Meike- I think you’re the best tennis coach on U tube. You explain and demonstrate every move really well. Look forward to your next lesson.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment!
Thanks for the tips. I played as a kid on my high school team and had a two-handed backhand. Then I went several years without playing and got back into tennis as an adult. When I started playing again, I could no longer hit a two-handed backhand, so I have been using a one-handed backhand. I'm right-handed, and I think my problem is that I have trouble letting my left hand be the dominant hand with my swing. But I feel like my one-handed backhand limits my game, especially with high balls hit with a lot of pace. So I've decided to work on re-developing a two-handed backhand. This video is a good start!
The tuition is so good, even spiders are coming out to watch!
These videos are a blessing to supplement the half-coaching lessons from my friends who just say "swing deeper" and shit lol
I really try to push my students to go for continental because on the recreation level an eastern forehand grip on the double handed backhand just results in the players pulling the racket through the ball with the right arm and the left hand just passively hanging there. Not supporting the stroke in any way. Also it is very uncomfortable on the wrist and for most people it becomes very hard to apply topspin. You mostly even get accidental slices when it is combined with a late timing/preparation.
Absolutely agree. I'm not a big fan of the Eastern Fh as base hand for exactly the reasons you're listing!
I use a continental grip on my two hander, and have been using this method for over 40 years now. Before my surgeries I would literally hit over a thousand tennis balls a day off the ball machine. I would hit 500 backhands and 500 on the forehand side. The most difficult thing I had to relearn is to hit my strokes with more topspin, my shots are very flat. I am still playing with my Wilson profile 95 and I am going to be changing my racquets either to a Yonex, or Boabolet racquets. The profiles are little heavy but I love the way the racquets feel when I hit the ball. I got a chance to demo a few racquets recently and it was nice to hit with modern racquets. But I can blast the ball on returning serves with the Profiles. Great job on the video coach.
Wow. This is an awesome instructional video. It feels awkward moving from a one handed backhand to two, but this tutorial makes me want to give it another GO. You're great at explaining the mechanics of the stroke.
Meike is simply the best. Detail and clear.
Thank you! Is a never ending process for me trying to hit a confident two handed backhand. Will incorporate your lesson next time I’m out hitting
Love it!!! Thanks for this excellent lesson 🙏 appreciate
that was amazing, very simple and clear:)
Excellent coaching video. Very well explained. Good technical foundation.
Amazing as always! Can’t wait to hit the courts today and apply everything I’ve learned from you.
Thank you so much! Let me know how it goes!
I gotta go try this. You just explained so much to me in a very short amount of time and for some reason I feel like I 'got' it. Not easy to sink into my dense skull so thank you.
Let me know how it goes 🙂
I like your way to explain. Bravo 👏
Nice clear instruction especially spacing and swing path
Get Ahead in Tennis with Killer Volley Techniques. Great Video! Thanks for sharing this one.
Thank you!
You're the best tennis coach online! thank you so much for your videos ❤
Thank you!
Great explanation Meike. Thanks. I usually hit one-handed backhand, but am looking to experiment with the two-hander. This is a great place for me to start.
That's great to hear. Please let me know ho it goes.
Great video and good stroke for a one handed player.
Fabulous, no nonsense instruction and dedication from someone who knows the business back to front.
It’s the German in me :)
@@MeikeBabelTennis Haha gut
Genius !
Thanks for the video.
The spider is completely harmless - there are a lot of videos of people keeping them as pets. Jumping spider.
Good to know :-) It was kinda cute.
Thanks for sharing ❤
You are so welcome
continental or eastern one handed backhand grip on right hand makes sense but didn’t understand eastern forehand grip on right hand for a righty - wouldn’t the ball go up and out ?
Thanks! How do I it short angle backhands?
love the way you teach . very similar to mine. I do like to teach the two handed open stanced first as i feel it is easier for new players to get their hands close to teh ball and then hit up an across for spin and depth and height. (MTM Coach here)
One thing you forgot to mention that almost all begginers do and it results in errors is not to use any wrists and instead use your hands and arms .
I learned quite a bit from your videos.And you are very charismatic which I am sure helps you quite a bit with your students/. thank you !
If MTM stands for Oscar’s way of teaching then yes you start to learn backhand in open position and hands is using your wrist
@@bmtspain6839 wrist is involved but it is mostly your arms and hands that do the hitting
Do you use the hand or the arm for power the two-handed backhand shot?
I like your intro
very good. bh has been a problem for me.
Glad I could help
Meike, I have a one-hander question. I tend to hold the grip with my index knuckle between one and two, and my heel pad between one and two. How do you hold your grip? My instructor wants me to get the index knuckle on top, right on one… Ciao, John
I have both underside of index finger knuckle and heel pad on Bevel 1
She can sing! Another talent of hers! Butcaaaapsss
Hi Meike,
I love your video👍. My only question is that I noticed your left foot wasn’t actually in line with the balls when you were lining up the ball. It looked like the ball was in line with your right leg or front leg? Maybe I have misunderstood that part🧐
If we're talking about the back leg and saying "setting it behind the ball" it's just a rough measure.
Oh, and I’m always picking up and moving to safety stray creatures (mostly spiders and honey bees) that get onto the court :-) 🕷🐝
You missed, a key point in the timing of the shot. Can you guess what you left out of this presentation?
BUTTCAPS :3
I have always used a one-hander. If I decide to experiment with a two-hander, I am thinking a good drill would be to start hitting:
(a) lefty forehands with left hand *choked* up on the racquet where it would normally be on a 2-hander.
(b) maybe even some Continental grip *drive* backhands (not slice) with the "bottom" right hand -- where the right hand would normally be on a 2-hander.
Is this a good drill? 🤔
Also noticed that women, for whatever reason, often come up to me and complement me on the one-hander. Say they find it attractive. Have no idea why women find the one-hander attractive (women never gush over a guy hitting a two-hander). And I'm not complaining. Just stating a fact.
Your left foot can NEVER be behind the ball not in open or in closed stance . If you step in with your left foot behind the ball then the ball will hit your hip 🥴🥴
Also the tip of your racket is still pointing to the left at the end of your extension which will kill ALL racket head speed 🥴🥴just my opinion as a non professional player
