  • 0:03 that's how i hit my slice -_-

  • Love his backhand

  • His textbook backhand is better than mine.

  • Federer may not be number 1 in the world rankings but he will always be number 1 everywhere else. Thumbs up if you agree

  • ahahahahahah 0:04

  • I hit backhands like this, could never get the grip of a two handed backhand.

  • So there IS porn on Youtube

  • @SuperBajack Not really...

  • there is just a sense of calmness that surrounds me when I watch Roger Federer hit

  • i used to use two hands to hit a backhand... now that i have seen rogers.... I only use a one :D

  • @enricooo666 yes

  • Am I the only one who finds the name of the site pretty disturbing?

  • omg please make this slow motion!!

  • Press 1 for textbook backhand.....

  • Wow, so now I can finally tell people that I hit like Fed! 0:04

  • @OOIEatte HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA

  • fed's backhand hasn't been reliable recently..

  • the guy is too talented to practice.

  • @TennisAnnalyst

    Fed is not so bad on clay, its just Rafa that makes him look so bad whenever they play xD

  • lol bad training partner

  • @TennisAnnalyst i'm not talking about the further away from your body you strike the ball the harder you hit it. i'm talking about the length of the swing. the take back with a single hander is greater as is the follow through. This means that more power is put into the swing from the rotation of the whole body. More momentum is imparted to the ball because a greater mass of your body is moving.

  • @TennisAnnalyst i don't really understand what you're saying. The further away from the axis of rotation that you strike the ball, the less power you will get. so from that respect it is easier to generate power from teh two hander because it is closer to your body and you're using two arms. However the length of hte swing of the single hander is so much longer and the rotation of your whole upper body is so much more that this allows you to put more power into the shot.

  • I almost get it!!!! it's not so difficult if u r one handed. i just keep the raquet in the middle and turn the shoulders 'til the body hold into reverse way and the head keeps watchin' the opposite court. Almost don't move the raquet it's like automatic.

  • hey look 00:04 :There's my backhand!!

  • one handers just look amazing

  • Hey guys, I've always had a double-handed backhand, still it's never been quite as good as my forehand .. So, I decided to switch to a single handed one! I feel it gives me much more control, even though the power in my backhand decreased (which is normal 'cause now I use "new" muscles). But my dad who is also my coach says it's not a good idea to change your backhand at the age of 17. What do you think ?

  • @RasArth I think you just ask another coach, not YouTube.

    

  • @jmzroxthehouse That's the plan, but I'm on vacation now where I have plenty of time to train my backhand so I'd like have some opinions

  • @RasArth i was 17 when i changed from a double to a single. if you play with it for a month or two you'll find you're hitting it fairly naturally. you'll also find you can get as much if not more power from it because the length of the swing is increased. i'd say stick with it but i'm really biased towards hte single hander now cos i think it looks much nicer.

  • 0:05, text book backhand. LOL

  • I cant stop watching

    

  • The first shot and again at 00:24 are so damn hard to do, hit the ball above your shoulders and direct it to go where you want...

  • @miamirain those are easy for me xP

  • @miamirain how do u put in a time like that brings u to that time inthe video

  • @alexjbra All you do is put in the time in as MM:SS and youtube automatically does the link for you.

  • it's all in the wrist son:P

  • If any one thinks that hitting the bal hard, is standard to measure the quality of that shot, you're horribly mistaken. You see it all the time with amature players. If you can play soft and keep control on every shot, than you're starting to get somewhere. Rodger Federer is pure virtue to watch because he's the perfection of technique. Any trainer will confirm that. Yes Nadal is great, Djokovic is amazing as well and Murray is an incredible player but non of them can even be compared to Federer

  • @Ceetjuh00 True. Power comes after control, not before.

  • roger doesnt need a coach.

  • there are no words to express how much i wish i could play like that even 5% of the time...

  • @heartux2 me too.. :((( i keep tryin that backhand .. but most of the time i do bad shots..

  • Lol @ federers double handed backhand at 0:03

  • why does it look so easy??

  • I'd think everyone here criticising federer's backhand can only dream with having a backhand as good as his "relaxed practice backhand". I bet none of us could in a hundred years put that ball back in play, with it's spin, speed and weight.

    If any of you can do it, don't bother coming here to reply, just go on to your countries tennis association and tell someone "I wanna play tennis professionally, I can hit a better BH than Federer". If you do post a video of it in the tube so we can laugh..

  • lo hace ver tan facil!!!

  • i Just got a boner

  • amazinggg'''''class roger the best

  • federer looks like playing with a 4.0 guy.... wahaha thats probably why federer is so bored in this video.....

  • do pros rally with pros during practice or with certain staff in the country club or tournament

  • I'm only a tiny bit jealous. 

  • funny how he likes the vibration from hitting the ball... any idea why he DOESN'T use a dampner?

  • dontclicktheusername udes to belong to me until the youtube fuckers suspended it.

  • When you've hit a million balls from the center like Federer has you might get a little bored here and there....

  • @TennisAnnalyst

    Safin, Agassi, Coria, Nalbandian, Tsonga, Nadal, Gasquet, Murray and Del Potro have all hit 100mph+ backhands. Probably countless others as well. Who are you kidding?

  • @wat870 LOL...uh, no. There are very few FOREHANDS hit over 100 MPH. When they are, it's immediately mentioned. There are only a handful of players who have ever hit 100+ MPH backhands...Federer is actually one of them (twice in his career--04 US Open vs. Agassi, 05 US Open vs. Hewitt). The idea that Murray could ever hit one 100+ is a riot. 

  • @Ricearoni80 so you're saying that Federer has a bigger backhand than Nalbandian or Gasquet or Tsonga or Delpo. Good one!

  • @wat870 The fact that you think TSONGA has a big backhand says it all. Tsonga's backhand is a weak shot and, along with injuries, has prevented him from moving up into the class of the very top guys.

    Del Potro's backhand is sound and consistent, but it doesn't have huge pace. Gasquet's does have more consistent pace than Federer...Nalbandian is more about placement and timing.

    You see, Federer can hit his BH as hard as anyone...the problem is he can't keep it in play consistently when he does

  • @Ricearoni80 100mph backhands don't count if they don't go in, fool. Tsonga can hit massive DTL backhands and nobody would doubt the power of Delpo or Gasquet's backhands. Both have hit waaaaay more powerful winners than Federer's bh.

  • @wat870 Bullshit. Tsonga's backhand is weak and horrible...it's the worst in the top 20.

    Who said anything about them counting if they don't go in? Federer's backhand isn't as GOOD as Del Potro's because it's inconsistent, but it's more powerful when he flattens it out. Go watch the AO final vs. Murray.

    Gasquet's is the best backhand stroke in the game in terms of consistent power and placement, but it takes too long for him to set it up. His movement is thrown completely off.

  • @Ricearoni80 "You see, Federer can hit his BH as hard as anyone...the problem is he can't keep it in play consistently when he does" Thats what you said. If he can't get it in when he hits 100mph, it don't count. Tsonga's backhand has produced some huge winners. Check out his US open 09 match against Gonzalez. Delpo's bh is thumping and Gasquet may have a lengthy set-up but when he hits them, they stay hit.

  • @wat870 This is pathetic reading comprehension failure on your part.

    I said he can't keep it in play CONSISTENTLY, not that he can't keep it in play. That's why he's not always aggressive on that wing...he starts making a lot more errors when he goes for the big hits. The 2 100+ MPH backhands I mentioned were both winners that were hit in play...he was more aggressive back in those days...probably because he was quicker and his body had less wear.

  • Federer looks so de motivated.

    wtf

  • @TennisAnnalyst Haha, I've seen plenty of players max out with speeds like that.. What you initially said was that his offensive backhand is the most powerful on tour, not that the most powerful backhand he has hit is the most powerful on tour (also incorrect, I've seen umpteen guys hit harder than 96mph off the backhand). When Federer attacks on the backhand, it's not close to the power of the likes of Del Potro, Soderling, even Murray. He can't flatten it out like the DH of these guys.

  • Federer...The Bruce Lee of tennis

  • @TennisAnnalyst Federer's offensive backhand is the most powerful on tour? What are you smoking?

  • 0.05 2hand?:D

  • fed's backhand is weak compared to other top ten players. And that's one of the reasons why he runs to the net very often.

  • That second backhand was simply astonishing.

  • it looks so easy! i can do it as well!

  • I have a feeling federer's bh is completely different from the other 1hbh

  • I realy like federers play style but what I dont like about is Federer is hes backhand, deffintley hes *weakest* point

  • @kverheij ur absolutely wrong, federers backhand is just as good as his forehand. its held in high esteem in the tennis world.

  • @cooliogoodMuzic2 Hmm yeah you might be right. But did you see the % of services Nadal gave in 2008 I thought. It was like 95% of Nadel hes services was on the backhand at Federer.

  • @cooliogoodMuzic2 Don't be silly, Rog's backhand isn't as good as his forehand.

    If it was, he wouldn't twist around the backhand to hit a forehand so often.

    Having said that, his one hander is the best in the world, at least from my perspective.

  • the very first backhand in the video is perfect: the ball bounces high, but he still manages to put enough spin to hit a decent shot. Amazing.

  • Roger: "I can't this bastard hit the ball when I wasn't looking" ......I know what i can do ill just work on my two-hander

  • ya federer doesnt even try during practice

    he doesnt need to try

    practice is just for show

    haha hes the GOD OF TENNIS

  • I love how fededer never tries in his practices = )

  • Hahaha

  • yeah, that's pretty hilarious...but he's sooooooooooooooooooo, sooooooo good at tennis... i guess he doesn't exactly need to try xD...

    yay for his beautiful back hand :P

  • even the best players in the world have to practice. But the practice hours between matches never take very long or are as hard as pretournament practices. But yeah, it's great to see that he doesn't try :P

  • That's because the real training happens behind the scenes.

  • FedEX,love u

  • Comment removed

  • Roger Federer Best, Love Roger

  • LMFAO. One of the funniest comments in a while.

  • wow inspirational double hander there

  • Wow that two handed backhand is pretty insulting.

  • @78obuw1 think he's sending out a message??

  • WHAT IF?....while they were laying down the official rules of tennis, and it was determined that the game allowed only for the use of 1 hand on the raqcuet to play the ball during the point?

  • I feel as if Federer fools arround during practice.

  • i would like to fool around with Federer during practice

  • @dontclicktheusername it may seem like that to you, but in fact, he´s just having a light hit, to loosen up the strokes, he´s one of the few player´s, who doesn´t put strain on his body, when he´s playing tennis, he´s got a very harmonious game.

  • Comment removed

  • @dontclicktheusername what does federer has to do with your lame ass name......tell it to someone who gives a fuck obviouslt no one here

  • @dontclicktheusername i don't think fooling around during practice allows you to win 16 grand slams

  • @TheMattSkellz i think what he may mean is federer seems very relaxed in practice...and generally its true federer plays with very little intensity in practice...just compare one of those backhands with a backhand winner he hits in a grand slam...very different...

    but that is *probably* one of his secrets to success. he never over works his body outside grand slam and thats probably why hes gotten to so many semi finals and finals of grandslams...and many of them consecutively...

  • @konvictz0007 you are so wrong.... federer isnt training here....... he is just warming up because he has to play a match in a phew hours............... u dont become the greatest player of history by practising effortesly........... u must have never seeing federer working out

  • @dontclicktheusername

    We still can't beat him though.

  • @dontclicktheusername That's probably why he is loosing now...He has the potential...but no determination....the determination he had a few years back..: (

  • @dontclicktheusername Federer use matches for practice and practices for relaxation. He does what he does in the video when we are taking a dump, watch TV or play video games.

  • 0:04....OMG....Best two-hander ever.

  • life of a sports icon. i wonder what that would feel like, having tons of people line the sides of the court just to gawk at you while you warm up. Even after he hits the ball they don't follow it, they just continue to stare at him. hahaha wow.

  • how do i get that sound? just wondering, my k90 is strung at 57 lbs. will adding a little wilson shock take away the ping sound or is there no difference

  • he does not use shock absorber

    The sound is mainly coming from extra wristy movement and spin on his backhands.

    Keeps his wrist lose so that the racquet head whips at high acceleration at the contact.

    I use head fxp 16 (multi-filament) strung at 20 bucks and lasts 1 year.

  • u should restring every 6 months, recommended

  • nice sound from Roger's racquet, gut mix with poly

  • What happened on his second one? Come on, that was lame.

  • love rogers backand! sik

  • that backhand is nice.

  • so there IS porn on youtube after all....

  • @1234funsies No its better then porn

  • @GerbenBrinks THAN

  • @1234funsies The Tennis ball must be having Orgasms

  • @1234funsies one of the best comments i've ever read

  • @1234funsies amazing comment. Kudos :)

  • he makes tennis looks so easy

  • best 1-hand bh right now is either wawrinka or kohlschreiber

  • In my opinion they both have brilliant backhands and Federer's is one of the best too but I think Gasquet has the best single handed backhand on the tour and i'm happy that his suspension has now been lifted and he is back on the tour again :)

  • @Andyc18 there are other guy´s, who have great one hander´s as well, just as good ,if not better, than gasquet..that would be phillip kohlschreiber, stanislas wawrinka<-which in my opinion has the best one handed top spin backhand on tour..

  • i think richard gasquet has the best one by far

  • gasquet is stronger but lags

  • wawrinka or gasquet

  • what are you smoking

  • Federer's backhand Has hardly any Slice Has anyone Not seen How Nadal Comes back so far and adds So much spin it's like a Boomerang..

  • Roger can hit a fantastic slice backhand when he chooses too; it's just not hit in this video.

  • I know he's using a flat backhand i've seen him do a slice backhand it's just like you said didn't use any spin at all in this video

  • God, I could watch this all day. He makes the shot look so beautiful and effortless.

  • I love the sound of the racket when it hits the ball...Pong!

  • Ok Roger is pretty tall and he just hit a High bouncing backhand over hes shoulder no problem. look at that technique.

  • Its an absolutely beautiful site

  • roger is tha best
