- 1 Handed Backhand Fundamentals (Part 1)
Here is part 1 of a 2 part series regarding the keys to having a fantastic 1 handed backhand. There’s so much information out there about technique for all strokes and the 1 handed backhand is no exception. What if you could learn the ONLY things that really matter about the technique of a 1 handed backhand? That is the REAL fundamentals. These fundamentals will help you with control, precision, power and spin. Stop listening to a million things that are often details or advanced technique that may not be appropriate for you. Improve very quickly with these important tips that all professional players use on virtually every backhand. I make it very easy to understand with the simplicity of the words I use as well as the slow motion and full speed video analysis. You’ll see exactly what I’m talking about as I talk about it and you can use these slow motion models to compare to your stroke as I certainly recommend videoing yourself since you often will not know which fundamental technical flaws you have unless you can see yourself. These stroke technique fixes will help you with your tactics to help you win more matches. These helpful tactics include taking time way from the opponent, making the opponent run and forcing them off balance and getting the ball out of their strike zone. Don’t let people pick on your backhand! Learn an effortless, feel good backhand. Learn the no-nonsense fundamentals to make your backhand a weapon!

wrist extension + radial deviation are my favourite points in this video. I don't think people talk about it enough
I had never even heard it before. Brilliant tip!
Im a higher end 4.0 player and have struggled with an inconsistent 1 hander for 2 years. I think I've watched every video on RUclips related to the 1hbh.
I watched this yesterday, imolemented it today during a match, and had infintely more control and spin. My biggest weakness became a weapon. Thanks for the granular detail on mechanics!
This is very good instructions. If you want your backhand to be consistent when u hit it harder, the secret is keeping that wrist in an L shape until contact. A lot of videos does not emphasize that and this is a major part of a consistent backhand.
By far the best detailed backhand video instruction I have ever seen on line. Thanks you so much!!
Great video! My backhand improved dramatically after years of struggle. Way to go! Could you make a similar video to forehand too? Your explanation and teach are very thorough and clear. Cheers!
thanks, this is one of the best videos I've seen.
Incredibly detailed and helped me big way.
Great instructional video, really appreciate the detail, helps me clearly visualise what my eastern grip backhand should look like
A great backhand instructional lesson, you showed some insightful tips that make perfect sense. Thank you.
Great job explaining the wrist and hand position. Without this the stroke breaks down big time! Well done Jeremy! 👍🏻
Best tutorial demonstration . Perfect !!!
Adonis Rico thanks!
Thank you very much because you are the first video instructor I have seen describe the positions of the one hand backhand (grip hand) wrist positions during the back swing, forward swing and at impact. I have needed that info for a long time.
Glen Ross thanks, glad to help!
Hi I think you did THE best clear and perfect video which inspires a TENNIS BEGINNER to correct himself. So we wish you the very best to bring out perfect technicality to budding players. I am so glad to tell you that the very slow and clear presentation will help anyone who wants to correct by step by step copying your both leg and hand movements. well done. it really helped me.
the best video I have seen yet (and I love tennis videos).
Thank you very much. The best backhand lesson for me!
Great attention to detail Jeremy, all thoroughly explained, thank you. Gordon
ripleygordon thank you!
Love all of your videos. Amazingly helpful
Thanks SO MUCH!!!
I’m subscribed
Great info ... thanks.
This is amazing thank you SO much.
These are great tips. Can't wait to practice them! Very good explanation, thanks!
Alvaro Tovar my pleasure Alvaro
Thanks
It’s great
Parabéns Jeremy! o vídeo é muito bom e suas explicações são excelentes
Great explanation,
Thanks for the wrist extension tip.
Brilliant advice.
Very nicely explained
Thank you
That wrist tip man, so important. Cheers
Terrific lesson for me! The one thing that I have never heard on the one-handed backhand is the movement of the wrist, from extended to the radial deviation. I am hoping that this will solve the problem of my backhands going to high and not having the power I need. Appreciate the tip and instruction! Can’t wait to try!
Joyce Harris great to hear. Good luck!
Good video. You explained all the points well.
After working together on my 1 handed backhand, this is a perfect video for review. I’m working on earlier preparation and that increased right shoulder turn to the left net post. Thanks again.
Steven Gershman thanks and good luck!
Now watch Roger Federer’s most perfect one-handed backhand, and see what he does when he turns (racket preparation) You won’t think this is such a ”perfect video” after all
Excellent demonstration .superb demonstration .eagerly await more 10/10 well done THANKYOU
Dave thank you Dave
Merci beaucoup Jeremy !
your explanations are clear and simple to understand. Thank’s a lot from France .
Please continue.... ;-)
gore alain Merci! I just came back from Lille France a couple weeks ago!
@@FundamentalTennis ha ha ... come back to France. We love u. bravo for your channel :-)
Excellent tennis pro!
Fantastic instructions!
Suresh Tamburan thanks!
So meticulously explained, awesome video. From Malaysia.
John Lim thanks so much! Malaysia that’s awesome!
Great tennis teacher thanks.
Awesome tutorial Jeremy!
Ino Quintana thanks!
Thanks a lot
Awesome!
You have a great one-handed backhand swing. Great tips.
James Choi thanks James.
Great larsson! Jeremy!!👏👏👏👏👏🎾🎾🎾thank you!! Jeremy
Jose Sanabre thanks. My pleasure.
Thanks for this
Didn't know about the wrist extension and deviation, thanks
Shpinga let my pleasure!
Jeremy, Excellent video and suggestions. Just like Roger Hill, I have not heard the tip about wrist extensions. But it sounds logical; can't wait to try it. Thank you
Dmitry Private awesome, thanks! Let me know how it goes!
Great Job !
JOSEPH G. Schaefer Thanks!
9:44 I know this is nit-picky but you point out left hand in front of left thigh, then let loose slightly behind left leg in demo. Sometimes I think we get to rigid in our thinking. Excellent form none the less!
Great vids. Subbed.
thanks alot
Great discussion on wrist.
DeeCee Dubya Thanks!
Amazing keep it up coach:)
Ice in my Veins thanks mate!
Never heard anyone say to also radial deviate the wrist along with the extension will have to try this. Looking forward to part 2 and the contact point which I have trouble with.
ROGER HILL i’m excited for you to try it out. If all goes as planned part two will be posted tomorrow 👍
Great!
Excellent video - thanks. Should the forward foot (right for right-handers) be pointed towards your target or perpendicular to the court? Or should that depend on intended ball direction?
Keeping your hands away from your body and wrist extension/radial deviation is mind blowing. Thanks so much.
So you think Thiem applies wrist extension/radial deviation?
Great vid! Are you using a hammer grip or pistol grip? Basically my question is whether your knuckles align along the same bezel or if the pad of your hand is on the same bezel as your index finger’s knuckle
Excellence
Neutral vs extended deviated wrist explains the variation in my stroke. The latter sort of limiting the (in a good way) the motion of the wrist and creating a consistent starting point
you all probably dont give a damn but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot the login password. I love any tips you can offer me
@Kenzo Tanner instablaster =)
@Ismael Derrick I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Ismael Derrick it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
@Kenzo Tanner you are welcome xD
Over the years I have accumulated about 30 one handed backhand videos from some great instructors. I have moved yours to the top of my list because of the excellent detail and demonstrations. I think one fundamental that you did not specify but that you demonstrate beautifully is to position your head so that you are looking over your right shoulder at the oncoming ball. This insures a good unit turn and a coiling of the shoulders around the hips. I do have one question. Some instructors suggest that you point the butt of the racket at the oncoming ball.
Do you consciously try to do this or is it not a factor in you technique? Thanks again Jeremy for your excellent tennis instruction.
jkn1951 hi thank you for watching. I think this sundays video will answer your questions.
Do you need to have wrist extension and radial deviation for the 2 hand backhand and forehand, too? What are thre wrist position for ground strokes?
Nice job
Emma Salgado thank you Emma
you are the best I like your lesson beckoned all types what you give us it's a beautiful ICU future and send my friends you're more thank you very much one more time
Vladimir Vidov thanks!
Fantastic explanation of wrist and hand positions, extension and radial deviation. 💪 Does this occur in the FH as well? Some players lack wrist extension flexibility, unable to get to 90° bend/layback. Are they toast if unable to get that wrist position? Much has been said about this position we see with top players, like Fed, Nadal, and women too.
Keep putting up these great videos, and it would be great to see one like this for the forehand! 👍
hello, watch his slow motion swing and tell me if he keeps that wrist position during the whole stroke like he is talking about. love to hear your answer
Great video Jeremy! I really liked how you talked about wrist extension and radial deviation. Watched lots of videos before and they never mentioned that.
Do you pull with the left hand while holding onto the throat like with the BH volley? That was a great tip too!
Kevin Law that seems to be a one handed backhand secret as several people have mentioned that they hadn’t heard about the wrist position before which is incredibly important. As far as the non-dominant hand on the throat it does not act in the same way as the backhand volley in that sense however I personally like to use my non-dominant hand to push the racquet forward towards the opponent during the backswing to encourage the solid wrist positions. Thanks for the feedback!
Great take. How do you get into wrist extension and radial deviation when changing grip from forehand grip?
Laurence Corray Hi Laurence, thanks. I demonstrated this in the video but to go into further detail... when transitioning from forehand to backhand grip you wanna release the grip tension in your dominant hand and allow the non-dominant hand to turn the racquet so you can then re-grip the racquet with the dominant hand. When re-griping the racquet u want to already be getting the wrist in the 2 key positions. I recommend changing grip from forehand to backhand grip with your eyes closed then check it after the completion of the preparation. Shadow swings as well. You need to FEEL the wrist position.
Great advice Jeremy. Will try it.
I think Wawrinka’s grip as is Lendl, index finger is in between bevel 1 and 2 or even on bevel 2. I find that using Wawrinka’s grip though it requires hitting late instead of hitting in front, gives me consistency. What is your view?
Laurence Corray the continental grip (bevel 2) is definitely not a grip I would encourage. Wawrinka uses an eastern backhand grip meaning he is on bevel 1. Using a continental grip makes it difficult to handle high contact shots which is a big reason as to why there are no top pros using continental (bevel 2) on their 1 handed backhand. Continental also puts the wrist in a weak position and causes players to often hit the ball long since this grip naturally opens the racquet face more. This makes it more difficult to hit topspin as well.
Wouldn't a relaxed grip and high racket head speed require that the wrist be loose and not under any kind of tension at contact? Or is this position completely natural with the right grip?
Vacation Tennis the wrist should be in the 2 fixed positions I mentioned in the video while the hand tension is fairly loose. Having the right grip can encourage the right wrist positions some but most players still fail to naturally have the right wrist position.
That’s a tommy Robredo backhand right there😛
I can only say: W-O-W
That’s because your a damn cat!
@@mariodorado5950 hahahaha
Hi Jeremy. Another question. Im hitting this backhand really well now from progressions of a drop feed, a hand feed, the ball fed from the other side of the net, and even free hitting. But playing a match it all goes to pot. I go straight back to my old habit. Is there a progression somewhere in between I’m missing?
David Colman play a practice match against someone before a match that counts. If you really want a new technique to become a habit you must stay away from match play for a while (at least a few weeks or so). U must make it a habit before playing important matches. You will always revert back to your old way in a match if it’s not already habit as you wanna win more then make a change and get your mind away from overthinking. Great question!
Thanks Jeremy for the reply. I hadn’t thought about it that way before. Now the question begs how do I make it a habit ASAP? Do I just keep practicing the progressions as I’ve been doing. Will that eventually make it a habit?
David Colman yes, at some point you can do more love ball like rallying and points. Just make sure you are very disciplined on every individual shot (focus on it every shot).
👌🏻
❤️🙏🎾
isn't that left hand helping you cock that right hand back just so (to get that extra snap). I find that this cocking is really important. it is a detail that is often overlooked. great instruction.
pjcd1961 hello, what part of the stroke are you talking about?
@@FundamentalTennis at the waist height as the racket is dropped just before the left hand lets go. the video shows it quite clearly. it helps to have that straight arm to help the cocking. (radial deviation especially) I mean your instruction is perfect. I am just emphasizing. lol
@@FundamentalTennis do you put that tension (both dominant-wrist extensions) when the racket is up or as you bring it down or at the last second before you release it or it varies?
pjcd1961 I agree
good luck
Back hand . 1st hand..is good
Great tips, but i am confused, which is bevel you are counting as bevel 1. :D
rashmi mehta thank you. Bevel 1 is the north (top) bevel when the frame is pointing to the sky
@@FundamentalTennis Sorry but its not very clear. and when I keep the frame as a hammer rather flat then your description of holding racket making me confuse. can you share a pic, if possible.
rashmi mehta did u not see my above answer? I answered your question. You can also easily get familiar with the grips by looking up tennis grip names or eastern backhand grip or tennis grip bevels. Again, the under base of the index knuckle goes in line with bevel 1 for an eastern 1 handed backhand grip
This video explains it for you:

The Gronkowski bro that took tennis instead of football
All of them 😂
Hi Jeremy. Question on this 1 handed backhand. Why during the unit turn do you have your left elbow high, essentially pointing backwards. Mine points downward. I have good spacing but my left elbow is not high like yours. Is there a fundamental here I’m missing?
David Colman hi David, this is not a fundamental but it is style. Their is a range of acceptability like most things. You don’t want your hitting elbow almost touching your side. I like to have my back elbow at shoulder height when time permits as it helps with the wrist position and leverage. There are several pros that have it this high and pros like roger whom have it a little lower. I believe the grip can play a role in this a bit. I have a rather extreme grip so I think it’s a bit more likely to have a high elbow. Hope this helps. Great question!
Fundamental Tennis Hey Jeremy. Thanks for the reply. That clears it up for me because it is indeed working for me since watching this excellent video on the one handed.
David Colman I’m happy it all makes sense. Good luck with your backhand 👍
YOU HAVE PERFECT VIDEOS.JUST LIKE COACH ARTHUR TELLS ME.😎
MATTHEW THOMPSON thanks! Glad to hear me and coach Arthur are on the same page 👍
Super video. Diky
Good tips, but looks a little mechanical, similar to the Theim backhand... I prefer the L shape in the Federer backhand, it’s a little more compact.
Tim T the L shape? U mean the takeback?
@@FundamentalTennis Yes, the loop in the backswing, Fed's forearm is at a right-angle to his upper arm, forming an L-shape. It's a more compact and a little quicker, though the straight-arm loop like Thiem's provides a little more power. Good video's! Thx.
Tim T not sure where u got the info about straight arm take back creating more power but as I said in the video the hitting arms shape during take back is just style. The important thing is it should straighten early in the forward swing unlike Federer’s swing.
Unit turn is great when ur young & ur chin goes behind ur shoulder. Try that when ur 70.
Camera guy, chill bruh I have the volume cranked trying to hear and it sounds like I’m in a bass drum with a bumblebee
okay...
Do I hear a Russian accent or am I wrong?)
