How to help my partner when he struggle in the back, left and right?

Idk the full situation, just based on my experience as back court brutal beast back then.
In my case, im just a wild rampaged beast smashing all the shot endlessly forcing my way through my opponent defense. Well, that work quite well on lower level but the higher the level, no matter how deadly my smash, it never end in 1-3 strike. Tho sometimes it works but it will drain my stamina alot making 2nd round imposible to catch on.
Today i play more brain instead of brawl. I vary my shot more between my aim & power output making the opponent harder to anticipate & time his counter. The resultif works much more effective than pure brute & much more efficient in term of stamina consumption.
So probably its not you who need to think to rescue your partner but instead its your partner which need to think his strategy.
Some think back court is big hitter role for bombardment but i would disagree partially as from my view, backcourt player is he who see all so he play the role to control the games. The direction of play, the pace, & all. Front player is literally an assassin. Wait for opportunity, setup a trap, & when the moment come, pop up & kill.

I thought it's the front player who controls the game and has more time and wide+real-time view of the opponents movements in front as everything's at eye level. And ofcourse he will put constant pressure at the net.
Hello,
So you position yourself between the net and the short service line ?
If yes, then please move towards midcourt i.e. away from the net, about 3 strides. You should be able to reach the net if needed.
Try to have an idea if your partner is under movement pressure at the back for eg, when opponent does an attacking clear esp to his backhand corner. Or if he has done a couple of corner runs and now appears out of breath.. track the shuttle after the opponent hits clear and declare 'yes/mine' so that your partner can relax.
Have a smooth rotation.
Cheers.
This good advice.
if you move back a bit more from the T, you make the area at the back of the court a bit smaller. There’s less of the court for the opponent to hit to.
Also, you and partner must learn to rotate positions.
I mean backcourt player also need a brain, not entirely brawl. Back player had advantage of seeing all, he can observe whole situation, your partner & both opponent. So back player could plan his attack toward wich area, play hard or soft, or even giving up attack when both of you & partner in bad position.
So, yes front player play control but doesnt mean back player need to forget control & focus on power. Which is why i mention partially.
Actually your partner has the problem and you have a problem as a pairing, but it's not yours solely to own, that's why it's called doubles and not singles. You should be standing a bit behind the T though for sure.
You can stand further back and try to cover 3 corners but you'll lose points that way too
Maybe play to get your partner at the front if it works better that way around.
