Hey Jeff, I don't know what you been doing at upload different but your thumbnail is not showing for me the last few uploads. When I point on the video it shows the gif.

Love the honesty about backhand being your weak shot. Made me respect you even more.

[@TennisEvolution]

Thank you Will. What other types of lessons you'd like to see from me in the near future? Jeff.

[@willkeyes8859]

@@TennisEvolution I'd love to see how you get into your sideways stance while hitting your one-handed backhand. Do you step forward with your right foot first or do you move your left foot back to create a closed stance OR does it depend on how much time you have. Thanks again for the amazing lessons. You rock!

Thank you very very much for your tips and sharing it to me. I am so tired my friends laughing at my mistakes and they even avoid playing with me. They don't even invite me to their games. Thanks again Mr. Jeff S.

[@antjobert]

This is SO HELPFUL, Jeff! I'm going to watch some recent videos of myself hitting my backhand and see what I do that is contrary to what you shared here. I know for sure that I grip the racquet too tightly. My two handed backhand has been the thorn in my side for so many years! Ian and Ira at Essential Tennis recommend the takeback for the backhand be in the shape of a C and then you can kind of slingshot your racquet to accelerate at contact. I've found that helpful, also.

[@TennisEvolution]

Awesome! Thank you for watching. What other types of lessons you'd like to see from me in the near future? Jeff.

[@antjobert]

@@TennisEvolution I used your advice and it helped! Particularly the follow through with my left foot swinging around so that I'm almost parallel to the net. (I'm right handed) I had so much more consistency and a little more power. It was great!

[@TennisEvolution]

@@antjobert Great! I'm glad it helped. Keep it up!

[@최천수-y5k]

Jeff.. Thank you for very useful 3 tips. I cant wait trying those tips.. 1. Tempo, 2. Loosen grips 3. Follow steps after swing

How did it go Carlos? Thanks for watching. Jeff.

[@carloscosta8743]

@@TennisEvolution I stoped being stuck outside the court, one meter behind the base line. I started to step into the court and that makes all the difference. I'm a typical clay surface club player with a bad tendence to back off to start my movements. But I'm better now. My challenge is to keep foccus to start the movements before and maintain my eyes on the ball untill the contact to the tennis racquet.

[@carloscosta8743]

@@TennisEvolution I have a lot of confidence on my backhand with two hands, I never hit slice. Club players of my level usually serve on my backhand and It is a common hit with no spin but I don't do a lot of unforced errors.

[@TennisEvolution]

@@carloscosta8743 Thanks for sharing your progress. I appreciate it. Keep up the good work ;)

@@carloscosta8743 Awesome!

[@millionairejh]

These are great tips as usual. I know coaches dont like hearing the tip im about to give, but I firmly believe the way your racquet is weighted is important for a two hander. All great two handers on tour I believe had tons of lead tape on their frame, i.e. Djok, Nadal Agassi, etc. I believe this is partially due to the fact that once you have that second hand on your racquet it moves the pivot point of your racquet higher. Thus, in order to have a more natural fuller swing and follow through, it helps to be a little more head heavy. With that said, ive seen great THBs regardless of if they make this modification.

[@millionairejh]

@@TennisEvolution I'm not sure if you havent already done so, but some tips on exercises that can help improve your game would be nice. For instance, I use to pull out my shoulder a lot when i served. It wasnt until i did resistance band training did the pain go away. Also im interested on how to improve leg strength. Particularly, when you see someone like Djokovic return, how hes able to these huge explosive leaps at the ball in one step.

[@TennisEvolution]

@@millionairejh Thanks for your reply. Check out this video to improve your leg strength (kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqmrnomKnJ2fZpY). I'll add your topics request for upcoming videos. Jeff.

[@tavomagno5]

Awesome tips Jeff , question is as you explained the leg behind and step in on what cases can you do that or you totally recommend always end square? , In rush moments I have ended as you say reaching the ball and jammed with both hands across my body and my leg still across

[@alainbrouillaud484]

Jeff... you could say the same for the forehand as well. The UNIT TURN a.k.a FIRST MOVE should be slow as well eh?

[@Sladovsky1]

It depends on the oncoming ball. If it' slow, it gives plenty of time to take your racquet back slowly, but it's fast and doesn't give you much time you need to take your racquet back quickly. It's not about slow or fast takeback actually, but it's about smothness and right timing.

[@TennisEvolution]

@@Sladovsky1 Spot on! What other types of lessons you'd like to see from me in the near future? Jeff.

[@TennisEvolution]

Hey Alain. Thank you for watching. It all depends on the speed from the oncoming ball. You constantly need to adjust while keeping solid fundamentals on both strokes. What other types of lessons you'd like to see from me in the near future? Jeff.
