Tennis One Handed Backhand: Just 5 Easy Steps For Perfecting Your One Handed Backhand

[@TotalTennisDomination]

Which fundamental do you need to work on?

[@VC-gd7tu]

How to line up and get behind ball? Pls help!

[@dayostical]

Definitely my grip and serve toss.

[@steinanderson]

1 Drinking beer, I feel like I need a LOT of drills to work on this funadmental! 2 Also footwork which is kind of improved by fundamental 1

[@javierdonaire6877]

Perfect lesson. Thanks a lot. Technic and training method. I need the same for the forehand. I will search it probably it is already. Thanks again.

[@tristanpearce78]

The approach volley coming to the net. I can often just run kamikaze style with no first volley leaving myself exposed to the passing shot

[@Hi-techtenniscom]

Like another reviewer stated, this is the best instruction I’ve ever seen on the one handed backhand. Simply explained, yet Kevin understands the subtle biomechanics that will take this shot from a liability to an outright major weapon. His explanation of timing, waiting, and fluidity at the end is so crucial and it’s something so few people understand. Just a brilliant video.

[@TotalTennisDomination]

Thanks so much!

[@sungsangkimkim2497]

Thanks always, you're the best!

[@leonardgalozkil9671]

Very good explanation of backhand stroke.

[@masyrafnukman3932]

I wish you continued success in the field of tennis and youtube thank you

[@leonrossbotham1139]

Brilliant bud. Thanks

[@b.shankarrao9149]

Explained well master.

[@christopherjohnson5486]

Absolutely brilliant stuff

[@mmixelakis]

Well explained! Thanks

[@ronbocian]

This guy is the best! My game improves every time I watch one of his videos.

[@calladium15]

Dear coach We love you from Turkey.Your lessons are helpful.

[@purnajitchatterjee9325]

Thanks, this is fantastic. Will also check out the 2 handed

[@deenwith2ez541]

Hey man. Ur honestly the GOAT for online tennis instruction. 8 Years of coaches ripping me off and searching the internet on technique (Maybe other instructors mean well but could not effectively explain concepts). I finally feel a chance at playing in college after doubting myself for years since, my work put in did not equate to my progress.

[@dazzid]

This video is pure gold. All the concepts are relevant, clear and well explained. He is showing the movement and the gesture after each explanation, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 times and even more. If you don't get it, call your doctor.

[@progressivedemagogue8480]

You're a genius as usual :)

[@raysfonexchange]

The only tennis coach who gets a like before even watching the video!

[@bracemitchell5062]

It's true! I liked before watching!!

[@DM-bx1zv]

I did too! His first few examples showed that he can demonstrate what he teaches. I respect that.

[@orangechicken3408]

Best one hand backhand instruction. Matter of fact one of the best instructors on KZbin. My $80 an hour lesson I recently got not anywhere near this man’s level. He has clear understandings of tennis mechanics in its entirety.I wud pay $$$ to get real coaching from this guy. Great job coach! 👏

[@victornobrega5290]

Amazing!!!!!! Great video

[@bresoo]

Great content great vid

[@maverduc]

Nice video, I’ll try it next time I play

[@jdjacobs8833]

Best one-hand backhand instructional video that I've seen. Everyone else skips over the hips.

[@octopuliander6291]

You are a natural instructor and a teacher. Very nice energy and style... Awesome

[@karlrimel8792]

The best explanation I've seen. Can't wait to implement these techniques in my game.

[@juanitavaldez7797]

Best one handed backhand lesson !!!! Thanks

[@JC-nx5pf]

Great instruction!!!

[@danoliver8804]

Just what I needed. Great vid...thanks.

[@cipciop903]

Happy to see that there are still people making videos on the single handed backhand which should be dedicated to all those who believe that the double handed one is much better in the modern tennis.

[@ojatt]

I was a 2 hander once but the one hander improves my slice and volleys on the backhand side. Best of all it looks cool to rip a BH winner with you pose with racket above your head at the end of the stroke. Must be an awesome sight to the receiver.

[@n3307v]

Great video. You're an excellent teacher.

[@princessoftennis5539]

We are a beginner tennis KZbin club working out in Korea. We learn a lot from your channel. Thank you always. I love your tennis video.

[@TotalTennisDomination]

Awesome! Thank you, super excited that my videos are touching players in every part of the world!

[@eduardogaitan6604]

Excellent instruction! Please keep me posted! Thank you

[@freedeworld]

You are very good at teaching!

[@modestlim324]

Kevin, you're the man. Tennis can be a simple game with your coaching.

[@TotalTennisDomination]

Thanks

[@in2deep2008]

You are the best! Probably never able to get the correct backhand form if I didn't watch this video. THANKS!

[@suggssecurity]

Brilliantly explained this coach is spot on!

[@benjaminlimper6717]

I love your videos ! perfect !

[@jimirizzla]

You're phenomenal coach! Awesome video

[@felipebalmaceda6245]

Man I've seen a loooot of videos on youtube explaining this, but you took it to a whole different level! Congrats!!

[@mbuonfig]

With out a doubt, the best tutorial on the one handed backhand I have viewed. Concise and relatable to the majority of us out there, which is the recreational club player. Excellent instruction!

[@waynenergy]

Very good and detail demonstration and explanation on every moves. Thanks.

[@NathanRomero-afL]

Honestly you’re clearly among the best tennis instructors !! Focusing on the fundamentals is the key to almost everything ^^ what a great video to learn 1HBH the right way

[@EugeneK]

Besides the horrendous overgrip , the instructions are just perfect: precise and to the point. The terminology is well defined and every idea is passed simply and clearly. One of the best BH instructions on web. Well done !!!! Subscribed and your fan from now on.

[@jonathan_bass]

Best presentation on the topic I have seen! Thanks Kevin.

[@jonwashburn5215]

Awesome video. That tip on timing changed my shot. Very much appreciated my friend!

[@ATIL1304]

Nice,fluidly,easy explained.Very helpfull.Thanks Coach...

[@bracemitchell5062]

Wow! Amazing information and Content!!!

[@christianingemannbentsen3]

Thank you for the great content! It makes so much sense when you devide it in to five steps. Here in Denmark it’s 8.45 AM now, the sun is shining and I’m off to the tennis court with my brother to practice my one handed backhand. Let’s go 🤘🏼🎾

[@brettneuberger6466]

Love this lessen. Super helpful. Thanks!

[@RossCallen2028]

Excellent!!! Excellent !!! Excellent!!!

[@paddlepower888]

1:42 “You can get everything else wrong, but if you get the racquet face right the ball goes over the net.“ 👍

[@philbeamish-white6479]

This is the first video clip where someone explained the backhand grip in a way that fully makes sense, ie the hammer analogy, can't wait to get out and try it! Thanks so much

[@johnnycoetzer6922]

Unbelievable how well this is explained both technically and practically.

[@PogiHamster]

my cousin who originally taught me tennis and my one-handed backhand sent this to me, and since then, I’ve been playing on-and-off for 10+ years, this has increased my confidence on my backhand from 60% to a 85-95% reliability. thanks!

[@globalleadershipfoundry793]

Great instructions. For years I have been making the exact errors you are pointing out. I already started to change into double handed backhand because I had lost any faith in my formerly good single handed one. Watched your video, went on court today and started hitting winners! Thank you!

[@jensonwu81]

Thanks Kevin- great step by step detailed instruction. Combining all the 5 steps works wonder which has drastically improved my one handed backhand. I can swing freely with less effort but with lots of power and acceleration.

[@celinapenteado1556]

Thanks a million.

[@thegospelthegameaman1649]

Thanks, Great Instructions!!!!

[@7Bisosi7]

This guy is amazing, I tried today two videos about a good forehead and the one explaining Djokovic's, I felt really different, a friend later saw that I was too stiff on my knees, after also adding that I felt a completely different forehead. Kudos!

[@TotalTennisDomination]

Thanks, I love hearing about the results of watching a video.

[@ffiongoss-alexander3039]

So happy I stumbled upon this. Went to the court yesterday with these specific things in mind and my backhand looked hella better at the end of the session than the start. Plus, that cut to you with the hammer was a perfect comedy shot. 11/10 would recommend

[@mustaphaasso5136]

Great job

[@timothybint4960]

Great instruction 👍

[@김인중-g6k]

Nice explanation. Thanks.

[@stephen89]

Thanks so much on some of your recent videos .you cover the fundamentals real well instead of others tennis coaches who teach that this is “how it should look” which I never get instead of how to execute the stroke mechanically

[@Sebber3250]

Excellent instructional video. I have a 2-handed backhand, but I would love to be able to hit a 1-handed backhand like this. It is such an elegant and beautiful shot.

[@TotalTennisDomination]

Yes, I agree. I use to have a two-hander all through college and switched after college. I love hitting a clean one-hander. Thanks for watching.

[@danoliver8804]

Great vid....thanks

[@seanyeageradventuresbooks6566]

Really clear explanation. Great instructional video.

[@ejaikumar3068]

Excellent example.

[@muradimmu]

Great job! Crystal clear instructions. Thank you!

[@joshuaanyim144]

This dude is absolutely amazing

[@peejread2309]

I agree with the early unit turn, waiting, initiate and swing. I struggle sometimes with the early unit turn when playing with good players. Nice video!

[@milllworks]

brilliant!

[@oregionidavide7229]

Good job man

[@kuskut]

Hi Kevin! Thanks for the tips. Here is what I've been doing recently: 1. Moving my right foot across 2. Bending my knees 3. Keeping my eyes on the ball through contact - head down 4. Dropping my racquet - from about shoulder height I am getting good [easy] power, so I am experimenting with my grip to get some heavy top spin. Yesterday I hit my best backhand in a while, without feeling any strain on my body. Anyway, let me know your thoughts.

[@chowchichang2922]

You chose the right racquet to demonstrate that Orange really stands out ... able to watch the stroke clearly

[@DEForce-fm8rt]

You and your Wife are truly a dynamic duo 🔥 in your teaching tennis presentations. For near 40 yrs I’ve been learning and teaching tennis and always riding the waves of tennis strokes evolution (sometimes seeing what others don’t) You my friend are an exceptional wave riding tennis instructor 🌊🎾😲🙂

[@cyrusdaylac7474]

Excellent breakdown Kevin!

[@harrybob2682]

Happy to see you're back, found this channel when i started playing was abit disappointing you stopped posting, one of the best on youtube! Hope the algorithm will be with you this time :)

[@brucezidane]

Simple and well explained. Thanks man.

[@TotalTennisDomination]

Thanks Jorge!

[@masyrafnukman3932]

Thank you

[@musarra195]

Great stuff. Clear and concise. Great tip on early racquet prep

[@thomasmedeiros5722]

I been coaching and teaching tennis for 30 years. Solid fundamentals are the foundation on which your tennis game is built. With out them your consistency drops and your tactics are limited. More points are lost and you give points to your opponents. On the one hand backhand I love how Kelvin’s racquet preparation. With his hitting shoulder turned and racquet held high it is more difficult to read his shot. Is going cross court, down the line,? Will it be a top spin, flat drive, slice or drop. When you play at a high level you are trained to read your opponents so things like racquet preparation on ground strokes and ball toss on serve can provide an early warning to a skilled opponent. Lots of players have a forehand weapon to attack. It’s important to have a reasonable backhand that is not valuable and a liability. You don’t have to hit winners off it but you have to have consistency and placement. If you also have disguise and variety of spin this will help turn you into a mean ground stroke machine.

[@Better_Call_Raul]

How does the unit turn differ between one handed drive and one handed slice? Can one use an identical unit turn for both shots?

[@Better_Call_Raul]

This is great. How does the unit turn differ between one handed drive and one handed slice? Can one use an identical unit turn for both shots?

[@sergioquiroga2663]

Muchas gracias por los típs...un abrazo desde La Paz Bolivia

[@aftabkhan1961]

Great vid with great explanation and drills. 10/10

[@fraychevere3673]

Love this coach

[@Chris-yv4xg]

Best explanation ever

[@shanesawyer4186]

I really appreciate the step-by-step breakdown. I know I've really got to work on that racquet drop portion. Great advice Kevin. Thanks!

[@oliverwilland3535]

Man, you fixed my backhand.. I really missed the initiation. That gives the extra effortless boost! Thanks a lot..

[@splooshy4014]

Fantastic lesson! Thanks very much, Kevin! Subbed :)

[@lamajbigan7152]

The best online coach bar none

[@TotalTennisDomination]

Thanks Lamaj!

[@magoobuellsergiob633]

man .. you are very good !! Congratulations on your work.

[@TotalTennisDomination]

Thanks a lot!

[@alexc2505]

Great video and advice 👍

[@lucasdeoliveirasilveira]

Amazing vídeo. Helped me a lot. Thank you

[@fernandomunoz6293]

Excelente explicación, gracias!

[@TotalTennisDomination]

Gracias!

[@marco11997733]

Love his videos. They have helped my game for sure. I would take lessons from him in a heartbeat.

[@DAmicoDanceHouston]

Really great information! I prefer the one hander. I haven’t been playing long and when I started I had some power and it just disappeared. I’ve been trying to figure out why. I def need to change my grip and fire my hips first. I appreciate your clear precise, instruction. Thanks!

[@PatentHome]

Thanks

[@MORACHIS]

Hey Kevin, thanks a lot for your videos...they have helped me to figure out where my weak points are...also, a favor, can you add some videos of your swings, backhands, etc...in slow motion? I know you do put some videos, but if you can add some from differente angles in slow motion we human beings (you are our god, dude) could follow and pay closer attention to those moves you make so effortlessly and copy them on the court. Thanks in advance, keep up the good work! Regards from Mexico!

[@Godzilla9]

Thanks Kevin for that wonderful lesson, I have a decent backhand, which will get better with the five point execution. Best wishes !

[@SmokinTyres]

Great explanations and it looks so easy! Thank you!

[@akifm6160]

Great point on initiating the hips as the hip activation must stop prior to contact. If they’re still moving at contact, you will hit long.
