I had the privilege to watch Stan playing in Gstaad in the beginning of his career. His backhand was breathtaking! He won the first set easily but lost the match because he was not playing very smart, trying to hit winners all the time. Some years ago I went to vacation in Brazil and went to play in a public court. I saw there a teenager playing a backhand which was identical to Wawrinka’s! He told me that he saw all videos on Wawrinka’s backhand and studied them carefully. He won in this year the city championship at his age category. He said he won mainly because his backhand.
Where was the public court? Vila Lobos Park, in Sao Paulo? Jardim Botanico in Curitiba? Do you remember the kids name? Nice to see something positive about Brazil :)
This is the best backhand video I have come across, thanks so much!
Stan's backhand is a weapon.
Not many players can out-backhand Nadal and Djokovic - but Stan can!
To really succeed with a 1handed backhand - fast reaction / fast footwork is essential to give yourself TIME to get behind the ball - to get the ball in your power zone.
My favourite Stan The MAN 🔥
The knee initiating the hip feels different in the leg when shadowing it. I'll give it a try. I can see making the backhand more effortless with the right timing.
I would love to hear how it goes on the court! thanks
Stan does seem like he would be a cool guy to meet! Thanks
This is such a great lesson! Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
Man you are so good that it seems that you were the one who teached Stan how to do that. Good sob!!
I went back playing tennis after a long hiatus and couldn’t get my backhand working until this video, brilliant tip. Thank you 🙏
One of the best tennis lessons on youtube - stupendously articulate!
I'm a one-handed backhand player - and an ex-junior tennis coach.
Really loved the attention to detail of the basics.
These tips should really help to quickly start practicing!
Your ability to describe is fantastic and you really got me to visualize my body and feel I’m on the court as you were describing the hips, feet, knee and everything, feels like I got better just listening
I've watched a lot of videos on one handed bh as my weakish bh has held me back from rising to the next level. This is the best one handed video I've I've seen so thank you! The explanation of how the positioning of the front foot enables the hip rotation resonated with me in a way it hasn't before. My hip rotation is much more powerful. My bh has pop. Really cool. Thanks!
Great analysis on one of the most beautiful shots in the game. Well done.
Hard to improve on that comment.
Beautiful Kevin! My favorite 1-handed backhand video from you. Gravity plus hip turn sounds = concise distillation of power on ground strokes. Also the loose / gentle doorknob turn is a nice way to put it and help visualize what happens.
Kevin - wow, you really hone in on the nuances that matter, inter-spliced the right amount of Wawrinka footage, and the lighting was great on this video. Wawrinka is the only player who can make Djokovic occasionally look helpless from the baseline, and it's due to this incredible shot.
The tennis court looks like a paradise. So color and peaceful.
I'm a huge fan of this channel and this is by far the best lesson I've found about one-handed backhands. I was able to see all the mistakes I've been doing for years and I can wait to hit the court to start improving my game. Thanks!
The BEST tennis instructor on RUclips. The way he breaks it down. Thank You!!
100%
I agree with the points on the preparation, hips, rotation, all that. What I think is missing is focus on the point of contact. If you don't feel comfortable with how your swing is going to meet the ball, and how your wrist action is going to come over it to reliably give it topspin, then you're going to struggle. The reality is that the ball is on the racquet face for a very short time, and it is the racquet face, and ONLY the racquet face, that generates the path and spin of the shot.
Such a great tip on turning the back knee in to ensure hip rotation! Thanks Coach Kevin!
Excellent explanation
I played tennis for 45 years and this is in my opinion.
The way to hit the ball.
It allows continuous consistency.
Stan is kind of powerful and a bit stupid.
But he trust the process wich allows him to have one of the best backhands
So moving very Quickly to be in the right position and then trust process by using power and timing with enough spin
Basically you need to hit a lot of backhands to get the timing.
Just as he explained.
Great video! Excellent breakdown to help maximise form and power!
Not only the content is good but lighting is amazing too.
Thumbs up Kevin
Love the microscopic detail in your analysis, Kevin.
Thanks Jacksonlar!
Great explanation...thanks and congrats !
Thoroughly enjoyable viewing. Clear, sensible and well illustrated examples (eg doorknob). Great job, Stan!
Very detailed and accurate explaining of the backhand! I just started tennis/padel at older age and this helps me soo much!
So helpful. Thank you.
Great help, thanks!!
Excellent video. Thank you very much
Thanks a lot for the breakdown. Just what I was looking for!!
Thank you very much, perfect trainer👏👏👏
Great lesson. And I agree, Stan's backhand is incredible. Poetry.
Thank you so much, what a great breakdown of Stan's Backhand
great lesson!!! very helpful
Absolutely superb lesson!
Fantastic analysis!! Thank you!!
Fluent and technical. Thanks.
Stan's Backhand is a hammer.
You are so good at breaking down these swings. The one thing that’s made the biggest difference for me is your emphasis on being loose and not tight when swinging.
Fantastic instruction. Thank you.
This will add years to my knee, hip and shoulder. THX!
Great stuff. Just what I needed today.
Thx so much for this break down on Stan's backhand
Once again, great lesson!
BEAUTIFUL JOB!!!
Great Video! Really enjoyed those progressions!
Really clear. So helpful!
Beautiful analysis and pointers.
Terrific video. Really helpful!
Great lesson! Thanks!
Easy to remember tips. Tommorow I try it on the court.
Thank you Kevin
This deserves more views
4.5 player and this was a tremendous backhand review of the nuances of the backhand!! Excellent!! Thanks
Great lesson! Will try these pointers.
Greate video, thank you, Kevin!
Nice lesson!!! Thank you
Well done.. great explanation breaking the stroke down
good analysis thanks
Excellent video breaking down the mechanics of how to hit a strong one-handed backhand like Wawrinka's! It will help me improve mine. Thank you!
brillant analysis. well done kevin.
Wonderful instruction! As an adult beginner, this helped take a lot of mystery and frustration out of this shot
I changed my back hand footing and started pointing my foot like you showed in this video. It literally improved my backhand instantly.
Superb analysis and explanations.
Amazing points it's almost like a hitter who really knows how to use his hips and can hit a ball 450ft without looking like he swung hard cause he knew how to rotate his hips. This is something tennis instructors need to latch on to as you did Kevin. You here them talk about racket angle contact point etc but hardly any talk of hip rotation.. For some reason Stan focused on this point and he flat out laces his BH. Another point is when you showed how his back foot rotated so you can see his shoe soles up is a clear sign he's getting maximum rotation. I actually got on to this by analyzing baseball hitting I said if it works there it will work in tennis also. So I experimented on court dropping balls and hitting BH. I definitely noticed when I made a point to use a forceful hip thrust rotation my balls were zooming off my racket with easy power as compared to casual hip rotation. So excellent break down and I've proved it to myself. Trick is to not get lazy and just hit a whatever BH. I also like how you keep your front foot open a little so as not to restrict your hips from rotating. Probably the best breakdown on BH on internet.
Wish the algorithm had let me know earlier that your channel exists. Got to know you right before the pandemic on essential tennis. Turns out you’ve been going at it for a long while already. Very interesting content. Much clarity. Subbed.
Excellent lesson on one handed backhand.
Another great video!
This video transform my backhand into Wawrinka’s back hand thank you!!
Good stuff - thanks!
Wow, my first time watching you, you did an excellent job and really know your stuff! You have several aspects that others aren't talking about. Good job!
Best explanation of the mechanics of the one-hand backhand that I’ve encountered
Thanks Kelley I appreciate you watching!
You are a great great teacher thank you
I'd also add that Gasquet is able to handle the Nadal heavy ball. And Kuerten had an amazing backhand able to deal with high balls- massive rotation in the shoulders and hips.
Best tennis videos from far...
Kevin, you present an interesting way of learning and practicing the one-handed backhand. I play tennis and I’m a one handed backhand player and Stan Wawrinka is one I try to emulate when I do my backhand. I do have a comment though .. hip twist, door knob swing are all good but you somehow failed to mention - relaxing the grip on the racquet. I’ve seen tennis instruction videos - one hand forehand one hand backhand but the start of the swing, 2 hands actually hold the racquet and it is at this point where you can relax your right fist (or left if you’re left handed) open for a brief second allowing blood flow into circulation, making your hand (and wrist, forearm, elbow, shoulders and all other parts of the body involved) function as an effective machine.
I’m not a pro but I think that’s important.
Great lighting in this clip, great content as well 🙂
Excellent!
really important information. Very useful for players that are competing and coaching at my level.
Another great instructional video-thanks 👍
Awesome, Thanks Vicky!
very good video !!!!
Excellent tuition. Thanks
Thanks Ali!
Thank you .
Stan has the prettiest backhand in the history of tennis. I hit a one hander and I can certainly appreciate the power he gets off that wing, especially on a high ball. Hell, his whole game is so pretty! Everything is so measured and efficient.
SUPER VIDEO! Great job
thanks Henrik
Kevin - I love the I learned a lesson from...!!! I have be watching you latest videos closely. Thanks
Thanks Furey!
Excellent analysis and presentation as always.
Thanks Cavaleer!
Very nice explanation of the stroke mechanics and differentiation between cause and effect. Nice to see a video of this kind even you usually hit a decent single backhand to remind you of bad habits that one might develop. I remember when I played more, just before contact I pushed with my front foot that went from bent to less bent. This felt great and all but in the context of this video, I realize that what I should have focused on was the hip rotation leading the stroke (in my case it was the leading leg doing that thus generating hip rotation) which in addition to the front foot should have included the nice focus given to the backfoot. Thanks for this very educational video.
Now that is some excellent observation regarding his right toe orientation - I'd like to focus on this a little the next time I'm out on court! Thanks!
Good stuff, man
This is really good analysis. Don't know this teacher, but wow. Really talented.
wow verry nice thanks
One of the greats!
Thanks Javi! 👍
Excellent analysis...what explodes the hips are the core stomach muscles...after many years of hitting a baseball, it's the same powerful action
Nice explanation
Great video thank you! 😁
Glad you liked it Philip!
Great video! Mauresmo and Kuerten were using the hips in a similar way in their backhands.
Kevin, you know how to teach! thanks!
Perfect !!
Great vid
Well-timed split step allows you to sync on the balls of your feet to keep your head still so your eyes can pick up the speed Spin and trajectory of the shot to make a good first step to preload and move in the direction you need to hit in the optimum contact point for the least amount of effort and most power.. Thank you!
