. Now I can improve power on my backhand shot.
This was so useful for my coursework thank you!!!!!
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)
Awesome clear advice - thanks!!
Excellent and informative tutorial. Thanks!
this tutorial seems to be appreciatable. good work
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 TH-cam! Super helpful, to the point, great examples and I can clearly hear you speak. Great videos, thank you for the information.
Thanks Nicola!
Just re-watched this after a year or so and what a fantastic tutorial it is, very well explained and demonstrated, really appreciate it 👍
Wow never understood backhand better like this
Good job
Excellent fine points made about the grip and the contact point....
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
Super technic...I have been facing a major problem with this backhand shot..but now u made it easier# thank you
Thanks Jonathan for the awesome lesson.

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL. THANKS
Thank you so much for your time and effort
Thanks ! These tips actually worked!😃✋🏻
Nice video, can;t wait to try it out
Thank you for this tutorial backhand video
No one ever told me about pronation. Thank you so much!
The was a really good session. Thanks!
Thank you Sir. For sharing big blessing. Big teaching.
God bless.
🙏🙏
great video Jonathan, thanks
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.
What a great and useful tutorial!! Keep up w/ the good work brother.... GBU🙏
Salam dari Indonesia.
Thankyou! You're awesome! Waiting for your footwork video :)
10/10 clarity. Nice video!
Brilliant! Thanks so much. Yes please for a footwork vid. My ankles have suffered enough.
Crystal clear explanation!
I just watched this on backhand shots, my power in backhand shot will snap the racquet at the handle, I had to turn down my strength, in saying this, when you mention the diagonal grip as to the standard serving grip to create the backhand, this makes perfect sense, thank you ever so much for enlightening me on a more deft way of producing a clean way of a back hand, I run a small badminton club in Lismore NSW at the Southern Cross University, I will in future try to keep the players informed on better ways in playing this excellent game, as a person once said, " Badminton is a ballet with a racquet", enjoy your swift game.
Absolute gem of a video! I learned alot haha
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
Thx coach keep it up.. some of us cant afford training sessions... you are my favourite badminton coaching on youtube, from malaysia
Great video
I think I love this channel !! 👍
Great explanation! Keep up the good work
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 🇮🇳

Excellent video!
Loved the video
your knowledge on badminton is crazy
A great video. Thanks
*swift* ok you smooth criminal, I've liked the video
Daniel Gregory. It's nice that you got a lot out of Swift Badminton School's video here. What I'd like to point out here on your post is you must have a clear understanding of several obvious differences. There are a few commonalities but a lot more differences between Tennis and Badminton. Obviously the one that stands out is the nature of the projectile (shuttlecock) is that it has an unique flight pattern. Apparently it was the inspiration for NASAs Space Shuttle. The trajectory of the shuttlecock is that it can travel extremely fast (up to 306mph). Yet on the other extreme a whisper quiet/soft shot that defies measuring in order to put a number on it. That's the drop push at the net going directly downward.
Considering the vast difference between the two, there is a range of speeds that's so abrupt it's just very hard to read. Especially for someone unfamiliar with competitive indoor Badminton as depicted in this You Tube video as an example. It requires a certain mind set to grasp all of this. Two things you can do to arrive at the clarity of a level of understanding to play it flawlessly and comfortably. One is to watch as many videos of different top level athletes and draw conclusions of your own. Both singles and doubles. The second thing is to absorb what you've noted and put into practice what you're sure you understand you need to do. Every shot has to have a purpose and a destination.
On the backhand 'clears' from the backcourt, positioning is crucial. So, your footwork has to be a result of your keen anticipation of where that shuttle is going. Now your weight transfer and execution of the shot, using the shoulder turn, arm extension and elbow and wrist bend must be timed perfectly to clear it to the backcourt of your opponent. It has to arc high as well as deep. Hope I didn't manage to lose you here. Drilling over and over again and again is the way to get into a rhythm that's effortless and repetitive. The proper grip, angle of the racket face and weight transfer are things that'll factor in. After each shot, you must have impeccable balance and after hitting literally dozens of backhand clears it will fall in place and you'll understand now that proper technique has become a sort of muscle memory.
All drills for different shots build that muscle memory after a while. It will become instinctive in nature and you'll have improved incrementally in clarity of understanding all of the subtle nuances and in proper and flawless execution of the shots of this amazing sport. Now you're ready to compete with like skilled players. I sensed that you're excited to learn and improve to be the best player you can be. You will as long as that fire of commitment burns inside of you. Gluck and Cheers! 👌
Just a suggestion: It would be a lot better if you demonstrate everything you say more, than explaining it a lot. Great video nonetheless.
This is the best backhand tutorial videos in my opinion. Plus, there are tons of backhand demonstration out there which are similar to one another. One of my favourite is Viktor Axelsen's video which may suit your style more.
Thanks for the tips.
My days I learnt so much in such a short time
