This is fore-hand back court defensive shot. You can clear (defensive clear), drop (pull drop), and drive (back court drive). This is something that a single player must trained for; it is used very frequently.

don't know what you mean? these are just normal shots with the player being a bit too late to get behind the shuttle. pretty standard shot for intermediate play (and better)....
Thank you, guys. I am glad that my post got your attention with many useful replies.
And I agree with captaincook, like I wrote in my earlier posts, I still think it is a technique that single players should train in order to play. It cannot be played naturally. (I tried it many times but did not succeed).
I just search in the Internet with captaincook's keyword " fore-hand back court defensive shot" and found this:

What the lady teaches in the clip is very close to the technique I want to learn except that the shuttle is low when it is hit. ( I would like to learn the technique when the shuttle is as high as the player's head). But it is very good to learn "fore-hand back court defensive shot" and I will try to apply it when the shuttle is higher to see if it works.
I agree with this too. It is a technique as it is frequently used. It's not a desperate shot as some have said. It's just choosing to take it late rather than rushing to get under the shuttle and making a rushed shot or if it has gone too far behind you. It has no particular name i dont think, because you can do any shot (late drop/late drive/late clear) from this technique, you just do it late/at a lower height. It is essentially a shot to take shuttles that have gone past you. (otherwise you should intercept it or move your feet). It is most effective to use this against an attacking clear from a serve return.
Rudky - The shot is taken from your front right and hit across your body. your feet face diagonally into the corner, you face 90 degrees to the side of the court. I find it resembling a very fast arm wrestle from a losing position and suddenly turning into superman and winning. just pronation as some have said. elbow at just not quite 90 degree bent, twist shoulder from losing arm wrestle position to winning arm wrestle position, twist forearm from palm face up to palm face down. you should already be heading back to base as soon as the shuttle has left your racket.
i would say this is a forehand pulled shot.
It can be a drop shot, net shot, clear, drive or any other shot but basically it is a pulled-shot.
Here's a video from BWF of a forehand pulled dropshot.

you can also find the mirror stroke for this which is the backhand pulled dropshot in the youtube.
iT is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks!!!
