Preparation position: After starting, move in the direction of the incoming ball with the backhand backhand step, with the right foot in front, the body with the back to the net, the right hand backhand grip and elbow bent on the right side of the body at shoulder height, and the eyes are fixed on the incoming ball.

Post-hit action: Hold the racket arm and wrist to extend and retract the force, then brake and retract the chest, turn the right foot to the right, and follow up on the net to return to the position.

What are the action essentials and skills of badminton backhand high and far ball? In order to help you solve this problem, I have compiled the action essentials and skills of badminton backhand high and far balls for you, I hope to help you!

Backhand high shot

Badminton's high-distance ball action is generally divided into forehand high-distance ball and backhand high-distance ball, although there is only one word difference between the two types of play, but the action of hitting the backhand high-distance ball is still different from the habitual body movements of ordinary people. For amateur players, the most difficult thing to master is probably the backhand shot, which is not solved by the position and force, and the amateur players often do not play well when playing the backhand, and fall into passivity.

Action essentials

When the opponent hits the counter ball and needs to use the backhand to return the high ball, you should quickly turn your body to the left back, take a step with your right foot to the left foot, then take a step back with your left foot, and then take a big step forward with your right foot to the left. At this point, the body is facing away from the net, the weight of the body is on the right foot, and the ball is above the right shoulder of the body as the footwork moves into place. In the footwork movement, the technique should be immediately changed from the forehand grip to the backhand grip, the upper arm is raised, the elbow is bent so that the forearm is flat in front of the chest, the racket is placed in front of the left chest, and the racket is facing upwards to complete the lead action.

The upper arm swings up quickly, the forearm swings diagonally upwards to the right, the wrist quickly stretches back and forth, the thumb presses against the handle of the racket, generating explosive force, hitting the lower part of the back of the racket with the front surface, and the center of gravity of the body shifts from the right foot to the left.

Movement skills

Grip changes need to be standardized

When preparing to hit the backhand high ball, the body is facing the net, and the positive liquid chain holds the racket, when the ball is troublesome.

When entering the backhand area, while turning and kicking, the grip method needs to be quickly changed from the forehand grip to the backhand grip, the movement should be standardized, and the finger grip should be relaxed. Turn around, pedal across, and lead the shot in one go.

As the ball flies towards the backhand area, the body quickly turns to the left back, and the right foot kicks the ground and takes a step forward to the left. At this point, the body's center of gravity should be on the right foot, and the ball is above the right shoulder of the body as the footwork moves into place. Raise your right upper arm flat, bend your elbow so that your forearm is flat on your chest, and hold the racket with your fingers relaxed.

The explosive power of the wrist

The elbow is relaxed, the wrist is down**, the forearm swing up drives the wrist to instantly move forward, the right arm is fully extended, and the fingers should hold the racket tightly, and the wrist needs to have enough explosive power when hitting the ball'Hit the lower part of the ball head-on. This is also one of my previous bottlenecks, I usually need to strengthen strength exercises, and there is basically no shortcut, after all, it is not a day's work to practice wrist explosiveness.

The point of impact is key

If the above actions are normal, if you still can't play the backhand high shot, it may be that you have not found the right point of impact, because the point of impact is the most critical step, and it is usually necessary to hit the ball at the "high point and front point". Try to wait for the ball to fly high in front of your right shoulder, so that you can combine the strength of your wrist to produce the best results. If the hitting point is too low, it is difficult to return the ball to the opponent's baseline, and it is easy for the opponent to take advantage of the attack.

The body returns to its position as soon as possible

After the technical action of hitting the backhand high ball is completed, the body should immediately follow back to the position and face the net to attack or defend the next shot.

1. The most critical thing is the problem of choice, in your backcourt backhand area, the best way you can hit the ball with your head is to return the ball with the overhead hitting method. Because it is easier to control the landing point, it is not easy to make mistakes, and high, hanging, and killing can be combined, which can threaten the opponent, and the backhand can only be used as an excessive ball when passive.

2. When you practice backhand hitting, it is best not to rush to practice on the court, it is best to play a dozen hanging balls first, the purpose is to find a good feel.

3. When you play backhand, the first thing you should pay attention to is to hold the racket, otherwise you will exert force: on the basis of your forehand grip, rotate the racket handle slightly outward, use your thumb against the wide surface, four fingers**, and relax before hitting the ball so that you can hold the force at the moment of playing.

4. For the feet, it is important to move quickly according to the length of the ball's flight path, and stride the foot on the same side of the grip of the racket when hitting the ball, so as to bring out the strength of the whole body.

5. For the whole body, it is necessary to adjust from the side to the net when moving backwards to the back to the net when playing, and do not be reluctant to turn around, otherwise you will not use the strength of the waist.

6. For the hand, the big arm should be used to drive the lower arm and wrist (mainly by the explosive power of the wrist), so you must not rely on the big arm to play the ball! When preparing the ball, raise the elbow, rotate the arm from internal to external, and extend the wrist from extended. After hitting the ball, there should be a quick stagnant movement in the hand.

7. The point of impact should be slightly ahead of the shoulder on the same side of your grip hand.

8. If you hit the high and far ball of the backhand, the racket must be leaned back, and if you hit the hanging ball, you must have a certain forward push in the hand, otherwise the ball is easy to go to the net.

The correct posture should be that the back hand receives the chest, and before hitting the ball, like the forehand, you should use the waist and hip rotation to accumulate power, and then drive the big arm and small arm to swing the racket, and the hitting point is also on the right side of the head.

However, when practicing, it is very easy to turn back to find the ball behind the back and make the hitting point very right, and finally it becomes a sideways swing, and it does not use the charging power of the turn, and it cannot hit the backcourt.
