  • All good advice, but DONT shasset(sp?). Run on the court, its much quicker.

  • you want to shuffle around the court and use proper footwork because if you just run around the court aimlessy then your like a chicken with its head cut off you dont ave proper foot work. there are situations where running is better like from back to front in a straight motion but rarly you do need proper footowork.

  • that shouldnt be the case though a forehand smash should be faster than a backhand. a backhand smash your not able to use your body to the same effect as you are when you do a forehand smash and that allows you to hit a harder forehand smash.

  • Lol. Last class, I was trainign my backhand clear. My teacher said: want a tip?

    I answer yes.

    He said: you whip your wrist to osoon and throug hyour motion, whip it later. Do it slower if you can't do it full speed.

    As I stepped my foot in the back choir, just move my racket very slowly, but whipped later. OMG it traveleld the whole shit and very high.

    LOL, my best clear was made in slow-mo. Thsi confirms: no power, only motion.

  • nice vid

  • Definitely my weakest shot, too many times I clear from the back, but only into the smash zone, I can't seem to generate the power so my technique must be way off. I think though tis down to my moverment and placement on court so am rarely in the right position to start. Are there any vids about tips for placement and movement on court in doubles?

  • The female's clear is actually a lot better, she generates much more power from her wrist. Nathan Robertson (the dude) has less wrist power, and a big armswing.

  • i thought this was a vid on how to backhand slap a person.........oops wrong vid

  • i can backhand but not as good as this. I dont know when should I backhand? Its hard
