I’m sharing this video here first, before it goes public on YouTube. Most players try to play a deceptive backhand lift from the forecourt — but in reality, their preparation already gives everything away. 👉 The biggest mistake I see: The racket is too far from the shuttle before contact, so the lift no longer looks like a net shot. In this video, I break down: - the key deception principle (making your lift preparation identical to a net shot) - 3 simple progression drills I use with players - why deception is built before the hit, not during it This is one method, not a magic solution — it won’t work for everyone, but it can be a great tool if you struggle with forecourt backhand deception. 🔗 Watch the video here (early access): 👉 https://youtu.be/9o0jI81MZKM Let me know in the comments: - Does this shot feel natural to you? - Or is forecourt backhand still one of your weak points? YouTube release coming soon 👀

You can check my new YouTube video - my first training since my back injury. It was so hard that we managed to train only for 30 minutes with basic doubles drills. But more to come! Video is only here - public will be next day on YouTube 😎 https://youtu.be/ts5BbS2ceOo
