Backhand Topspin (One Handed) Practice in HD

Your shoulders are opening up too soon, everything else looks just great. Look up at Federer's and Gasquet's backhands in slow motion if you want confirmation.

forehand is easy for me it's just my backhand i have troubles with... do you think i should use two hand or one hand backhand?

little topspin but good strokes

I´m getting pretty close to being able to hit this one handed backhand, but I´m still struggling with some mishits and a bit of a sidespin, instead of topspin. Any tips on how to adjust?

You really have a beautiful swing, very graceful. It looks smooth and effortless.

I'm not expert, but a suggestion (and something I struggle with myself on one-handed backhands) is to add a little bit more upward motion with the shoulder. Possibly even drop your racquet head a bit lower before contact, and really lift with the shoulder.

Though, it really is all personal preference and whatever feels natural. Just suggestion

@CCPfilm Thanks for the comment. If I'm understanding you correctly, I wouldn't do that. Why force the swing upwards when the arm will naturally go up if you swing forward?
