Tennis Two Handed Backhand - 3 Steps To The Perfect Double Hander

Tennis Two-Handed Backhand | 3 Steps To The Perfect Two Hander
In this video Top Tennis Training coaches, Simon Konov and Alex Slabinsky will help you perfect your double-handed backhand using 3 simple steps.
The initial thing to focus on is your grip and how you wait in the ready position. After you identify that the ball is coming to your backhand, the 3 steps are -
1. A good unit turn and moving sideways onto the ball (can have your chin touching your right shoulder in this position to aid the turn)
2. Reaching a good power position with the racket head up higher than the grip level generating good leverage (force over the ball) and space to accelerate the racket
3. A good finish with a full rotation of the shoulders and hips, including the back leg and finishing with the racket and arms over your right shoulder (if right-handed)
Follow these three steps and you will see a huge difference already in your backhand.

[@tmass1]

what are your thoughts on using forehands? one left and one right

[@3HighEnergy]

When you teach the 2-hander you make a unit turn and your right heel comes up before you step forward. But when you hit the ball you step back with your left foot as you make the unit turn. You don't mention anything about stepping back in your explanation. Please explain.

[@Draconas]

My forehand is excellent but my backhand struggles. Can't wait to try practicing this on the court.

[@TravisTrovone]

Ðraconas how did it go?

[@nataliebinitie7646]

[@bananapancakes4765]

Same with me bro

[@GodronATX]

im pretty average at forehand but man whenever i hit a backhand it's so awkward...it feels like im swinging a baseball bat and i always wind up hitting the ball into a high arc

[@janithwickramanayake8126]

Thank you for an excellent ,very clear, helpful video. I have my 80 th birthday this week & wish your video was available 70 years ago. I only play friendly doubles now as I am not quick enough to cover the singles court. Keen players must really appreciate your valuable advice.

Top Tennis Training - Pro Tennis Lessons thanks for replying! I’ve only just discovered your channel, so I’m still going over the videos and so far I’m impressed by the lessons. I’m not sure if you already have a video on this, but do you have some good, fun drills to warm up with to get the hand eye co ordination? I find that I play much better by warming up first but a lot of people like to start hitting straight from the baseline..

Great video guys. So simple even I can understand it and implement the steps. After watching this video I realized I was using eastern/conti instead of SW/conti, causing shots to fly long at times. Once I switched to putting my left hand grip from the side as Alex mentioned = SW, it feels much more natural and consistent. Big thanks!

Top Tennis Training - Pro Tennis Lessons Hi Simon, yes in fact I was also watching the videos on footwork yday which are really good, what I am looking for mostly is the techniques used for hitting the ball on the run and also playing players that are hitting lofty and slow balls, getting the timing right on these are crucial and high balls, whether to hit early or wait for the ball to return into the forehand zone.i seem to make mistakes here

[@aidanhamilton]

man thank yall so much! everything up until the recovery point I was doing alright but I realized with my leg recovery I was pivoting everything at the same time and effectively wasting all my power it makes so much sense now why I was whiffing and everything I just need the delay in recovery to create that uncoiling effect.

[@lgoler]

I had an unlock on my backhand (I’m a USTA 4.5) yesterday after working with my Slinger and videotaping, thought I would mention in case it helps others. I found that my racquet in the ready position wasn’t fully perpendicular to the back wall, so that my stroke was shortening on the backhand and thus losing significant power and control. It is essential to feeling “ready” that on the backhand you get the racquet back fully or else you don’t have proper leverage when swinging through. This video demonstrates it perfectly but for anyone not advanced, check yourself by videotaping from behind to see where your racquet is positioned before moving forward to the ball strike!

Simon, you have excellent videos out there and I find this being one of your best for sure. I'm a one-handed backhand player and I'm trying to help my 8 year old. He lost his two handed backhand a few weeks ago. Since I know zero about two handed, I now I have a bit of knowledge to help him out. Basically, because I'm making him move more, he is losing balance. Hitting the ball our of balance, creates some frustration on him and things just go down hill from there. Again, thanks.
