You're a terrific teacher. Your advice, your spoken delivery, your demos--perfect. I'm lucky to have the best tennis instructor in my city, and this tip --and all the tips on your channel-- are precisely what he teaches. I replay your videos to cement what I learn in my lessons.
The two-handed backhand being like a left-handed forehand seems to be controversial, where other coaches will say it is NOT like a left-handed forehand because the mechanics are different. Can you comment and elaborate on this? Great lesson, by the way! 👍
It’s not the same exactly. But you do want the extension of your off arm and the “left-handed” forehand drill is a great way to feel that extension. In that it is the same as a true forehand where you also want as much extension as possible. Think Alcaraz forehand.
@@MeikeBabelTennis Thanks for the answer. That makes complete sense. Tennis players are always striving to get good extension off both sides. (And if they aren't, they should be.)
I was going to ask the same question. After spending a year trying to think about which arm should lead the backhand, I’ve chosen to focus away from that and your 3 cues-including the extension one-don’t require picking one arm over the other. Your lessons are the best Meike, always simple and fundamentally sound!

Thank you
Super video. Fantastic insights. I cannot wait to try this. Thanks !!!!!!
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words!
Any thoughts on the amount of turn you can comfortably do if you are left eye dominant but right handed?
To the extend that you can clearly see the ball turn as much as you can
@@MeikeBabelTennis Thank you!
Great video. What are your thoughts on the rolling ball retriever that was shown in the video. Is it better than the tube retrievers?
Yes, soooo much faster and kind of fun.
@@MeikeBabelTennis You mind sharing where you got it and the name is the brand? Thanks!
Super useful. Can’t wait to try them on the court
Let me know how it went
