Very clear and precise instruction guys. I'm in the process of changing from a one handed backhand to a two hander as I am having difficulty returning high balls. I enjoyed the video immensely. Keep up the good work. John Shannon.

I am a huge fan of Nole's two handed backhand. Gonna straight away utilize these drills and improve my two-handed backhand on the court.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Glad to hear it, have you always been a two hander? Alex

[@BarathManohar]

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial .Yes.Initially I struggled a lot with my backhand.Some of your two handed backhand videos and little bit of pratice helped me a lot to improve

[@daptor1427]

Yeah, his backhand is just straight up unfair, haha. Although personally I would love to have Nalbandian's backhand, it's just super flashy and basically another forehand. (and I'm saying that as someone whose backhand is the stronger wing)

Ii wished I could see this before my training at the wall today🤣. Thank you!! I will try it next time. Although I can play one handed backhand I never really wanted to let my left hand hanging in there for decoration. I think I developed my body harmoniously when I use both hands so it was more of a personal preference than style.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Let us know how it goes

[@meowrf]

Thanks for this. I just started actually playing tennis about 2 years ago (but have been a tennis follower since 2005) as my 30 yrs old promise. I cannot get my backhand shot consistently. This video really helps

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Good luck with the backhand improvements

[@jazz19101]

Another great video from the best on the net tennis instruction. Clearly, people who have good two handed backhands are fairly ambidextrous. Simon is very ambidextrous. Most people can't hit a non-dominant hand forehand. The backhand they show with a dominant left hand is different than what Chris Evert used. She said her left hand just supported her right hand because she was too weak as a child to hit with one hand. Also, these guys are good athletes and have exceptional hand-eye coordination. But for people who are not good athletes (most of us) tennis is still a lot of fun. You just play with people of your own skill level, barbecue after a match, drink and party :).

the first drill asks a lot from students. Not your typical starting drill with beginners, as an advanced drill I see the value. Big fan of the ball throwing method

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

I’ve done that drill with plenty of beginners, they’ll struggle for sure but they get better if you do it consistently and you’re building up good motor patterns! If it was easy, everyone would be good

[@Benzino2013]

This channel has helped my game tremendously and personally would love to train with you guys one day. I seem to never get a chance to see the weight of the medicine balls you guys use, what would be a good range for a 4.0-4.5 player?

[@satgill830]

Amazing video and as always you guys show us how to hit these shots and most importantly - the drills/progressions to get us there! One quick question, I know we should focus on the high hand low hand drop (up, down and up again) during the drills, but in a game should we still be thinking of actively dropping the racquet head in the forward swing - or if we have loose hands will it just happen naturally? I used to concentrate on it for the forehand but then after a while it just naturally happens if you start in the right position and end in the right position. Thanks again, best videos out there as always!

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

With practice and high repetition, it should start to occur naturally without you having to think about it. In matches, your focus should be on point construction

[@JaivantGANESH]

It's working!

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

👍

[@TennisLifeTV]

Jesus this is probably one of the hardest drills. You still have so much control hitting it as a onehanded backhand. Makes me feel bad 🥲

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Keep working on it, you'll get it

Both have superb bh but I'm personally a huge fan of Alex's 2hbh although I'm aware he's a 1hbh player. Reminds me on Agassi's. He has both hips and shoulders more aligned at the contact, almost parallel to the baseline. Both arms extended. Great.

[@thanhdovan6892]

Quá hay!

[@007FlipScot]

Hello fantastic content. Does Alex have an eastern backhand grip on his non dominant hand, I imagine it’s because he has a one hander. Do you recommend that for more spin and control?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

An eastern backhand grip is ideal for one handers but not so good for two handers. The continental is the way to go

[@OAG2252]

[@rishabhkukreja5405]

Can you elaborate a little more on the swing path? I have noticed, my backhand is somewhat like the mirror image of my forehand, which doesn't seem to be the case with your stroke. I don't have as much control on the shape, depth and sometimes, even direction of the shot. On a great day, I'll rip backhands with reasonable pace and topspin consistently, but I can't vary the pace, spin, height etc nearly as well. I can slow my forehand swing down and still keep balls in no trouble, but struggle with that for my backhand. My backhand also doesn't respond to a lot of different positions I'm thrown into, I can alter my forehands swing to suit any kind of ball and often hit good shots from out of position, but am only comfortable facing certain types of shots on my backhand. This really shows in practice, when I hit balls well, but during a set, when I'm thrown into all sorts of positions, my drive backhand tends to fail, and I resort to slicing.

[@breslin13]

I had a decent backhand but knew i was missing something - which this video has highlighted : Lifting your leading leg....explained here kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp-Qc5eabJl5a8U It greatly helps with your forward momentum and body rotation. As a leftie my leading left leg was stuck to the ground and greatly inhibiting the kinetic energy of my backhand technique. So thank you guys - great advice in this video.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@Sweeney-Kubach]

I have been hitting my two hander like a baseball swing, I bring my racquet back around waist level, with the racquet head pointed up, and I use my left leg, and push off my left leg, as I make contact, and I have to admit, after a 22 year hiatus from tennis, my two hander is still extremely consistent and my return serve is still solid. The problem I am having Coach, is my footwork during rallies, because I have two hip replacements, I have been doing footwork drills, and with in 3 months I have lost 25 pounds and I am able to move around much better. I play tennis doubles with players who are in the late 70s and 80s and they love making me run, and watch a 51 year old fat guy run for drop shots!

[@miljanajanculovski]

What kind of grip do you use on one-handed BH? In this particular drill. Eastern backhand or continental?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

For the one-handed backhand it's best to use the eastern backhand grip

[@MrFeast603]

Hey simon I hope you reply to me. I am doing ITF coaching advanced players course and I tried this drill of using left hand for topspin as my student was hitting flat. And I was failed. They stated that the top hand is not for topspin. The bottom hand is used for topspin so this drill is wrong. What do you think about this. I have been following you for a long time. Please reply. Also are you certified coach?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

That is one of the strangest reasons for failing a course. Which country is this in? The top hand is responsible for creating the low to high swing which produces topspin on the two handed backhand. It’s something most good coaches know, and you’ll see plenty of pros using this drill in training. I just watched paolini do this in New York a few weeks ago. I saw Djokovic doing it during training. Sinner doing it as a junior. I’m a national professional RPT coach, and LTA senior performance coach (level 4) I learned a lot of good things on the RPT course I did. Almost nothing on my level 1, 2 and 3 LTA courses but my tutor for level 4 was excellent and he taught me a lot. So much depends on the tutor and if they have a certain pass rate they need to maintain (looking for any reason to fail people)

[@CooperCoal]

i’ve had coaches tell me to keep both feet grounded as i swing, and to not step with my back leg. Is it worth keeping this or does it actually affect the stroke?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

It depends your level. For beginners that works ok, for balance reasons. After that, keeping the back foot planted becomes a serious problem on 90% of backhands

[@pleaseenteraname1103]

I heard that Djokovic and Andre Agassi are right hand dominant on their back hand is that true.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

I wouldn’t say so. Both hands play their role

My problem with my forehand is that i cant hit clearly when im trying to hit with a lot of power and because of that i lose lot of points.... What am i doing wrong?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

That’s a million dollar question. Without seeing your forehand in action, it’s impossible for me to say what the problem is. If you’re losing the contact point, focus on really seeing the ball well right onto the strings

[@daptor1427]

Try to find out if it's a problem with technique, footwork or something else. Usually it's easier to discover with a coach or when you record a video of yourself playing. In general, limit your power to a point of where your technique is still fully intact and where you still manage to hit clean shots. In general you don't really need *that* much power until higher levels of play, since you can get people in a lot of trouble by using moderate power and getting good angles/accuracy so your opponent has to run and hit a weaker shot. But it depends on your preferred style of play, so if you love to exchange heavy shots from the baseline and overpower your opponent you might need a different approach from what I said.

[@LGLG-mc3dt]

I feel like better the style of Nadal, Sinner whose backhand has no or very little power position. It is just a simple leveled backswing. That’s more natural for me.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Some players benefit more from that style of swing 👍

[@MrBpepz]

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

😂 thank you 🙏

[@garthdolha3579]

Hey Simon, a little off topic, but I have the same raquet (Dunlop CX tour 18X20) as you. I noticed you have lead tape from the 2 down to the 4 o'clock position. Do you have any in the handle? or anywhere else you have lead? I find it a little jarring outside the sweet spot in its stock form and not as stable, therefore, is the lead that you added the reason you applied it there and whats your thoughts to the added lead tape?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

The lead tape is mainly a test, I wanted to see if the increased weight would add some extra power without more effort, so far it's worked out well. I feel more stable at contact and get a bit more out of the racket powerwise
