Hitting a proper one-handed backhand over the shoulder in 4 steps 😉

Great stuff! Thank you for doing that for us one-hand backhand aficionados it’s amazing🎾🎾🎾

Great tips. Patrick is a master coach

[@shaunkacks2682]

Thanks I am myself having trouble in this type of hit

[@oreb05]

Very useful Thks Mr Patrick !

[@kevindoyle5856]

Yes but that can also be a beautiful and almost effortless slice when that comes if you can prepare

[@ST-rm3bz]

One of my life goals is to train with Patrick at least once 👑

[@warriorson7979]

Play it exactly the same as a normal ball, only put more sidespin on it instead of topspin. In other words hit across it instead of over it.

[@juancamilopoveda7648]

Please more dor two handed backhand

[@17teacmrocks]

oh thx. i had this issue but now play two handed. also, during an interview federer said to slice bh balls that are too high so i usually do that vs hitting over the shoulder if there’s no time to switch to lefty fh

[@vincenttran5920]

slicing is great recreationally if they are not rated 5+ they will not be able to deal with it consistently. assuming your slice is a poison slice

[@al1976-v7m]

Problem is the slice doesn't work if your opponent is coming in behind the ball.

Hello Patrick! I love your shorts but...this time i would like to show you another way to hit high balls with one handed backhand which is a better way to avoid play short balls. However ty very much for all your videos and tutorials 👍❤️

For high backhand I prefer slice. Works great.

[@aswinirekha3529]

Yea

[@chadcat420]

*laughs in Stan the Man Wawrinka

[@UchihABitachi]

I played against someone who uses a western forehand like Swiatek. When he gets a clean hit, the pace is fast & the spin is extreme. It’s going through the court while spinning & I’m having trouble finding out where the contact point is or how I should hit the ball. I’m a 4.0, eastern fh (like to hit flat) & Single handed bh that has spin comparable to western fh grip 😂.

[@mrxman581]

Hit the ball earlier, and don't let it get above your shoulders. I know, easier said than done. If you can't, simply hit a slice backhand. Or, step back and let the ball lower.

[@hyeonjuncho1578]

luv this video❤❤ If u have a time to upload another lesson viedo, could you teach me how to do kick serve? please😭(help me..!!!)

[@TheGarfield1337]

I honestly have to say that i NEVER struggled with a hith bouncing ball on 1h backhand. Tbh that's one of the reasons why I actually became a 1hbh. It just felt more natural to me to play these high bouncing balls one-handed

[@gurvirb]

This is so helpful. Thanks coach.

[@Apoz]

Wow amazing one, what about double handed? Especially the part about the angle, could you elaborate on that with examples on the court? I imagine the angle not only depends on your position on the court but also the speed of the ball?

[@kod4062]

Thanks you 🙏🏼

[@Theizzer]

This tip is super helpfull! Thanks! I also struggle with my returns as a one handed backhander. A lot of times I feel I dont have enough time to prepare for a return so I switch to a two-handed backhand for returns...

[@danielchen8027]

Or if you are really skilled, you can do the jumping Shapovalov backhand. Denis has a tutorial on it. Flashiest shot in tennis.

[@ahmadhasif979]

Almost like a Badminton shot, theres similar components ❤

Really hard shot to do! That is a killer for me.

[@iagomello6317]

Im not into the tenis fundamentals but is it easier to hit this high balls with a two handed BH? Looks easier to be “loose” with the one handed to create pace

[@samprinter7960]

2 hands creates more vertical reach because your left arm is closer and easier pace because you have 2 hands

[@miguelbarahona6636]

@@samprinter7960 No, 2 hands on the racket have less reach. One handed bh has longer reach. Just grab your racket with 1 and then witch 2 hands, and you´ll know,

[@iagomello6317]

[@cesarfernandezlopez5063]

Difficult shot but not impossible to master

[@kalebball5144]

Moral of the story, dont let the ball get above your head. Take it off the rise. This is a very low percentage play.

[@stevem9289]

this is tough for me also

[@johnvinceoctavio6240]

How about to power forehand

[@jim_mai]

Need this. I slice all high bh balls.

[@RoluLoru]

No you don't. The high to low slice is very effective as you can keep it really low to the ground as you follow it in. A very strong shot

[@willkittwk]

​@@RoluLoruyep it gives a guy trouble especially the kind who wanna sit back and hit topspin rallies all day.

[@stevenglen5971]

....how about Shapovalov style 😅

[@laurastone6578]

I have a weak-powered one-handed backhand to begin with. Executing a high one-handed backhand with pace is about impossible for me. In this case, I would be throwing up a lob versus trying to drive the ball.

[@willkittwk]

Try driving a cut slice BH with a low bounce and look to take control off opponents reply. Lot of times it's hard for him to generate another high bounce topspin back even pros have hard time. You ever watch say Fed and Djoks hitting low slice back and forth that's usually cause it's hard to come over till the slice bounce up a little more so they can drive over the ball. Watch the pros play with the eyes of a student rather than a fan. And evaluate what and why they're doing things.

[@pioneercolonel]

I gave up on one-handed backhand. It may work for Roger Federer but for the rest of us mortals, it's just too much. Elegant though. It's a pity.

[@vanmasterflash7153]

And then there's the wrist flick.

[@miguelbarahona6636]

Just free the wrist, no flick.

[@kabob21]

You have to do a lot of shoulder and upper/mid back strengthening exercises like reverse flys, dumbbell rows, etc to pull off poor-leverage one-handed like this.

[@hafadaze9046]

I try to take it on the rise or let it drop in my strike zone

[@almonkalbuadi2501]

Does the grip need to adjust too?

[@markbelanian3303]

Slice is the only real effective option at that ball height

[@MelvinLew]

Take the ball on the rise and avoid the high ball. Slice or topspin will do the job depending on how good your timing is. PM is demonstrating an athletic, laborious technique that is not sustainable for long rallies even for advanced players.

[@mahendrabalan5248]

you need to ask Rafa in 2017.

So u have to hit it flat? No top spin?

less top spin, and a lot flatter. but no shot in tennis is really completely flat

[@tenniswithric]

High to low? You sure?

[@jimklein6958]

If you look at how he actually hits the ball it is the opposite of his words. Sad because he has a BIG voice in tennis.🙄🙄🙄

[@Iphone-69]

I just slice it down

[@X_Cuda_X]

Crazy how bad his advice can be sometimes... You're never going to be able to hit with power with this technique because you're primarily relying on your rear delt to generate power; one of the weakest muscles. Instead of staying sideways like he's doing, you must continue to have good shoulder and hip rotation. You can still do this in a neutral or closed stance, watch Wawrinka, but I recommend hitting with an open stance on these balls. Musetti and Thiem comes to mind as one of the better open stance 1h backhands on tour right now. Thiem actually switched to 1h partly to handle high balls better.

[@oakoat9302]

Do a video please

[@X_Cuda_X]

@@oakoat9302 I'm not a KZbinr, but there might be a video already on it. Just try to practice some backhands with an open stance, but making sure your shoulders are almost perpendicular to the net on take back, and rotate them so they're around parallel to the net on your finish. Keep your strings slightly closed at contact, and brush up and out for top spin. After awhile, it should feel more natural, and you can start doing with tougher balls. This will really help with returns, running backhands, and against high, deep balls. Ironically, Fernando Gonzalez didn't really have a strong backhand overall, but he did a pretty good job hitting it open stance. He's another guy you can look at to study

[@CartoonSlug]

​@@oakoat9302 If I can add in my two cents, for high balls you can also try a jumping one-handed backhand, Shapovalov style, to get at the same height as the ball without adjusting your swing as much.

[@tenniswithric]

It's ok if the incoming ball has lots of spin and pace, he can just hit on the rise like what he has done in this video. What i disagree with is his advice to hit high to low for these high balls

[@tonymcgo]

my goodness, so much content, too much I think (and I like tennis)

[@eliaspapas31]

That's nonsense of course. One handed backhand players should slice the ball when it goes over shoulder level. That's tennis 101. It's obvious that Tsitsipas has been influenced by you an that's why he has become Carlos's best client. You should have tought him to slice the ball.

[@heroofcomments8956]

That shot doesn't look convenient for sure. First off all, you won't be in a position to run and hit like that in a match😂. If you make a video of 10 high ball backhand shots continuously hitting like this, 70% of the time the ball is going to land in wrong spots.😂

[@munguntuyavanchig7404]

Or just do shapovalov
