Backhand Slice

That's a nice shot and would be pretty useful to learn. But, the shot I'm after is more followed through with the racquet and goes cross-court.

I don't know about "upward slice". Those look like reverse slice backhand drops to me. Good video though.

It might help to see what Kenneth Jonassen does at 4.26

Nice one! That's the shot that I did a week or so back, I just can't repeat it, I'll keep watching that vid and try to imitate, but if any of you know how to do it well please please give me some advice.

If I attempt that shot...Maybe my shoulder would go "Slaaaaaack".

Just kidding, but that's a pretty hard shot to do as I can't seem to control my power when I do backhand....

As I remember playing it before, it was a simple case of angling the racquet and just playing a normal straight drop, although it didn't quite have such a large angle. I think it's a lot to do with when you hit the shuttle, I think I struck it pretty close, it must be really narrow window because it either goes waay high or underneath the net.
