Myth exposed: How to hit a 2 handed backhand like the pros. The 2 fundamentals you need to work on

Hitting a great 2 handed backhand does not need to be as complex as it seems. Tennis instructors often refer to the 2 handed backhand as really a lefty forehand, but it that true? Or is it a shot dominated by the right side of the body as some people say. Here is the truth of the matter and I explain the two core fundamentals you should work focus on.

I figured this would be a good topic to discuss, but there are very few comments. As a viewer did you not like the delivery and the format of the video, do you not care about instructional content, or do you you find the advice not pertinent? Please let me know. Thanks.

[@erick.r1102]

It's pertinent, very good indeed. Just the way you talk makes me believe you. Just the delivery on the vídeo format could have been more engaging to the viewer, if I could change something I'd shorten the intro to key points and cut straight to pro footage(or your own) with a single or two very good examples and use your cursor to point or draw lines your key points. It's great content, made me understand a little deeper somethings on my game, but not the most engaging format to the viewer IMO.

@@erick.r1102appreciate the feedback. During editing I was disappointed with the intro and outro and the overall format, but it’s hard to know what the audience will like/dislike. Thanks for the feedback

Outstanding content and information imparted. The one thing few online coaches discuss is the position of the racquet head and hands on the racquet at the moment of impact. Should the racquet head be above the wrists? Below the wrists? Other than repetition, what makes the pro technique so consistent?

[@TK-Tennis]

@@Coach_A22 Why do you think this is important? This aspect can differ depending on the height of the ball. If it's a low ball your hand will often be above the ball with the racquet head lower at ball contact, and a high ball above the shoulders will dictate that your hand is below the ball on contact. It's more important than the racquet head is below the ball prior to contact and then most typically ends up over the ball after contact i.e low to high

@@TK-Tennis I think the more information imparted on any stroke, the better. Just a personal preference. All good stuff in your content!

The keys to a great 2-hand backhand are: #1 proper spacing to the ball, #2, arms fully extended on the take back, #3 relaxed wrists that allow the tip of the racquet to wrap around behind the hip and the racquet tip to drop so the resulting swing is low to high, #4 full extension through contact and toward the target, #5 follow through over the opposite shoulder. Textbook perfect backhand is Novak Djokovic kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIjcfnmwad6hopY.

Great clip of djokovic, fast clip. Yeah you need to hit thousands of balls to get the weight thru like that. A couple of things will help. For a righty, you need to step in toward the ball and attack it with your front shoulder. Your reach is much SHORTER than you think, so establish your point of contact accordingly. Keep your head behind your front knee. You need to back that leverage with elastic bands workouts to help twitch response & squats/lunges enabling you to get down throughout the shot without the temptation of lifting up too soon.
