I am just amazed by how valuable and applicable this video was. Great 1H backhand by the way, aesthetic symmetry in the follow through looks very nice. Keep up the great content.
Thanks man, saw your videos as well. Great content and your are an unbelievable athlete. Btw I have a two handed backhand!! Can’t use that one hander in matches at the high level. At least it looks halfway decent.
Nice to see you guys watch each other’s videos I have been watching both appreciate your guys’ content. Keep up the great work!👌
Couldn't agree more!
I recently started playing again and before watching this video I was having a hard time hitting my 1H backhand. After this video it's a completely new world, I have gained more confidence with my backhand and started to build a better technique. HUGE Thanks Nick!
🙏
I really like how indepth and concise your online lessons are! Very underrated chanel
Simple, brief & effective explanation. Thanks Couch Nikki
I watched this multiple times and always reminded myself the tips I learned when I stepped on the court. Please keep up the good work, much appreciated.
🙏🙏
Hallo Nikola,
danke für die sehr guten Tipps wie man eine einhändige Rückhand spielen soll. Als Anfänger , der nun schon die 50 lange überschritten hat, ist es für mich sehr hilfreich deine sehr ausführlichen und absolut großartigen Erklärungen zu sehen und dann auch gleich in die Praxis umzusetzen.
Danke für deine tollen Videos und Anleitungen und ich werde berichten wie sehr es mir geholfen hat mein Tennsispiel zu verbessern.
Alles Gute
Ralf
Wow! This video solves the confusion I had for a long time! What do you do to fix the hollow gap at your palm when you have the eastern 1 hand backhand? I find the hollow gap you talked about at the beginning of the video very annoying. It doesn’t feel strong/supportive when I hit it, so I move to more of a continental backhand to full the full support from the palm. But continental grip is so hard to put top spin on which resulting ball go out of bond all the time. Now I’m sticking to the eastern grip but the hollow gap still bothers me when I hit the ball.
I really enjoyed learning about the tight/closed grip and how it helps with the racquet stability. I had never heard that explanation before, so thank you.
My pleasure Pedro
you simplify things coach....i began playing tennis 5 days back, got a few single hand backhands away with your videos for the first day, watched a ton of other videos and have messed up since. i just hope to get this single hand backhand going soon
🙏🙏
Great lesson. Thanks Nik
For non recreational players, would you advise two handed out one handed??? When I try hitting my two handed, it doesn’t go far, and I’ve wanted to switch to one handed
As always, great tips Nicola
Great video! I'm trying to teach my 9 year old lefty and we are struggling with whether he should hit a 1HBH or 2HBH. He's good at both but opens his chest too much on the one handed. Any advice?
Another great video by Nik 💪💪💪
Great video! thanks a lot. Your BH is very nice!
This is a perfect video with perfect instruction about a perfect one handed backhand. Hands down! Nasa used to include movies and musics inside the spaceships in case aliens find it. I would seriously suggest NASA to send the Intuitive Tennis videos along in case aliens wanted to properly and easily learn how to play this beautiful sport.
fantastic video. thank you
great explanation!
I love this course! Thanks!
Alex, 👍
Thank you
Awsome Coaching Video Nikola, very clear, I had doubts many years, all clear , so can't wait to go to court to practice, but you are impressive coach, Brilliant , best one hand backhand online tutorial video !
Thank you so much for help us to improve tennis, already subcribed your channel! Greetings Alberto
🙏🙏
Great video, I've been slumping a little with my one hander and this was a great video to make sure I check all the boxes to get out of this slump
Jonathan, glad you found it helpful.
@@IntuitiveTennis very helpful, sometimes my one handed back hand looks like it has side spin or underspin instead of top spin, I think it has to do with my swing path or finish
Jonathan, could be take back and or finish.
@@IntuitiveTennis I think it was mostly finish, but I also need to take it back fully. After I started finishing better, my topspin was more noticeable
Jonathan, glad to hear that
Best instructor in the biz, how do I sign up for lessons with you man??
Is it possible to get the same power without moving the back foot, I mean turning the hip? I always lack power on my OHB but since I started turning a little I feel I can get more power. It messes a bit with my timing though. Thanks Nik!!!
Bloody brilliant
Thanks I was making a lot of mistakes ❤
One detail I picked up on the Top Tennis Training channel is to keep the racquet head quite vertical (close to 12 o'clock) on the takeback. This lengthens the racquet head path to the ball strike and generates more power with no increase in effort. Both Wawrinka and Federer do this, with the former using the maximum vertical position.
Even though the racquet head path is lengthened, this technique doesn't seem to require more time to complete the stroke.
George, the racket head being vertical prior to the racquet drop (pre acceleration phase) is only cosmetic and it doesn’t contribute to more power on the stroke. It does however help the player generate a better rhythm on the stroke. Everyone has a different rhythm and what works for Federer, Wawrinka and Thiem might not necessarily work for other players.
Intuitive Tennis not sure about power but having the racquet more vertical helps racquet face to square up easier at the contact...
you are a very detailed and skilled coach.👌
Ruud, thank you 🙏 🙏
Le dot for right back hands descriptions and styles.
Thank you!
So easy to watch, so heavy to try on court 😁
Wooow really helpful 👏 👌 🙂
spin comes also from the wrist, one can impart great spin using the wrist even with having a finish like wawrinka/thiem
Comes from the arm yep
I am really struggling with getting into the zone, because I am using a ball machine and because there is inconsistency in the bounce, I am only hitting high balls making it impossible to finishing high. Thus i hit with a slice and little power.
Can you show more examples of your play in slow motion. I’m very frustrated in my game.
Please allow me to humbly disagree. The wrist is the weakest muscle in the whole kinetic chain and will get injured if used this way. The spin is imparted by rotation of the arm along the long axis from the shoulder, but not by the shoulder itself, more by the rotation of the body, by moving torso via core muscles, hips, and legs. Please stay safe and have fun.
@@AndreanoCelentano You must be a very gentle person
Enjoy wrist surgery.
Great lesson, NIc. I'll use it to teach my son. best. Tobi
Danke Tobias 🙏🙏
Thank u! good luck to u!!
Thanks for watching 👍🎾
Tank you this was great. Which video can you recommend to teach me how to place a serve? all my serves go in the middle of the box, unless i fluke it to a corner
Try this ruclips.net/video/lyUzuW_ZeL0/видео.html
Great instructional, but really wish there was more footage at NORMAL speed of you hitting some backhands. You only have the slowed down footage, which due to low fps in the recording, is essentially a slide show, and it would really drive the point home on all of these tips better if the viewers could see it all applied at normal speed hitting some balls
1:32 - Footwork
3:55 - 2 styles of finishing
Thanks sir
it seems that flexibility and muscular training of shoulders shoulder blades hips and calves are incredibly important for Tennis players.
Are there any books you recommend for such things?
Thanks coach ur the best:) Keep it goin:)
Sure will Ice, thank you 🙏
Nikola you are literally the best! I owe you my OHBH. I really love your videos. However, since I tend to hit more down the line I figured Maybe I am late so tried to hit early but when ever I do that I hit the net and I guess clearance becomes my problem. Any tip or recommendation?
ruclips.net/video/bGxhbeEyg_A/видео.html
3:09 u got me a little confused here since the grip looks more like a continental one, or am I wrong?
Niki, excellent video...you present solid positions for utilizing either bh style....personal flexibility being key. Btw, you dress impeccably in all videos.....best dressed pro/coach on you tube!
Scott, haha thank you. One advantage of not having a clothing sponsor, I can wear whatever I want.
Also, thank you for the backhand comment.
Now, if we can only get into the Pat Cash checkered headband to complete the look(s)......
Scott, a little before my time. More like the Agassi jeans shorts would complete the look.
Excellent vids
Thank you
Super objasnjavas trenirao sam tenis ljevak sam brz i išlo mi je ono sam 40 pobjeda 3 poraza ali kad se trebala plaćati članirina roditelji nisu mogli izdvojiti jel nismo imali novca pa sam bio prisiljen odustat
Gorane, puno hvala, šteta da neigraš više. Biti ljevak je velika prednost.
Great
great lesson but how about the jumping OHB like Shapo 😆
Great backhand ,I use one handed back hand ,will try the Roger Federer -Thanks
Great video. Help me a lot in understanding the different parts of the one handed backhand. One question I have and may seem obvious, but when does the non-dominant hand release / let go from the racket? Does that occur at the moment you start the forward part of the swing?
In the middle of the body close to contact
@@IntuitiveTennis Thanks for answering my question. So to double check the release of the non-dominant hand would happen at roughly this point of the stroke ruclips.net/video/Kti0H2hL6ts/видео.html (One-Handed & Two-Handed Backhand Timing)?
I may have missed it but how you gauge spacing. One the forehand the left arm is used, how is it done on the backhand ?
Keep it closer on the one hander
You can line up with hand or racquet throat
Superb videos, I’m a recreational player. At what point should one hit the single handed backhand I terms of the height of the ball? And how does one cope if the ball climbs one you?
Jasdeep, thank you. Will cover high balls in the near future...
Do you have a video on pros/cons of two handed vs one handed backhand ?
Never mind I found it ! Thanks great videos
The no-nonsense coach! Hardly ever harps on things the body knows to do naturally.
Satyu, 👍
Nice bro!
Vittorio, 👍
Giving up on my 2h backhand after trying to work on it for 10 yrs. Let's see if 1h is any better
Enjoyed your video on forehand stroke production. I've been looking into the potential of using high speed cameras ( 1000-15,000 fps) to pinpoint problem areas within tennis strokes. Slower speed cameras really don't catch the moment of wrist release etc. so the viewer is never able to accurately view "actual" points of contact with the ball or minor flaws within the strokes. By capturing a truly high speed rendition of strokes...the coach can then focus on the exact part or parts of a stroke that need improvement.
Would such a service be welcomed by "coaches", where my company would show up and film all their students at a tennis camp or local setting. (not coach the students, just supply the footage to the coach). Maybe even provide sensor driven data back to the coach on the aerobic condition of their players, reaction speed, leg drive speed in all directions etc.
What do you think?
Pulse TV, I think this is a great idea. 👍👍
I don't think Fed doing backward transfer and hitting his OHBH don't need to be super flexible in my opinion :) Also the Thiem/Warinka style Fed do that a lot too so I don't think this style has anything to do with how OHBH works most likely more of a contact point, intention and hitting direction issue.
You even changed into a Fed shirt to give the Fed form example. 10 internet points for you!
Kudos*
Another fantastic video. Love your explanation for why certain movements are done.
My biggest problem with the one hander is lining up the shot and timing the forward part of the swing. As you know, once you start the swing there's no turning back. You have to release and let it fly. Understanding this, how do you go about lining up where you want to make contact with the ball in relation to your front foot...and how do you time the tempo of the backswing -> release? I think I'm used to my forehand swing which I adjust the speed and height of the back swing loop to match the incoming ball. I can't seem to find a good way to tell my body when to SWING. Not sure if that makes sense but it's really the only thing holding me back.
Any advice is hugely appreciated. You're my favorite online teacher by far!
Josh, thank you for the kind words.
The 1H backhand is the only groundstroke where we can hit the ball closer to the body laterally.
So line the ball up with your hand!
When to strike?
I would wait as long as possible, maybe even after the bounce of the incoming ball.
This is going to make the rhythm very intuitive.
You won’t be able to think much, you’ll just strike!!
Tempo of the swing depends on your intention of the stroke and the situation you find yourself when striking.
@@IntuitiveTennis Thank you!
Whenever i do the federer style finish (very high) it seems to hurt my right shoulder, is this normal?
Ah, you mention it at the end. I am flexible enough to do it, but it does cause a bit of pain on more powerful swings..
Don't do it that way, then. Shoulder injuries are no joke.
@@xyzza2928 its actually ok now. I dont lift the back shoulder anymore (although the coach keeps saying to) so maybe that makes the difference
Which one is better between one-handed and two-handed when running?
Good question, probably 1-H
You make it very simple and clear , i love u videos thanks nicola ,,, ;0
Thank you Pasquale 🙏
Shit.. I have my knuckle base on the 8th side. Is that bad?! Ive hit many winners with it and I see more topsin. I just shadow swung with my knuckle on the 1st side and it feels as if I can hit the ball more fully.
It’s full western not a deal breaker
Federer's finish seems to hold back its power :(
What do you think about the way Henin uses her off hand?
It’s unorthodox
Semi-Western is bevel 8, correct? If yes, why don't more top level players actually use the Semi-Western?
I think that’s western and some pro do use it like Robredo
@@IntuitiveTennis Ah ok... so if bevel 8 is Western, what bevel would be SW and what bevel would be Eastern?

Good point about the grip, Nik.👍 Otherwise not that impressed. Your BH is the two handed one it seems... Not enough attention to Stan's BH. I personally doubt that the Stan's one is flatter then RF'S. I think Stan has much more topspin and overall it's more "modern" one. Anyhow you must know better for sure. I might very well be wrong.
Thanks
Omar, yes I have a 2-H Backhand
RF has some what more spin than Stan
I think the Federer style backhand is outdated and Wawrinka, Thiem, Tsitsipas and Shapovalev kind of introduced the next gen single handed backhand with the bigger upper body turn.
To recommend Federer's only weak shot is pretty much kontraindicated nowadays. If he had Wawrinka's backhand, he would have 40 Grand Slams by now.
I wouldn't take Federer as a good example of backend cause he is really not consistent. With all the respect, everyone knows that,especially him,let alone his opponents.
