Badminton Backhand Drive and Around the Head Drive

 

The badminton backhand drive is an aggressive shot. It is a very simple and easy shot. When it is executed, the shuttlecock flies at net height in a flat angle or trajectory. The badminton backhand drive is a very common shot in doubles games. This is due to the fact that it is ideal to keep the shuttlecock at net height in doubles in order to prevent giving the opponents the advantage. Fast time reaction is required in executing this shot because if a player executes a badminton backhand drive, the opponent will do the same. You will then have an unending rally of drives until someone decides to lift the shuttlecock. The main objective of the badminton backhand drive is to pressure the opponent by letting the shuttlecock fly at fast speeds.
