Lleyton Hewitt - Two-Handed Backhand

[Stlouis123pdd]

hewitt is the bomb

[AceGuitarR7]

it only looks cramped because hes hitting cross court with topspin probably.... if its cramped then why did he hit the exact centre of the racquet... its a perfect shot

@affenkeks @kakatu80 I'm surprised you guys didn't include Agassi on your list.

[NiggeliNG]

Two handed backhands look all the same... boring...

[Upinsmoke1987]

Is his right hand continental? i cant really tell, looks slightly further round

[gammatnt]

he keeps his eye on the ball even after he hit it. he don't even look at where he will hit the ball too.

I can't do that.

HEWITT YOU ARE MY IDOL..!

[PowerSlouch]

hewitt's said that he uses a more straight-armed backhand because it's better at absorbing power

[sportsfan2412]

nico74321 hewitt does have a loop but his arms are very stiff and it seems as if hes not at times but he is

[nico74321]

hey i've got a question on leyton hewitt's backhand. i watched closely and notice that he does not draw a circle to prepare for his backhand stroke instead he arc inwards lift the raquet high to gives a powerful blow, am i correct?

[xXxFatalClawxXx]

Hewitt and nalbandian have sick backhands.

[nalsolid]

cuz of yonex :)))

[halliday2010]

im not a fan of lleyton hewitt

[jasoncho92]

Nice to know an absolute nobody doesnt like Hewitt.

[halliday2010]

haha wow your a fag

and who exactly r u????

[jasoncho92]

Im also a nobody in this world. No one gives a shit about who you like in this world

[halliday2010]

well ill add u to my list

[aeroprovinnie]

I think he was just aiming crosscourt thats why it looks so cramped

[RenegadeFightah]

I think his backhand always looks cramped and stiff... it's still an effective shot but it is not pretty.

[mysteriekiller]

It's not cramped, it's technically sound and solid.

[ShlongConnery]

i think his backhand is probably the best and coolest looking backhand in tennis right now

[Nidhogg86]

I found it funny how he against Djokovic did a one-handed backhand on the run which caught Novak off guard, forcing him to miss his volley. And no, it was not a slice.

[eggrolleggroll]

it was a nice eastern bh too

[aunit64]

That ball got really close to his body (not a good example of his stroke).

[bigpo1234]

i think you're right

[lobextomy]

the best example is the one that is hit in a real match, like this

[aunit64]

your not getting the point

[txchou]

all his shots look like that; i think it just looks like its cramped but it isn't

[its59degrees0utside]

thats how my coach has me hitting my backhand, my arms are too stiff and he doesnt want me to start from square 1 with my backhand so he just had me relax my wrists. If you notice he drops his wrists, but his left arm is stiff

[captainniki]

@txchou That's right, I think it's because of his straight arm(s) during the motion

[matty7112]

@aunit64 the further away from the body the stroke is, the less power you'll have. Thats why he's so good on counter-attacks
