Have tried Voltric80 , bought it for close to 9K in Pune a few months back . To be honest I still am unable to see any noticable difference , except that Bling Bling factor . Have been using BG66Ti as usual .
I play a mix of 40/60 kinda play (defense/attack) respectively , based on the opponent.
However I still find playing with the ZSlash/MP99/Nanospeed a lot better compared to Voltric80.

I differ , this can happen to any racket the moment it hits the wrong spot a couple of times . I have a collection of almost 7-8 of such pieces some broken with clashes , others with the missed timing .
Any foolproof cost effective solution to get these repaired , I am not a miser , just that I would love to have a few of my loved ones back
And least to say , you have done a fabulous job out here providing tips and tricks .
Coming back to the Backhand shot which is a major challenge for most of the folks , I would say there are many options to play the same shot .
You can either use the wrist or the shoulder to play these .
The shoulder movement is easy to practise , for beginners , so here it goes .
Option 1 : Position yourself facing out towards the sidewall of the court (backhand side/ left side ) , make sure the head is not facing the wall behind you instead is facing the wall on the left . Use your shoulder to drive the shuttle as back as you can in a straight line .Your arm should move in astaright line and not upwards . Dont use your wrist to drive the shuttle from this posture .
Option2 : Position yourself facing out towards the sidewall of the court (backhand side/ left side ) , make sure the head is not facing the wall behind you instead is facing the wall on the left . Use your shoulder to drive the shuttle as back as you can in a Cross line . Your arm should move in a parabolic motion (trajectory) upwards not in a straight line .Its more like a loft to clear the front opponent .Use your wrist to drive the shuttle from this posture . This is the easiest and the safest shot to practise . Target hitting the cross corner of the court .
Option 3 : Position yourself facing out towards the sidewall of the court (backhand side/ left side ) , make sure the head is not facing the wall behind you instead is facing the wall on the left . Use your shoulder to drive the shuttle towards the opponent in a straight line .The power needs to be controlled with the intent of dropping it at the net , based on the opponent position .Your arm should move in a staright line not upwards and finally the shot played with a jerk block of the wrist (something like checking the complete lofted drive ) . Dont use your wrist to drive the shuttle from this posture instead use it only for placing (execution). The length / height of the shuttle is key in this shot . The shuttle should travel as flat as it can against the net .
Once practised/controlled Option 3 can be used for cross court drops with precision which can wrong foot toughest of the opponents .
Practise with the shoulder and when there's control the same can be easily played with just a flick of the wrist instead of using the shoulder .
