The Two Handed Backhand

/by

Very Simple Key Points to Identify and Emulate:

  • Make a simple unit turn with your hips and shoulders to take the racquet back. Make sure the right hand pulls the racket back to establish a strong weight transfer and “pro turn”. I like the right arm extended.
  • A closed stance with strong front leg position.
  • Staying balanced through contact and driving the back knee to the front knee.
  • Keeping the dominant elbow close to side at contact
  • Strong non-dominant hand and arm (emulating a non-dominant arm forehand) driving towards the target.
  • Driving the torso square to the target and Keeping the back leg back through contact
  • Finish with the non-dominant elbow pointing to the target. Make sure you extend BOTH arms to the target then release to your finish.
