How To Hit A Tennis Backhand: Simple Tips For a Perfect Backhand

[@vilainkikinou9951]

Brillant. My new coach insists on developping such backhand technique and you tips add crucial precision on the whole process. Thanks a lot. You know what you're talking about.

[@jackt8809]

Amazing teacher!

Left hand wrist extended or neutral?

This is the best 2 hander video on youtube. I will be revisitong this ine for a while. Great content brother 👏

[@GrantVanderHayden]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@naeco5778]

One of the best videos Ive seen about the 2HB

[@jcolespartan]

Always had issues with backhanded shots. Great video!! SAVED!

[@littleshinnypearl5241]

this a great guideline, imma try it on class

[@NamesAreRandom]

Really good lesson, love how you say why you should do things and point out variations. The first stage of acceleration where the arms pull up was something I hadn't considered, and the difference in follow thru while obvious if you think about it also helpful to clarify.

[@NuvoVision]

These are great videos...thanks for the help bro

[@incessantyoutuber9318]

Brilliant

Hey coach. One odd thing I have discovered: if you want to improve how to hit your one-handed backhand, train to hit the two-hander. The two-hander requires so much more body turn and ball focus that it trains you to avoid the bad-form cheats that you can sort of get away with, some of the time, with the one-hander. I'm much more consistent and I have much better form with my one-hander in matches if I spend part of my training time on the two-hander. I'm a good 4.0 but definitely not a 4.5, if that matters.

[@camiloguarin4917]

What a coincidence!!! Tired of my continuos mistakes hitting one-handed backhands, I started to train two-handed, but because I didn’t fell ready to play matches with two, surprise 😮, my one-handed has been more effective

[@SRS.310]

awesome analysis and explanation! 👍👍

[@seanlynch8846]

This guy is great. Knows so much. It was so complicated though I just quit tennis instead...

[@slesher917]

All the credits to you mate! Well explained, great examples, in-depth instructions. Would recommend this coach to anyone who wants to enhance his/her game. Keep it up! 😉(tennis coach & amateur player)

[@steingrongstad7019]

Great video. What about posture and head/eye movement, how important is that ?

[@mietkowanie8583]

i think I catch this. Good job.

[@elifrmak134]

[@franciscomanrique4979]

[@nukiolbartes6279]

Coil the right shoulder back further during take back

[@Crypto.spaghetti]

C'est bien expliqué

[@jasonloeb4269]

Grant! Great video broskie, I am no fashionista, think it may be time to leave that same long sleeve t-shirt that has mold on it away 🤣

[@ketavsharma]

Are you going to do a detailed lesson for backhand on website like you have for forehand ?

[@aadptop10]

It is actually like left handed forehand with the help of right hand just to stabilize movement and when impact the ball.

[@linkedintips9819]

@grantvanderhayde are you doing to have a detailed lesson on your website as you do for a forehand?

[@AlphaTennisinPittsburgh]

Okay, this tennis backhand tutorial is great and all, but I tried it and ended up hitting the ball into a different zip code! Time to call NASA, I'm serving for space exploration now! 🚀🎾 😄

[@GermanJudeaLatteZaina]

What is up wooooorld class ?!

[@giannismourat]

great great analysis... would you consider a bent left arm at contact as a mistake in every case?

[@GrantVanderHayden]

Not in every case! The straight arm provides a biomechanical advantage, but is not a mandatory prerequisite for world-class performance

[@lintonblaise2356]

Good Evening Grant, I have a question on the backhand can my dominant arm have a little bend and should you keep the racquet close to my body I am only asking because my coach told me to keep the racquet close to your body; lastly can I send a video of my two-handed backhand if so how would I go about sending it?

[@007cambon]

Almost like a cricket shot

[@Matthew9818]

As good as this is it is way too technical . my coach mentions much simpler terms like having a steeper trajectory on the strings if you want more spin . He also mentions about making sure the arms are straight and having the racket pointing towards the back fence . At a more advanced level he mentions pivoting on the back leg or leaning into the ball for more power . This is all on the backhand .

[@atheistcory4174]

Or you can hit the backhand like Kyrgios and simplify it.

[@Nerdzombiedisco]

Those shots had nothing on them. I just came from Indian Wells. Not even close. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@MtlMilanisto1]

too much jabber this really isnt a good tutorial..

[@AlpineFeline]

Adults hit one handed backhands

[@sunglee3935]

What about djokovic?

[@Unreelme]

Its weird how the two players with the most grand slam victories both have 2 handed backhands...
