How to Hit Backhand

[AtomicP0w3r]

A great squash backhand looks way better!

[AlmightyBen]

the whole video i just wanted someone to backhand this douche in the face.

[colomblanco]

what a noisy douchebag

[23viktor23]

people like this make me nervous

[seriousshaper17]

What the hell is on ur chin

[SCREAMO0513]

Ok why the fuck do u scream

[dleon06]

Great video! One thing that was not explained though, is the use of the non-hitting arm in the swing. To the more advanced students, the non-hitting arm leads the hitting arm in the opening of the shoulders in the up-swing, then leads in the down-swing by compressing the shoulders, transferring forward momentum across to the hitting shoulder. It makes all the difference in speed and power just like a sprinter using blocks. Observe the slow motion shot at the end of the video. Go Team Ektelon!

When he's simulating the back hand stance, it seems you almost have to do a lung with that shot to achieve the form. Is that an exxageration or is it necessary for a back band stance?

[1dezarae1]

Wish you'd show the backhand grip a little more closely.

[car60t]

thanks for sharing...this is the best explanation of backhand swing i've seen ever!

[edmanci1]

thanks  Jhon! this is the video I was looking for

[jpeter38]

Excellent mechanical explaination of the backhand John. I will post this on our High School Racquetball teams Facebook page so they can see the proper technique (that I try to teach also) for the backhand shot. The grip switch is very important. The only people that don't think so are the ones who don't employ it and have a less than effective backhand shot. GREAT VIDEO!

Racquet prep is also important....

[ozy18708]

god the way he talks hes like talking with so much momentum to like hes going to scream but he dosnt! 0.o

[evilpleasure69]

3:10-3:12 was the jump and the dumbass look really necessary

[DoomPirate]

how many championships have you won? He can do whatever he wants because he has.

[Dwang1324]

@evilpleasure69 i thought it was SUPER intense...

[sdarms111]

Hey, I appreciate the videos. I watched this one once, practiced it once and my backhand noticeably improved (better than my forehand now).

Would love it if you would tack on a couple more action shots at the end, maybe from the side or back so we can view your form from a couple of different angles.

Thanks again, much appreciated.

[krabbygirl]

that was awesome. ThANKS!

[Fernandez218]

Awesome!!!  Thanks!

[MasterL3X]

Good stuff.

[dumbnameiknow]

This guy makes great vids.

[ryangojets]

backhands must a little english to hug the wall

[Rasterty]

The wrist will snap on its own, its part of the whole motion. You do not need to consciously do it. Nice video, I have problems changing my grip fast enough though.

[goalpolehole]

Go do some tai chi man ...

[ZBroder]

WHY ARE YOU YELLING

[rucheedesigns]

Why does it matter? If it's too loud, no one is forcing you to watch it. He's being nice enough to share info with us.

[wizardofozar]

The echo in a racquetball court is really bad, its hard to hear anyone.. you need to yell

[carbine23]

k talk 2 you online!

bored here I5

[wolfgangk1]

I couldn't follow everything he said. Put your head here at this angle, your foot is at 90 degree your other had is under your knee is bent...

He meant well..

[97Sooner]

Sometimes I have to give my girlfriend a backhand to the face. This video didn't help with that.

[ellohell700]

LOL

[kingjames117]

sweet, i just started picking up the sport about a month ago. my girl always tells me that i need to work on my backhand...this helped a lot!

[Sancho0330]

You never snapped your wrist...

[SirBunnyII]

He was showing you the BASIC motion. Snapping your wrist is more advanced. No point in snapping your wrist when your basic swing is not right. (Also can hurt your wrist)

[weakinduhknees]

i love the pose at the end haha

[Obrendie]

Nice video.. good information. I sent this to my girlfriend that I am teaching. She is having a hard time with her back hand and she will really get good use from this.

Thanks for putting these out there.. !!!!

[adammay14172224]

Shove it STICH

[k1llshot]

If you hit backhand using a forehand grip, you'll never have a decent backhand.

[fluflu66]

I dont change my grip and I hit it fine...I think the racquet prep and swinging flat is more important...John Ellis is the man....

[RballerTrey]

the backhand grip change is important. im a B player but i have a better backhand than most of the A players and even a couple open players at my club because i change by grip. for more racquetball videos go to rballer.webs. com

[Irishidotsquashgod]

so why arent u an a player

[RballerTrey]

cuz my forehand is weaker than my backhand

[kastaguy]

Finally, no smarmy smartasses! Just how to racqetball.
