The concept of “churning or stirring” has dramatically improved my backhand. This channel consistently provides the best and most valuable instruction on KZbin.

[@jaquevius]

This is what I was missing too. I have a full unit turn but drop and go straight through so I can’t generate power and it feels stiff. This little tip really frees up the swing so you don’t feel like you have to muscle the ball or lean too far into it.

[@MelodyMaker]

Absolute best two handed backhand instructional video I've seen on youtube to date. Excellent analogies. You precisely elaborated on the segment of the stroke that other instructional videos miss. That is, from backswing to contact.

[@carloslam2999]

This is really the best two-handed backhand tutorial I have seen in KZbin.🎉🎉

[@munti9826]

The best double handed backhand video out there, it’s now my best shot!

[@benncranklin3334]

Fantastic explanation and tips Kevin! I started playing in earnest a little under two years ago and just now finally, finally come to the realization that you have to play on the forefoot ALL THE TIME to play good tennis. Now "turn the knee" becomes possible and things just start to click. Crazy how interconnected this is but it takes time and commitment to bring it all together. Now I get the sense of finally playing downhill instead of feeling like a big lummox out there moving around like a sleestak mid snow storm. Great stuff!

[@marcwente8943]

awesome video! you absolutely changed my backhand. I was struggling with my backhand for a long time and your cues helped me make the necessary adjustments to make my motion more fluid to add consistency and power! I love how you simplify everything and break it down into mini shadow swings. What did it for me in particular was the 'turn the knee' portion. It helped be a lot more interconnected and fluid and focus less on my arms. I've watched no less that 30 of your videos since. keep up the great work!

[@yvonnemurphy7506]

omgoodnessgracious... the quick grip switch trick🙏🏽and the footwork! THIS ALL the basics in 1 concentrated dose

[@TotalTennisDomination]

Thanks Yvonne

[@spirosgabriel2719]

Best tennis channel hands town. Natural presenter with a great grasp on the bio-mechanics which I have found invaluable. Thanks and keep up the great content.

[@Hi-techtenniscom]

Brilliant video on so many levels. I love the concept of stirring because it's rhythmic and slow and captures how the timing works. So different from "take the racket back right away" or "you can never prepare too early", which both completely kill timing and coiling. Rest on the calf is so good for getting the motion of the racket head drop, which you also see all the pros doing. And turning the knee to get to contact - wow that is brilliant. That simple move really aids in getting the shoulders and racket to come around and forward. If you look at a slow motion video of Djokovic's backhand you can see all of this. I had never heard any of these before but I'm going to be using this as a framework from now on. Amazing work from Kevin, as always.

[@cliffbeale6371]

I’ve watched loads of videos (all good), but your breakdown is fantastic. The stir, calf rest bit in particular is diagnostically what I was not getting right! Legend! 👍

[@deliciano1294]

I have seen a lot of backhand and tennis teaching videos on KZbin. Yours I have to say are the best imo. They all explain different ways what to do with the arm and upper body and you are the only coach that focus on the footwork as well. And In your other videos too.

[@Javi_C]

Needed this!

[@ginomarone8831]

Your “stir the pot” analogy is eye opening.... lol! Gonna give it a try!!

[@Maaxx7272]

Thank you so much. I have now a competitive and reliable backhand. Best of all, I got it for free. I follow a lot of tennis instruction on KZbin and you are my favorite coach. Thanks again.

[@PreiliMuri]

Many, many thanks. Just what I needed, to make sure how it all is supposed to be and what shadow training to do, to progress and get more stable on the court. Our grownup chaotic class just moved past it too fast for me to grasp what exactly is the right way to do things and this has left me questioning every move I make. That's what you get when you are a bit scatterbrain and have previous bad habits, that you can fall back as a safety net.

[@obaidfarghani9202]

awesome I love the stirring and touching the calf 👏

[@marcbobson]

Great detail and mentions a lot of subtle but important things others forget.

[@brookwiersreading5783]

I like his humor and breaking it down to simple steps.

[@michaelm4021]

Brilliant young man. I love this guy, and his approach to instruction. The manner in which he explains and demonstrates the loop, or "stirring the pot", starting at around 6:30, is extremely helpful.

[@antoniovivaldi2270]

I strongly support your opinion - he is simply great - my favorite tennis instructor in yt.

[@lb0deejay-br]

Nice instructional video! Thank you so much

[@thenormaltraveler]

The best video lesson on 2 handed backhand ..great job

Dang. That flashlight advice added A LOT of power to my backhand.

Orion is great! I love Kings Island and all the other Cedar Fair parks!

[@enzidoso9320]

Very didactic. Congrats! :)

[@bmanbusee3812]

Nice video. Interesting that I found that taking the racquet back higher in the looping action messed up my timing. Was taught the basic take back around waist level which gives me more fluidity and better timing. Power is still there regardless. Sort of what Medvedev does who has a great backhand! What ever works I say!!

[@TotalTennisDomination]

Totally agree that their are different types of take backs and if what you're doing works stick with it. One thing that I found is the timing of the take back will have a big influence on having a smooth and solid hit. Thanks

[@Dante-gg9rf]

Like this video very much

[@ThatGardener]

Good video one thing I feel that is key is to step into the ball with opposite leg. This was critical for me to ensure good timing and balance.

[@pathaks1]

Exactly golf style waist rotation on left foot ❤

[@mib910]

Analogies are the best way to learn :)

[@007cambon]

Well done champ ..👍🇦🇺👍

[@ClubRemy]

Hi, Kevin. Thanks for the great video. A question I have that didn't get answered is which hand is in control of the two handed backhand? Or is it equal responsibilities? I'm completely self taught, so I'm kind of having to work it out on my own and sometimes it feels better one way and other times the other. It kind of looked like you were letting your left hand drive the shot, but it wasn't super clear. I would appreciate your thoughts on this.

[@dougmassinger4649]

People who use analogies to teach or explain things tend to be of very high intelligence. I really like your videos and the way you teach!!

[@fatboi1283]

That was a top tier compliment right there

[@kingadjust5422]

I've used a 2 hand backhand since I started playing but I still get jealous Everytime I see wawrinka or thiem hit fancy looking 1 hand backhands 😆😆😆😎👍

[@TotalTennisDomination]

LOL... Yes I love the look of a good one hander.

[@deliciano1294]

Don't be jealous cause it looks beautiful but it puts a lot of stress on your arm which could lead to tennis elbow and you almost have to have perfect technique to hit it.

[@kingadjust5422]

@@deliciano1294 wow I forgot about this comment and thanks for the advice I ended up staying with my 2 handed backhand became I love it 😁😎👍

[@dak9500]

I enjoyed the video. I’d never heard the stir the pot analogy. Very good. I noticed my hands have been too close and it does make me do a weird recoil before I swing forward. One question. What kind of shorts are you wearing?

[@borisnahalka3027]

all good, thank you, but I would like to hear more about the different types of backhands (2 handers), more about the bodyweight transfer, U shape, timing, and all that jazz.

[@TotalTennisDomination]

Thanks, I put it on the notes for the next backhand video.

[@alfredoviel]

Good video! I m thinking learning from scratch the two handed back hand because i m tired of my tennis elbow that i feel with my one handed. Do you think it will help? I try to swing with two hands and feels so unnatural though.

[@BenPhanStudios]

Thanks man this was super helpful! I'm gonna start eating more soup 🤣

[@StrageSrebreniy]

- Вы очень хорошо даёте объяснения, спасибо! 🎾👍🤝👋🇷🇺

[@watcher687]

Hi Kevin, does this “stir the pot thing” happen with a one handed backhand as well?

[@kingadjust5422]

I think my mistake on my backhand is the first thing about putting my arms out enough 😎👍

[@peppio]

in your forehand the plate of racket is parallel to the ground..you add more topsin... instead in your backhand, the plate is less parallel to the ground.. You arrive at the contact point flat in the backhand...what you think about?

[@jonathanchen1026]

Please make a video for one handers trying to transition to two handed backhands, it’s so difficult!

[@TotalTennisDomination]

Here's an old video we did while with ET that would help you kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ24imeBhtifp6s THanks I'll start working on an update for my channel.

[@reformedwretch2071]

YEEES! I've always had a one handed bh but I want to switch to two handed!

[@KoBizme]

Lol if you don't believe me look at me holding the racket with 2 hands. Haha that was so funny to me. Also excited for this vid. I want a 2 handed backhand.

[@kingadjust5422]

a 2 hand backhand is better for control, hitting less framers, and getting high balls but the good things about the 1 hander is that it feels more free and it can help to get easier more effortless topspin than the 2 hand backhand also do you currently use a 1 hand backhand? if you've been playing with a 1 hand backhand for a long time you shouldn't switch 😎👍

[@TotalTennisDomination]

Glad you liked it.

[@TotalTennisDomination]

I believe that either backhand can do the job if you practice it enough. They both have shots that may present difficulty but as we have all seen on TV that having a one or two hand isn't the deciding factor that cause players to be good or bad. It's how that stroke fits with the rest of that players game. That's the consideration that I would make if I was thinking about switching.

[@heupengwong6171]

Can you teach us single backhand please❤

[@atrem7942]

Great video, but I think one thing is just wrong from my point of view. It where you keep talking about Turning the knee. You meant the internal rotation of the hip making the knee turn from facing outwards to forwards. It all about using the hip as a pivot point. Front leg needs to by facing towards the net post or the net. Many step too much side ways towards the ball with their toes along the baseline facing outwards preventing any pivot action to uncoil unless you tier a ligament in your knee.

[@Islamrulzzz]

The BH swing is the hardest aspect i just cant nail down…is it same for you?

[@TotalTennisDomination]

It was harder because I didn't hit enough balls the right way when I was a two hander. Really try to slow everything down and take it step by step. Thanks

[@ladypj814]

YOU ARE AN AMAZING TEACHER ❤

[@coolsurgeonintown]

Keep it simple. Lengthy video

[@Crypticnight2290]

i have been playing tennis for a long time, and i can't seem to change grips between shots..when i try to do this, my ball always goes into the net.

[@TotalTennisDomination]

Are you coming back to the ready position with both hands after each shot? That might help if you're not doing that. Thanks

[@Crypticnight2290]

@@TotalTennisDomination i think i naturally do shift grips, without consciously think about it. thanks for the tip of getting back to the ready position. i think i do this as well as split step. i need to video myself

[@BCSimonYT]

head position and rotation of body doesn't happen at the end.. kinda incomplete and static.

not a good backhand. legs more open. right leg more to the front. putting the bodyenergy towards the field over the right knee. Swinging is good.
