- A lot of points in doubles and mixeddoubles are won and lost in the flat game, when no pair has a real advantage. In this 50:50 or 60:40 situations it is important to get the right height into your shots and be quickly ready for the next one.
In this video I will give advice for beginners and advanced players how to improve control and power to win more points or avoid unnecessary mistakes and how to get more variation into your flat game.

-- Additional Info --------------------------------
If you look at different top players you will see different styles of drive and defence. Some use a lot of rotation in almost any shot, some others not so much so there is no real right or wrong.
In many clips you see reigning European Mixed Doubles Champion Isabel Herttrich who is incredibly good in defence and in the flat game. In one of my last videos she also showed her secret weapon in defense so go and chech it out in case you haven't seen it yet: • Defence like a Pro: Su...
-- My Equipment ---------------------------------
For many years now I am playing with the Yonex ArcSaber 11, my favourite racket as it is gives you a lot of power in the attack but is still light enough to be versatile for singles and doubles.
As a string i use the Yonex Aerobite with 12,5kg/13kg string tension.
My Shoes are the Yonex Power Cushio 65 Z2 - Sport
This is exactly what I was looking for. Explained in every possible detail. Thank you Tobi.

Tobi could you help me breakdown playing cross shot bcs i felt (and my friend pointed to me) when under pressure i almost always used straight shot (and i just realized recently) thanks
Are you not upgrading to the 11 pro? Btw the slow motion clips while explaining techniques is amazing. Thank you so much!
Thank you! I will definitely try it out and see if it is an upgrade 😉

Hi Tobias. How about making video on reasons people get elbow pain? usually it's due to bad technique and maybe string tension being too high. Thanks.
it's based on your comfortable grip, drills and sometimes it may be lack of practice and it also how often you play
What about doing a video on wrist pain?
Hi Tobias, thank you for the informative video! Do you then advocate a defensive stance with using the backhand grip then, since very often the flat game starts from a flat return of a drive /smash shot?
You mean in the service situation? I would not fully turn to backhand but already orientate a lot into that direction
@@tobiaswadenka8435 i was thinking of ready position when facing an opponent's potential smash 😅
@@happywolfie1980 ah ok sorry I got that wrong. In doubles I would already turn the grip and wait on the backhand already as you can cover almost any shot with that grip
Good stuff as always. Is hitting over the shuttle with a rotation actually a top spin? How exactly does that force the shuttle to dive once over net? Is it because of the spin of the feathers.
I am not 100% sure but I think it is the same principle like in sliced dropshots. Because of the spin it looses speed quite quickly. If you hit like that it is also very hard to play a defense long (what happens quite often when your opponent hits with power and you hit it clean back)
Im thinking the same. It look like a topspin.
Do we use the same technique when shuttle far from body? (Eg. when opponent drive it to the court sides)
Drive far beside the body is quite tricky as you have to rely mainly or purely on rotation and cannot make use of the thumb and the strechting of the arm so it is a bit different
How to smash without jumping?
I was teaching this to a beginner intermediate level player on Saturday who refused to change their grip for midcourt drives... I'm going send him this video so he believes me. LOL.
Haha hope it helps you to convince him!
What shoe model do you use
Yonex Power Cushion 65 Z2
I notice that all of you were holding the racket very high up the handle, almost at the shaft, for these shots- how does the location of your hand along the racket handle affect shots?...
Holding it higher up the grip gives more precision for the fast pace but you lose court coverage/reach.
What racket u use? Thanks!
