The Backhand
When you hit the tennis ball on your non-dominant side, you are hitting a backhand. There are several types of backhands you can hit — a one-handed backhand, a two-handed backhand, and a slice backhand. This section of contains videos that teach you the techniques – both fundamental and advanced – that every pro uses to hit a backhand. We teach the backhand by breaking the shot down into easy-to-follow steps using videos and pictures of some of the top pros on tour. We then move to progressions — essentially a series of drills you can do to build the fundamentals of the shot. Finally, we present more advanced techniques that will turn your backhand into a formidable weapon.

okay
i need to learn tips how andy roddick play double hand backhand
Wow. The amount of comments here just go to show that many people are either really good with their backhands, or just like to neglect it.
Anyways, if you ever find this Will, could you answer my question.
) At one point I felt frustrated that I wasn’t getting the power easily while hitting and started hitting hard. After 2 hard backhands my right wrist started to hurt quite a bit. Is it possible that having semi-western grip on my right hand of my backhand caused my wrist to be injured?
Here we go. I used to use a semi-western grip on both hands of my backhand.(Hopefully you get that
Hope you can answer my question.:D
, and great website you got here. Kudos to you and your crew.
P.S. I changed my right-hand grip to a continental and everything seems fine now
Thanks once again for another great series of videos. How you break down the mechanics of all of these strokes makes all the difference in effective instructing. You add an element of science which means everything to those who (are new to the game – like me) and feel that tennis is all art. By following your step by step fundamentals, I can honestly say I see more consistency. Still a long way to go on this journey, but your videos atleast provide the appropriate bearing. That goes for all of your lesson videos – forehand, serve, backhand, etc. Thank you for putting them together and offering them online. They are an incredible learning tool.
i don't find the vedio , there's nothing except some unopened picture“`i don't know why “
I can not seem to find a section on drills for the different strokes specifically backhand drills.
