I’m right handed and I’ve been trying for months to keep my left hand on the racket longer before I release into the stroke, but no matter what I try, I keep letting go just a bit too early. Anyone have any tips to help me keep my left hand on the racket for the appropriate amount of time? It’s very frustrating. I’ll be convinced I did it properly, but then I check the video of myself, and nope, just a bit early. Do I hold it like I’m unsheathing a sword? Do I pretend it’s a two-handed backhand til the last split second? Any visualization tricks would be much appreciated!
you my dear sir were an absolute game changer for me. the hint to keep the non dominant hand on the racket during the stroke as long as possible, and with this transform the full technic to a kinda 75% double handed backhand, fixed a problem i struggled with the last 30 years. thank you so much for your channel and for this advice. 💪♥
Okay, this tennis backhand tutorial is great and all, but I tried it and ended up hitting the ball into a different zip code! Time to call NASA, I'm serving for space exploration now! 🚀🎾 😄

I roll the racquet anti-clockwise, just 1 bevel to quickly switch from semi western Forehand grip to the backhand grip. Do you see any problem? Thank you!
Hi, Ryan. I’m one hander since I started to play (too long ago, actually). I agree with you on everything except for the extended arm thing when preparing the shot. I think you lose an additional source of power if you don’t bend the arm (even you bend it later in your video 😉). Look at Federer, for instance. Furthermore, I find it more natural or less stressed that way. Thanks for your videos, in any case
I'm going to partially disagree on that, although I'm new and still learning. I'm finding it easier and less stressful(tennis elbow) keeping the arm straight. And I get tons of power, although it requires a couple little tricks to generate that power. One is keeping the hitting arm a little bit away from the chest on the takeback and then pulling it into the chest right before dropping the racket. The other power source is pulling back on the racket a little with the non-hitting hand before releasing it. Pulling back on the straight arm a little creates resistance and causes the racket to snap powerfully toward the ball. But, yes, it's more of a Dominic Thiem style of hitting the one hander as opposed to the Federer style that your using.
Definitely two ways may work. You’re right. My personal experience is that bending the arm makes the movement more natural and fluent, with less stress on the elbow. Effortless, in a single word.
@@Montaycabe I think either way works if you do them correctly. My two big things are making sure I'm hitting 70% or more topspin backhands. If I'm chipping and slicing too many shots back it means I'm not committed to or confident in the shot. Then stepping across the body with the front foot and finishing with both arms full extended. If you do those well, it's usually going to be a good shot.
I like to think of creating a metal rod with my hitting arm. Stick your arm out straight in front of you making a fist and turn the knuckles upward so you're looking right at the back of the hand/fist. If you take your other hand and slap down on the fist you've made with the arm straight out in front of you, you should find that the hand and arm won't budge no matter how hard you slap down on them. I try to keep this solid metal rod position of the arm and wrist/fist throughout the entire swing. When I release the non-hitting hand at the bottom of the swing, I'll actually try to pull the racket backward with the non-hitting hand a little bit before releasing. If you maintain the "metal rod position" you've created with the hitting arm and wrist while you do this, it will try to resist being pulled back and snap forward very powerfully as it releases toward the ball. Of course, any technique will fail if you don't step forward with the front foot and finish with both arms fully extended.
“No good player does that”????? Wait, are you actually saying that “no good player” tilts the strings down toward the ground on a one hander? In the words of Johnny Mac “you cannot be serious”.
There are so much details for the backhand :o i watched at 0.25 speed, your wrist make a 90° angle with racket, So i have to have a fix wrist. its like a other philosophy for the forehand, for that its complex.

the strings facing down and finishing with the face off to the left really, really improved my backhand. thank you!
Best backhand lesson I have ever seen. You are a very talented coach. Thanks

James Blake was also my favorite player. He is about a decade younger than me and he is still my favorite player🎉
Love to see you playing a match
he doesn't show up on the court with anybody.. hitting partner, student.. not to mention an opponent..

The strings facing the ground at the end of the racquet drop !? No good player does that, even after 10 glasses of beer 😀

good vid

You need to release/roll through contact, just look at any pro. This ‘letter v’ is only really any good for returning a serve or block
Ok thanks for watching!!!
