Most players lose the rear court before they ever swing. Not because they are slow, but because the first movement is wrong. This is the complete rear court forehand footwork for a right-hander: the split step, the base position, the first step, and then the three patterns that cover every situation back there — the China jump, the scissor kick, and the crossing step for the defensive pull shot. Before the three patterns, three things decide everything. THE SPLIT STEP A small hop that lands just as your opponent strikes the shuttle, both feet landing together, weight on the balls of your feet. It is not a jump to get higher. It is a way of being unloaded and ready to push in any direction at the exact moment the shuttle leaves their racket. Land too early and you are flat-footed again. Land too late and you are still in the air when you need to move. THE BASE POSITION Where you return to between shots: around the middle of the court, knees soft, racket up. Base is not a parking spot, it is the position from which all four corners cost you the same. If your base drifts, one corner becomes cheap for your opponent. THE FIRST STEP This is the one almost everyone gets wrong. The first movement out of the split step is a push, not a step. You drive off the foot furthest from the corner you are going to, and that push should throw you as far away from the centre, towards the target corner, as one movement can. A small polite first step means every step after it has to be bigger and faster. A big first push means the last step before the shot can be small and controlled, and that is what lets you hit on balance. THE THREE PATTERNS 1. China jump Split step. Sidestep towards the corner. Then jump, and land with both feet parallel. From the landing, sidestep back towards the centre, then left foot, right foot, and you are back in the middle. Use it for higher shots, when you have time, and when you want power. The parallel landing is stable, so you can hit hard without losing balance, and the recovery is simple because your feet never crossed. 2. Scissor kick Split step. Then one big jump towards the forehand rear corner. Turn the body ninety degrees and scissor the legs. Compared with the China jump, the body rotates during the jump and the left and right foot swap position. There is no parallel landing: you land on the left foot first, then the right, then recover to the middle. Use it under pressure, on flatter shots you can intercept, when there is very little time. The scissor is faster than the China jump because the rotation and the start of the recovery happen inside the same movement instead of after it. 3. Crossing step for the defensive pull shot Split step. Cross your non-racket foot — the left foot for a right-hander — behind the other foot with a big step. Then the racket foot goes towards the target corner. To recover: left foot, right foot, middle. Use it when there is not enough time for the China jump or the scissor kick and you are in a defensive position. This pattern is for balance and control, not power. You are not attacking from here. You are getting a good shot away and getting back. HOW TO CHOOSE Time and height decide, not preference. High and slow with time to set up: China jump. Flat and fast but you can still take it early: scissor kick. Late, low, and you are reaching: crossing step. The mistake is picking the pattern you like instead of the one the shuttle gives you. WHAT GOES WRONG If you are at full stretch every time, the first push was too small. If you land and stumble, you used a scissor kick when there was time for a China jump. If you are late back to base, you skipped the recovery steps and walked instead. If you keep getting caught by the next shot, your base has drifted towards the corner you just played from. PRACTISE IT Shadow footwork first, no shuttle. Ten repetitions of each pattern, corner to base and back, thinking about nothing except the size of the first push. Then ten of each with a feed. Then play a set and notice which pattern you reach for by default — that is the one you are over-using.
