THE COACH
Patrick
It sounds so so simple, but it works so well! I’ve been playing for almost 20 years, and this simple tip made my backhand the most reliable it’s ever been. Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed!
How do you think it helped your backhand?
I think it’s a good tip but I’m curious to know how exactly it works.
Dude had been playing with a straight backhand for 20 years? I smell 💩
@@watcher687 because the guy probably play tennis like my grandma, any tip about anything could potentially help
i love your style of teaching , whenever you want to teach something you also compliment your student , very smart
That's the way!
One handed backhand is a very rewarding shot, second only to an unreturnable fast serve. My one handed backhand is my most confident and consistent shot if I am early to the ball because I can get my feet set. But hitting it on the move is a totally different story!
Es genial lo simple del tip. Los golpes de tenis son tan complejos que, muchas veces, sirve fijarse en algo puntual que incluso nunca antes lo habíamos notado. En mi caso, hoy lo pongo en práctica.
Too many players believe that the 1 handed backhand is supposed to be done with a straight arm but in reality, the straight arm is the end product, not the whole shot. Excellent tip by Patrick
No you lose power. Ben the less you can.
Best backhands Dimitrov and Gasquet are allmost full stiffed.
Straight arm prep is awesome - look at how thiem handles over the shoulder balls and how he can generate pace off the backfoot by treating his straight arm like a bat similar to a thbh
Thiem Gasquet and Dimitrov but WE have to imitate Federer ?? Come on 😅
Straight arm seems to produce less error. With the bent arm, often times the elbow will lead, and the racket will drag behind resulting in power loss, late contact, hitting over the ball too much, jamming, etc. you want the racket to only be behind the leading arm before contact. After contact, you want the racket to be in front, and snap through the ball.
Federer starts with bent arm, but straightens it well before contact.
No one has his arm bent when making the contact with the ball unless the opponent hits a fast and powerful serve or a ripper from the baseline. It's the backswing that can be either bent or straight, whichever style suits the player (Thiem with the straight back-swing, Gasquet with the extremely bent back-swing for instance). But their arms are completely straight upon the contact with the ball. Otherwise you don't have a backhand, especially the single hander.
Bent back-swing is easier to generate power because it creates that whip-like kinetic chain before the contact with the ball, but the timing and precision and control of the racket are crucial because it's more error-prone.
Straight back-swing is less error-prone but cannot generate a lot of power because it lacks the whip-like kinetic chain. A player with the calibre and physical strength like Dominic Thiem is an exception though, but you can notice that his torso and the follow-through are more dynamic in order to compensate for the loss of power.
If and only if the ball is traveling at 95 mph or faster to your single-handed backhand, even Roger or Gasquet cannot do the complete bent-backswing motion because there's not enough time - they simply take their racket back in an abridged fashion in order to have a better control of the racket.
He always works with folks who already have all the basics solidly! Club players won't see or be able to do it.
Well yeah dude get a coach like this kid has 😂. The boy in the video isn't looking at RUclips videos to learn a backhand.
@@dadsfreetimeclassicgaming1220 he’s stefanos tsitsipas’ brother
straight right arm on both 1h and 2h backhands is a revolution in game, that allows you to engage whole core into the shot.
Does your arm get tired at all doing it that way?
@@joed7331 you pull it with left hand so it soesnt get too stiff and release with full relaxation
@@joed7331 it gets tired either way lol. When you use your core with the straight-arm you have more of a baseliners tech. Most guys that do this have a hard time hitting it on the run or approaching the net with it...not great at creativity either. Its more powerful though.
@@dadsfreetimeclassicgaming1220 on the run, shorter ball etc are all no only bend, but also finish doesnt require right elbow up, you can hug your body in finish with some of the shots no trouble. We are strictly speaking specific shots, that are comfortable height and you are not late and want to generate maximum damage to an opponent. tennis should be played, not just executing robot shots. I agree with you
Musetti great example, on paper guy shouldnt be in atp. But he is just outstanding tennis player
For anyone watching: you can take it back bent if you find it more comfortable but you better straighten it out at contact. The key to the one handed backhand is to hit with a straight arm.
I agree
Not as straight as Thiems though. His is too tense altogether. He just muscles the ball without any feel. I've never seen him hit a short angle.
And prepare this way too bringing power from thé shoulder and back.
Yesterday I played tennis for 1st time in s year, and I played better than ever thanks to your advices, since I didnt play but I watched some of your videos. It was like I was practicing in my mind and somehow it made me improve my tennis.
Thanks Patrick 😎
pleaae more about one handed back hand
The point is to take it back fast bent and unwind to a straight arm. They're are all straight arm at contact. He isn't saying make contact with a bent arm.
Also if you listen, he says when the balls are fast, bend your arm like federer to get it back faster and swing to a straight arm faster. Like a in and out
Thats a tough call but if he hits better then i guess its the right one. I like Rogers backhand but i would probably take five or six back hands over his. I think Dominic thiem has a great backhand he straightens his arm.
Love the explanation! I'll be implementing these with my students! Let's go Simona Halep!
I will try it tomorrow !! Thanks for the tip as always 🇨🇵
Patrick, you are amazing.
Those edits were lovely 😂
Excelente 🎉
Thiem doesnt bent the arm, or am i wrong?
you need a coach to tell you that? Learn from the players who actually play the game. Not the coaches who spend their time "learning others how to play"
Maybe slight bend on takeback, and not stiff. Then straighten out more when driving through the ball.
Great tip but the video editing as he is demonstrating is EEElite. 😎
I was going to comment that he hits the ball like Stef and well - yeah lol
My one hand backhands either end up in the net at fast speeds.
If it's too fast for your footwork you should abreviate your backswing or hit a slice. Rodger Federer would do both these things right?
Rick Macci says keep it straight you say keep it bent
i think it depends on the person. the straight arm technique does prevent a lot of elbow injuries though and I think it is safer.
What do you feel is better?
@@yakzivz1104 i disagree. Forearm strength and racket weight saves elbows. You gotta diffuse the vibration before it gets up there.
@@dadsfreetimeclassicgaming1220 straight arm takes the elbow completely out of the equation, whereas no vibration goes to the elbow- therefore no soreness in elbow. I've tried both techniques and the straight arm version is very effective. You have to remember that the shoulder and lats also play a huge role on the 1hbh as well.
@yakzivz1104 from personal experience, the straight arm will not generate the maximum power. Try both methods & choose which one's more natural for you.
Plus loosen the grip. Your students are very sharp learners.
Tommy haas, Shapovalov, Domenic thiem etc. They wouldn’t agree with you.
Plus, for beginners is way easier to start with a straight arm, once you’re already in the position you should be in the contact point.
Thank you my black hand. Much much better
hmm tell that to Thiem lol
awesome BH , but is not so safe right? whit side spin more than top spin in most of his shots for example...
@@pedropaivalemos it’s a stiff method. Could cause elbow problems.
and Shapovalov
Thiem's backhands like shotgun but i agree it's not consistent like Wawrinka's backhands
Yes, Thiem has the stiffest arm (in history) of the one-handers. Fast down to the baseline, but no variation, no short angles because he only knows one way of hitting it.
How tall is he? He look as tall as stef
Forehand is exactly tsitsipas
i met pavlos tsitsipas
Mac I, tells you that the arm is straight when you pull back, you say bent, what is true.
That's what Thiem has never learned.
Good God!!...he cannot teach!!
What is pabam pabam and sooooishh 😅
Patrick was just illustrating how quickly you need to attack the ball on backhand side. Once technique is correct
Patrick is like a hype man for his own teaching. Fortunately for him no matter how good or bad is teaching is everybody always comments a billion times
And then there’s Thiem and others who have a straight arm on the takeback. I call BS on this one. It is a personal preference.
Useless... sory
Shity again ! Stiff your arm as much as you Can . Bent the less you Can , the main spring is the shoulder !!!!!
More terrible advice for rec level players. The straight arm is imperative to build a strong foundation on the 1hbh. Do this for years then you can begin thinking about bending the arm.
Haha, PM's routine of delivering bogus advice to technically accomplished players. No idea why he does that.
Ce mec est un escroc...
Demander donc à Rune ou Halep.
