A big backswing gives your opponent time to read your backhand drive. Olympian Toby Ng shows me five steps to a flat, early backhand drive with no backswing, so you hit it before they're even ready.

I think it's always advantageous to get to the shuttle early since you will have more shot options

When I listen to the hitting sound, notice Toby swing is half tempo faster. In doubles, this could easily overwhelm a slow hand/big swing/slow footwork opponent, and creates a lot of pressure.

Alyex, you're too stiff. I think it's from muscle memory. Comparing you to Toby he's more relax. When you're that close up you don't need to load up like you do. For Toby he just keeps his racket facing forward and only using his forearm and finger to draw that snap power. For you, you're using too much arm and shoulder where you're telegraphing the shot. You keep saying your timing is off in the video it's bc you load up - cock your racket back. You only need to load up when it's back row shots like clears (both backhand and forehand clears), smashes, drops, etc,. Toby should of been more specific with when to use these types of drives. They're only good for front court drives. Mid-court and back-court drives you need to load up.
