The one-handed backhand is not dead. In this video, we'll compare a recreational/amateur player's one-handed backhand and see how it stacks up technically to Lorenzo Musetti's.
Yes, Musetti is a world-class athlete with his movement and skills but that doesn't mean that we can't glean technical details that we can then apply to our own games.
But remember, simply watching this video is doesn't mean you've done the appropriate work to make lasting changes to your game. For that, you need to change your motor patterns. Simply having information does not equal transformation. You can find out more about that here: www.beforeandaftertennis.com/

01:38 Correction 2: You'd better hang on to that racket longer
03:22 Correction 3: Inside-out forehands, right?!
04:44 Correction 4: Should I be playing ultimate frisbee?

High performance info 🙏

Haha. Wouldn’t call it that. But thank you!

[@jandevries4389]

great content as always! which tool is it that u are using to show the details in the technique?

[@BeforeandAfterTennis]

Hi Jan, it’s called Onform

[@jandevries4389]

@@BeforeandAfterTennisthank u! so u are using onform on the Ipad and Loom to explain the technical details, right? Are u also using another cutting program? I really enjoy your videos! Keep up the work

[@BeforeandAfterTennis]

@@jandevries4389 thank you. Yes. Not on iPad though. On the computer. If you don't want to do Loom you can save some money because Onform does have a PIP feature

[@jandevries4389]

@@BeforeandAfterTennis thank u! are u working with onform in the browser?

[@jandevries4389]

and u are working with the pro version i guess, right? thanks a lot!! keep up the good work

The real problem is that he’s not extending his right arm before beginning the forward swing. The rest of his problems come from this.

[@BeforeandAfterTennis]

Thanks for the comment 👍🏽

[@megowopwop8545]

can you expand on this?? I think I do that, are you saying you should have your right arm straight?

[@marktace1]

Yes, or close to it. See how Musetti straightens his arm by the end of the backswing. This guy doesn’t get the arm straight until well into the forward swing.

[@BeforeandAfterTennis]

@@megowopwop8545 the hitting arm should be straight as it gets close to the body and swings forward. And you can use the non-hitting hand to set your body and stroke up appropriately for this
