Whats your playing history between you and your brother? Are you guys half Black half Asian Korean Philipino?
Great video and beautiful swings! Did you play competitively??
Being a Righty, I use a FULL Eastern Backhand Grip with the knuckle on no 1 panel but I have got my thumb resting on its own separate panel (no 7 side panel) to give me more extra leverage. I don't have the thumb wrapped next to the other fingers.
Ladies and gentlemen what we are witnessing here a very high-quality content.
Dude. This video conveys a lot of information in a clear and concise way, is well edited, and contains tons of footage demonstrating exactly what you mean. You put a lot of work into these videos and it shows. What a breath of fresh air compared to the guys who just talk in front of a camera for 10 minutes and upload it with minimal edits. Great work!
Thank you, Levi!
"if you're human..." hilarious
The only video on RUclips that talks about the different types of grips for the one handed topspin backhand. Well done addressing these variations in the grip. Even though I don’t completely agree with the conclusion that players should use the hammer grip for a ohb shot, I appreciate that you started the conversation. There’s definitely a spectrum between a full hammer grip and a pistol grip. A full hammer grip is when the line of your knuckles is parallel with the edge line of the bevels. You can also tell that you are holding a full hammer grip by the fact that the thumb falls outside of the index finger. If your thumb is placed anywhere in between the index finger and the middle finger, you are either holding a pistol grip or somewhere on the spectrum between pistol and hammer. Thiem is the poster boy for the hammer grip. Almagro and Gasquet both use a pistol grip. I consider the pistol grip used with a strong eastern grip to be superior than the hammer grip. It offers more maneuverability in the wrist and it’s super stable on high contact.
I've watched about 10 different RUclips videos on back hand. Yours is the most concise and logical of them all. Subscribed. And many thanks.
You have know idea how amazing & rare it is to see someone formally talk about pistol vs hammer grip. Thanks again bro !
The Best bar none OHBH instructional video on RUclips today. Intelligent and detailed. Well done.
Thanks so much!
Hey dude, I've probably seen all the one handed backhand videos on youtube and I have to say that yours is by far the more accurate and complete. Finally someone that mentions the difference between pistol/hammer grip nd the modified/strong eastern. It's looks like such a small diference to have the index knuckle between the bevel 1&2 like wawrinka and bevel 1 like tsisipas or federer but it does really feel like a major difference. I find the 1&2 gives better stability and power but the 1 gives more access to topsin. Out of curiosity, which one do you use for your game? Great form btw, love the way you keep your whole body and head sideways as Roger does.
Hi Miguel. Thanks for the compliments! Yes, every small difference can greatly affect the results of the shot. I find that many coaches do not emphasize the grips enough. I use a full eastern grip with hammer hold.
+1 (get rid of the cheeesy music though) excellent video
Agree! This content is hard to find with such a complete explanation
@@RacquetFlex Hey guys, Just one correction, I really don'y think Gonzalez has a strong eastern like Gasquet.
His index knuckles sits on bevel 1 instead 8/1. However the angle of his wrist is slightly different than Roger's for example.
It looks to me like a Strong Eastern with a hammer grip.
He also holds up the handle quite high, very unusual.
Check this picture:

Yes I agree. Such a great video and tons of clear information. Showing the line of the handle in the palm helped a lot. I had to pause and rewatch to conceptualize what he was saying. Have done that, I'm much better off then watching most other videos. Thanks. I don't know if I'm going to adjust my grip, because it's strong eastern and mostly (2/3) hammer. This video helped me understand that my grip is capable of growth and what I get from the my grip.
The best grip tutorial video I have seen yet, thanks
This is the most technical drip explanation and use I have seen. Kudos!
I love you man and I loved the way you explained grip change. AWESOME
Thanks for the in-depth technical description, which was lacking in other videos for backhand
RacquetFlex returns and with another top level high quality instruction. Comprehensive, detailed, exact. Superb work, guys.
I have found that switching from Eastern to between bevels 1 and 2 has made my shots more efficient and effective with less effort. This was a challenging switch because you cannot get away with keeping the shots in where you don’t keep your head pointed towards impact. They tend to float long, but the benefit when you keep head in the shot are deep penetrating shots even on the run.
I love the detail on the grip switch. I have been working way too hard, it's a much smaller move than what I was using. Thank you!
By far the most complete and succinct tutorial I’ve seen on the subject. Great video.
Excellent - very clear. First time I've really come across the "holds" (pistol vs. hammer) explained, and first time I've seen the grip switch options shown.
Thanks for the amazing video. By far the best explanation on backhand grips that I have seen. Cheers!
yooo this is phenomenal content my friend. I love how you demonstrate the back-hand aspects and go into THOROUGH detail instead of gloss over like all the other blogs and videos. As someone who runs a digital marketing agency, gotta give you the kudos for creating quality content like this. Tennis is super technical as a sport. I've been playing casually for 9 months now but only just realising the importance of using the right grip across the various shots.
This is the best video that I have seen about one handed backhand grips. Nice job!
THE BEST ONE HANDED BACKHAND GRIPS VIDEO EVER!
Thank you so much! You`ve helped me to discover semi-western grip, which unexpectedly fit me perfectly)
Great video. Thanks for remembering the left handed players when showing grips. Most tutorials won’t do that. Very helpful
Thanks for this video on backhand grips. So many videos skip the details of the grips and don't distinguish between the pistol and the hammer grip, which has always confused me. Your explanations and diagrams are thorough and easy to follow. Please keep making these videos. Great Job!
Outstanding video! Best explanation of grips for the one-handed backhand, for sure. Thanks!
Congratulatios for all your videos, the tips are so efectelly and so power, i practiced them on the court and could feel my personal progress.... Good job!!!
Worldclass lesson. Kudos!!!
You have a bright future!..ive been teaching tennis 27years every level. And i dont think..in fact i know i couldnt explain bhand grips like this!!.. well done pal and keep up your amazing work.
Best and most complete video I have ever seen on the subject. Been playing for 59 years and tried all the variations. Excellent coverage of index knuckle, heel pad, and finger spread. Outstanding! I personally use 3 grips - continental for slice, modified eastern with finger spread for low non-slice balls and pick-ups and eastern with hammer grip for top-spin.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks!
Excellent video! Easy-to-understand explanations and well illustrated with precise sequences.
genius just perfect well done
Great video as always. Best on RUclips.
Thanks man. Satisfied my biggest curiosity lately
Best Video ever maded about one handed backhand
Great instructions. Many thanks.
Your CHALLENGE Mr Presenter, learn and show the Don Budge backhand grip. Advantages, great on the lowballs especially for approach. Good TDL power. Very stable on rushed block shots. Combines will with the SW for fast "same face" grip changes. Disadvantage, restricts the wrist which makes heavy topspin forced. Does not let the elbow area rotate freely which restricts power but limits elbow stress. AKA weak cross-court drive. Hard to generate power on anything high.
What a nice production.
This is my second favourite tennis channel! You guys are clear and provide important details while always maintaining levity. Excellent camera work and graphic design!! 👏👏👏
whats your #1?
Very very clear explanation, thx very much!
Excellent video!
This dude is so thorough, it’s amazing
Ang ganda marami kang matutunan
This is a fantastic video. Thank you!!!
Awesome video! The best explanation on backhand grips for sure!
Very clear , thank you so much !
Best video I have seen!
Again a well thought out and comprehensive video.
Great vid!
I don´t usually comment on youtube video. But as a tennis newbie, who plays against tennis players and struggles with top spin - the fact tha you change your grip on fly and your explanation on how to change the grip on fly sold it to me! Mindbreaking moment! Thank you guys!
Really good content. Clear & easy to understand. Thanks bro.
Great, great video. I've long suffered a lack of consistency and stability on the OHBH topspin / drive, which I was hitting with a pistol grip. I couldn't quite figure out what the issue was, but tried the hammer grip over the past couple of sessions. It made a big difference in stability at impact, and I find it greatly helps the arm supination to grate the ball for topspin. Your comment is spot on: in a OHBH drive, the thumb is the only finger under the handle, and needs as much support it can get from the other fingers. The pistol grip takes away the support provide by the index, and feels less natural. A simple way to feel this is simply extend one arm with the fist clenched in a hammer grip, and supinate the arm. Then do the same thing with the index moved to a pistol grip. The supination is far less natural, and stresses the arm a lot more.
This lesson was excellent. I previously used the eastern grip for all of my drive/topspin, i.e., my 1st knuckle on bevel 1. I struggle with keeping the ball in the court on high balls, i.e., balls at or around chest level. I started using a semi-western backhand grip or a strong modified eastern grip. I find I am able to handle balls at or around chest level and be aggressive with them. This lesson was an absolute game changer for my game. I am a 4.0 player working on getting to the 4.5 level. This lesson will help me do that as my backhand has been more attackable especially on the serve return. Thank you for the technicality of your lessons. Can you please do this exact same lesson on grips and their effect for the forehand. I believe this would be helpful for many. I also would like to see you guys do a lesson on shot recovery footwork, volleys, and serving, especially the kick and slice serve.
Amazing Quality, just great !!!
You guys have become one of the only youtube sources I trust for tennis coaching. Always thorough and your advice is actually current to the modern game! I'd love to see a similar video for forehand grips, I see almost no guidance on where the heal pad should be on a forehand grip, and I'd love to see you guys break it down.
Thanks for that MisterRedstone :)
Sure, we can cover the grips for the forehand side.
excellent vid!
Great advice
Excellent video
Fantastic video thanks man!
Great content! I really appreciate you videos. I really like the mention about the difference between pistol/hammer grip. I had always
Best video on this subject out there.👍
Dude, you know what? This totally changed my backhand, for the good. I am a strong 4.5 player but usually hesitate to rip the one hander. I realized after watching this and practicing for quite a while that I was holding it in a pistol grip with my knuckle on bevel 8. Since moving to a hammer grip on bevel 1, it’s strong, secure and so much easier to time. A lot of other commenters are correct, coaches just kind of tell you where to put your knuckles but don’t really explain how to hold it properly. Thank you so much for making this great video.
Damnnnit, I just now realized that I have been practicing the 1HBH with my knuckle on the intermediary bevel [1-8] for years. (Im a right handed player) I love the topspin I get from it, but I feel the forward follow through / power does lack sometimes, although I had hit many strong winners using it. I don't know what to do...should I continue or switch to full bevel 1, which feels way more controlled, and more pocketing feel in terms of forward swing?!
absolutely great video1
Well expained about types of grip and holding styles. Thanks!
The best explanation of the one handed backhand grip on youtube!
such a nice and specific drills! Luv it.
Fantastic theory.. Great
Great video! More things was cleared for me. Thanks a lot. I think this information is good for tennis instructors and for advanced players.
very informative and quality video
Thanks! Great video!🎾🎾🎾
Very good content, a lot of information, complete and good analysis of grip are current players using. In my case, lately I don't change grip between forehand and backhand and with this video I understood that my bevel 4 on FH becomes bevel 8 on BH, which is a Semiwestern grip (on pistol). This simplifies my stroke because I avoid the grip change but I found myself less consistent that in the past and when I did grip change. I understand now that this grip has a harder timing and explains why sometimes I'm missing and not feeling confident enough. With everything more clear, I will experiment with the eastern and also the hammer, to select the best option, thanks!
another great video 👍

wow this is fantastic, thanks
