my forehands the best in my county. my backhands (1 handed) good but awfully inconsistent. my 1st serves (90-110mph) awesome (best in county) - my 2nd serve is really really bad (around 40mph on average).
great video ... Federer has perfect balance and timing, and holds all of his power until the last second when he explodes through the ball. Perfection.
I like the looks of Agassi's two handed backhand better. That one hander looks too refined and dainty like the one by Sampras. Think of a skirt twirling. When Agassi bends low and ropes it down the line, that's good tennis.
@darkness2121 i hate 2 handed backhands. there's no reason why someone shouldn't have 1 handers other than becaue they're stupid.
justin henin, one of the smallest girls on tour, has one of the most powerful backhands, and it's one-handed. so strength is not a reason to go 2 handed. stupidity is.
@Scorpio7500 true, but it's not always about the shot. sometimes it's about the pose and street cred. no commentating i've ever heard, sits in awe at a two-hander down the line. but they ALL marvel at roger or justine hitting one down the line. no kid says 'i want a 2 hander', they have 2 handers because they're soft and the coach is a jessy. but a kid WILL say 'i want a 1 hander and be totally awesome'
@sultanabran1 While I do agree about the "street cred" and the little kids analogy and all that, there's just one thing. In the 2008 US Open I remember the commentators marveling over Murray's backhand, and they've been doing it a lot for Djokovic's backhand for the last 2 years or so as well.
Still agree with what you're saying overall though.
@sasook Call me old fashioned or whatever. There's a reason why 95% of players go 2 handed, and it's not cause there's a disadvantage. But, one handers are SO DAM COOL. Do a search Federer vs Haas 2006 Aus Open and watch those two in a backhand crosscourt rally. It's brilliant.
@sultanabran1 Oh I totally agree with you, don't get me wrong. The one-handed backhand is arguably the prettiest shot in tennis. But, I just wanted to point out that there are some 2-handers out there who have very nice backhands (Novak, Murray, Safin, Agassi, etc.).
Funny, he doesn't mention that Federer rolls his wrist on the follow through to impart topspin. You're suppose to impart topspin by lifting your knees and keeping your wrist firm. Federer has the strength and talent to pull it off, but his follow through is incorrect.
@theriokid Well FIRSTLY, there really IS NOT AN INCORRECT way of hitting shot, cuz anyone can hit a shot..There are just BETTER WAYS but since Federer's method of hitting a ball has earnt him like 16 grandslams, I think he knows his shot is good enough.
@sxchighflyer Let's put it this way, it's not a "text book" shot. It would be a bad idea to teach that shot to an up and coming player because you need a wrist of steel.
As I have learned from a player having the priviledge of training with Roger, he does have a wrist of steel. The guy said it is amazing how actually strong Roger's wrist is and it especially shows with slice backhand.
One of the most amazing things about Roger's backhand is how he holds his head down thru the entire stroke and after he has hit the ball. Just as a golfer is told to keep the head down so they can focus on the strike zone. Biggest mistake I find players make is moving the head as and after they hit. Visualize Rogers head postion as you head to the courts to practice JE Sleeth Level II Tennis Pro
@mytennis4you hah, don't worry about it if that's you. The only people who care about accents are idiots, any intelligent person will understand you. What is your first language if you don't mind me asking?
@mytennis4you I thought you were indian don't mean to offend you :) I;m Trinidadian first language is English, We kinda got a Jamaican accent but accent is the wrong word in this case it's called Dialect
@LeonardoTorino What the hell are you talking about? I'm just curious. English isn't my first language either and I'm not criticizing him so I don't know what you are trying to get at.
:) Nice comments, american comrades! I am from Germany, country of Sauerkraut & pretzels. ...and I do like all american accents. Especially that one from Texas! American Girls ftw ! ! ! ! ! JESSICA SIMPSON the G0DDeSS ! ! ! !
ever noticed that the players with one hand backhand has a larger arm than the other? kinda creepy huh? lol my right forearm is like slightly bigger than my left.
Love that right foot sliding before the shot to just the right spot. It looked to me like he stopped a bit short until I saw he was going down the line with the shot. What can you say - poetry in motion...
I love the Fed backhand, he comes down to the slot then pushes up on the ball, or brushes up the back of the ball, with a high finish, it's pull ans push. Excellant!!!
I find that a 2 handed backhand is very limited in that you can't put that much spin on the ball, do drop shots, and it can be weaker. For returning serves however, it can be more reliable.
the thing is, even if have nice BH like this, u can really difficultly make big accelerations except in diagonal using ur wrist to amplifly it.
I have this kind of BH and the most thing it does (and it's not to be underestimated ^^) is discouraging opponent to make huge acceleration on ur BH, as they come back the way + precision. It has a psychological impact really appreciable any level ;)
the only reason why i prefer one handed backhand (i play it) and roger federer is because it looks elegant. And, yes one handed backhand is not as strong as two handed but it s absolutely more accurate.
obviously a 2 handed backhand has more power, you can see that by watching tennis.
1 handed is more versatile, where it can be used greatly. todays game is all about forehand winners, so the power is given by forehand...backhands can be more defensive...
if you look at federer, his backhands and his backhand slices win him so many points. because of how he varies between the 2. 2 handed backhand wouldnt allow him to have that freedom.
but you have to use your strenghts to you advantage...
that can be tru, some people get more power from a 2 handed backhand, but a onehanded has more variety and easier placement than a 2, at least in my opinion.
Mmm depends on the height of the ball: Low balls are best hit late, close to your foot. Knee to waist high balls a bit more in front. Shoulder high balls much more in front. Just stand in front of the side fence and see where the distance is comfortable and the racquet head vertical. It also depends on your stance, a neutral stance hits more in front than a closed stance. With an open stance you can even hit close to your back foot.
shot the fuck up hahaha ... i coluld do the backhand with a sloppier position....hahahau dont have to do all that shit to be good....whatever comes out is fine....im sure he calculated all his postures before he did that backheand..haha.N OOO of cousre not...
Im wondering which shot has the most potential to be more powerful between a 2handed back hand and a 1 handed one. i can see how its easy to assume that the 2 handed one is simply because you're using 2 hands instead of 1, but i think there's something to be said about how a 1 handed one hits farther from your body thus giving more power (the same way an axe hits harder than a hatchet.) Anyone know for sure which is more powerful?
Without question, the one-hander is a far more powerful stroke. The length and leverage generated by the one-hander can't be matched with the shorter two hand stroke.
One hander has more potential for power, but is far riskier if the ball isn't in just the right place. It's best to rally with the two hander and wait for the right ball before going with the one.
What kind of society do we live in where a youtube video about a tennis player's backhand turns contains comments from people calling each other fags?!
They are just young kids happy to break the effect of the hormones by insulting everyone... but i might be wrong, there are sometimes old idiots too who are drunk or got nothing else to do with their miserable & pathetic life.
@sherriffflood thats online society where everyone think theyre thugs and swear they r ready to kill you..what you need is a good keyboard a wireless laser mouse,a large flat screen , then u can enter the fight
Doesn't the title "king of tennis" mean you don't lose to someone whose ranked 23rd at your best tournament, on your best surface, during your best year when you've finally turned #1?
If that's your definition of "king", then I'm afraid some guy named Federer might lead a citizens revolt soon.
Dude, how can you think that Rafa is the king? He can't even play at Wimbledon. Traditionally, the player that wins Wimbledon is called tennis's "king". When Sampras won Wimbledon in 2000, Mcenroe called him "tennis's king" and "its grandest champion". Unless Fed smokes some weed, he'll be your friendly neighborhood resident King after winning Wimby.
You think Fed won't win wimbledon? Alright you're on. I think he can at least make it to the semi-finals. He has a pretty good record for that, but you know what. You're on. I think Federer easily has what it takes to win. Let's find out what happens.
federer is the image of gayness and crying baby....and all his fans are like that....thats their image, a fucking skiny guy who cannot control himself....fucki u lose a game so what....be a man....Nadal is the image of....fuck if i loose this game ill keep fighting until the end....never gave up....and refuse to kiss mr perfection (federer) gay ass....and so Nadal will always be THE KING OF TENNIS!!!....THE bullfighter!!!...
Do you know why Nadal always touches his huge ass? Cause he has been using it the whole last night...And all Nadal fans like to be pounded in their asses! Fag!
damn I cant belive that there is fanboyism for tennis too.
Both of them are great players and have a playing style completely diferent and people shouldn't say theese things about someone that they dont even know
Theres only one word that can describe a backhand like this and that is... Beautiful! It is like poetry in motion, I have a one handed backhand myself and I can defanitly say it is harder to do than a 2 handed backhand.
Single handed backhands are very difficult to master, especially the timing. The two handed backhand is sometimes thought to be better because its more precise however it usually has trouble reaching low balls and the player's slice will not be so great as they are more use to using two hands.
I think his backhand is now the weakest spot , nowadays many guys has the better backhand than Fed ( just compare one-hand backhand ) like Stan, Gasquet, Blake, or even Acasuso. The weakest point is that Fed can't hit backhand down the line regularly, almost miss
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
powerful ? are you kidding ? i like Federer's game, he plays beautiful and elegant. His backhand is the most graceful but not most effective. Almost Federer 's attacking shot is his forehand, not his backhand and that's why Nadal beat Federer so many times because he knows Federer cannot attack him with backhand even Nadal 's out of position
hit it like a baseball period

i remember a commentator saying one time a 2 hand has more strength but a 1 hand has more stretch and variety

One hander has more potential for power, but is far riskier if the ball isn't in just the right place. It's best to rally with the two hander and wait for the right ball before going with the one.

What kind of society do we live in where a youtube video about a tennis player's backhand turns contains comments from people calling each other fags?!

They are just young kids happy to break the effect of the hormones by insulting everyone... but i might be wrong, there are sometimes old idiots too who are drunk or got nothing else to do with their miserable & pathetic life.

Too bad this backhand has no chance of controlling the Nadal forehand.

Doesn't the title "king of tennis" mean you don't lose to someone whose ranked 23rd at your best tournament, on your best surface, during your best year when you've finally turned #1?
If that's your definition of "king", then I'm afraid some guy named Federer might lead a citizens revolt soon.

Dude, how can you think that Rafa is the king? He can't even play at Wimbledon. Traditionally, the player that wins Wimbledon is called tennis's "king". When Sampras won Wimbledon in 2000, Mcenroe called him "tennis's king" and "its grandest champion". Unless Fed smokes some weed, he'll be your friendly neighborhood resident King after winning Wimby.

You think Fed won't win wimbledon? Alright you're on. I think he can at least make it to the semi-finals. He has a pretty good record for that, but you know what. You're on. I think Federer easily has what it takes to win. Let's find out what happens.

No! You're misinterpretating what I said! I'm a total Fed fan! What I said was that Nadal's supremacy is over! Fed's the best! Ever! On any surface!

Theres only one word that can describe a backhand like this and that is... Beautiful! It is like poetry in motion, I have a one handed backhand myself and I can defanitly say it is harder to do than a 2 handed backhand.

Single handed backhands are very difficult to master, especially the timing. The two handed backhand is sometimes thought to be better because its more precise however it usually has trouble reaching low balls and the player's slice will not be so great as they are more use to using two hands.

I think his backhand is now the weakest spot , nowadays many guys has the better backhand than Fed ( just compare one-hand backhand ) like Stan, Gasquet, Blake, or even Acasuso. The weakest point is that Fed can't hit backhand down the line regularly, almost miss

All those guys you mention are not even on his level. Hence the reason why hes the #1 player.

federer is the only player i have seen who has a backhand so elegant and powerful that it can bust any Stan, Gasquet, Blake, or Acasuso.

powerful ? are you kidding ? i like Federer's game, he plays beautiful and elegant. His backhand is the most graceful but not most effective. Almost Federer 's attacking shot is his forehand, not his backhand and that's why Nadal beat Federer so many times because he knows Federer cannot attack him with backhand even Nadal 's out of position
