I have been using a two hander my entire life and now that I had surgery on my left shoulder I am having problems using my left hand so I am thinking about using a one hander, thank you for your great lesson on showing me how to hit the ball correctly my friend. You are a awesome Coach Simon

Grazie Simon buon anno e buon tennis

[@MattHembling]

Thanks for this video! My wife is helping me get started in tennis, but she was only taught the 2 handed backhand, which just feels really unnatural and awkward to me. I look forward to trying these tips out after work!

[@chrishamel3001]

I’ve always had a poor two handed back hand. Thank you for this tutorial. Improving my one handed backhand will allow me to get up to intermediate level quickly and improve n a two handed back hand in the long term.

Great video, thanks a lot! Also, did anyone notice the hummingbird flying across the screen during Wawrinka's backhand at 3:48?

Yep, great footage! Two things of beauty - backhand and bird!

Excellent! I miss my one hander! I’m wishing my arm is strong and I can return to my one handed killer backhand! Thanks for the inspiration too 🎾🏆🤗

Thanks, Simon. Could you please clarify which bevel the heel pad of your palm sits on as well? I think it makes a difference and it’s been a struggle for me for a long time.

[@bensonshares]

Any tips for a slice backhand? Does the ball height help determine whether a slice or normal one-handed backhand is best? Thanks for creating such clear and concise instructions!

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Perfect slice backhand lesson is coming soon

[@elbru78]

Excellent ! Could you please do the same video with very low balls so we can see the legs ?

[@3r1kz]

Wawrinka already looks at the opposite side even before he makes contact with the ball. His technical ability is flawless.

[@grahaminvancouver]

My question has always been on when to release my left hand (I’m a righty). Seems like some players almost follow through with it…. I played with a guy with a good one hander the other day and he felt I was releasing too early. When is too early? 😊Nice video bro! Thanks 🎾

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

I would say any time between the racket drop phase and the lag phase is a good release point. Before then it’s too early to

Hey coach, what racquet do you use, I have been using the duel g 330, its great for my ohbh but for my forehand it feels clubby as i have a bent elbow western grip, im trying to learn a straight arm forehand but i think i need a lighter racquet, thanks.

[@LouisFoppiano]

could you do a doubles return of serve class

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Tactical, technical or both?

both would be great especially the sooner the better usta season (summer) begins soon@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial

What is this court? 😮

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

A wall court 👍

[@nathanieljackson6777]

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficialThank you for answering this question! I was so confused about the court. Everything about the one-handed backhand fundamentals is well explained. I especially liked how you explained the limitations of certain grips for low and high balls.

[@wladmanzi007]

Nice Reminder ! I learned Backhand by copying Ivan Lendl in late 80's... 🙂 now my inspiration is Stanimal !

Stan has the best one hander I’ve ever seen, incredible power

Simon, which camera do you use to record video ?

You nailed how to teach a one handed backhand. This is the best video i have seen on this topic. Do you know who I believe founded the modern one handed bbackhand technique? I believe it to be Eliot Teltscher. Thank you for the awesome content!

[@도롱이-u5s]

I think wavrinka is using semi -western bh.how you think?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Stan uses an eastern, same grip I advocate in this lesson 👍

[@Huseyinisiksel.4924]

It looks different than a standard eastern bachand grip. I think his palm is on bevel 8 and index knuckle between bevel 1 and 2. It's either like this or he holds eastern backhand with a hammer grip.

I'm struggling with aim and faster ball coming towards my backhand

[@claudiow1129]

Simon are you using 1 or 2 handed your matches? I don't see many coaches talking about one handed BH being BETTER than 2 handed. I particularly think one handed is better unless you learned 2 handed since childhood

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

I use a two hander but this year I’ve been using the one hander due to a bad left shoulder injury. It’s allowed me to develop the single hander

[@stijnvandecan3080]

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

🙏

[@ronm7114]

Can you explain why the one hander can feel so different compared to a two hander?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

It’s a very different shot. One hander you’re relying on arm extension and shoulder/scapula stability/strength whilst for the two hander we can focus more on trunk rotation and power generation from the top hand, as if we’re hitting a left handed forehand

[@ronm7114]

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial tx, i think a one hander is also more from the heart. Since forehand is related to ego. Which is why u can correct a lot more with it, thus as well with the two hander. The heart is more pure, thus the technique on the one hander needs to be very good. Since u cant correct much with a one hander. Thats my take. I also think that heart carries over to the forehand giving it more power when playing with a one hander and sense of freedom.

[@TennisCourtSIdeView]

Simon, all excellent points in terms of what a national, international player achieves when they hit theor one hamded backhand. Are there any tips that would help a beginner, intermediate, advanced or slightly higher to achieve these aspects. Especially, how ro hit in front? I dont believe a player intemds to hit a little late but it is that none of these yiutune videos explain how to hit futher in front, in terms of what acrually helps a player like yourself, hit further in front. Ive actually hit with you and played points against against you but this video fails to explain the core teaching aspects that helps a beginner, intermediate or advanced player actually develop

[@TennisCourtSIdeView]

I meant to add. All of these things can be explained within their understanding of a practice swing and the important aspects to develop, understand but as a coach, it is important to explain how they can achieve these things, as, players by themselves, may understand the technical explanation but struggle when a ball is travelling towards them. I'm conscious that I never see this explained in these videos. For me, that would be the most important thing, because they will then feel in control and start to develop, or enhance, in the case of an advanced or national player, by doing these other things that you don't mention

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Making contact in front comes down to many factors, being in the right position (footwork) having an ideal backswing, tracking the ball properly from the time it comes off the opponents racket, early preparation, and using the correct stance for that particular shot all play a part. For mastering the technique of this shot, we have a step by step system that we use which is what our backhand course on our website is based on. This video may help you with timing though - kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2ivfHiGmttses0feature=shared

[@wolfgangmarkusgstrein8522]

The rise of the two-handed backhand is mainly due to the fact that the age at which kids start playing tennis is getting younger and younger. Children have more power and of course more stability with the two-handed backhand than with the one-handed backhand.

[@smythie27]

Why not be flexible with your grips?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

As in change your grip for various shots?

[@Welcomelatet]

No such thing.
