@percussionist93 yup, more of a slice shot than a topspin. It's like the grip for a slice mixed with the swing path of a flatter backhand.

if you ever watch young players they throw a lot more legs and core into the ball. most of the time they swing so fast their feet will lift off the court. a good example is gasquet who has the best one handed back in tennis.
-
actually nevermind hes not that old. but on his backhand he doesnt put as much shoulder into it so theres less pace
-
to drive on a onehand backhand you really have to hit flat onto the ball. the spin comes more from the follow through rather than making contact above the ball like a forehand. and hes kinda old so he has to open up a bit
-
Forgot to mention that the amount of topspin I now get has dramatically increased.

My coach advised me yesterday that my backhand swing path should remain within the 'tram lines', if I stood in the centre - does this make any sense to you because your swing path looks completely different on this clip. Thanks

you're one to talk

No
Their forehand needs that power for it to be amazing
Fellas... Look, call my drive backhand, old, classic, old-school, whatever, but the main point is this...
My job as a tennis teaching professional is to teach you a style of play with associated strokes & strategies that will allow you to play and enjoy the game for the rest of your life.
If you try to copy & model some of today's touring pros, you won't be playing the game past 50. If anyone out there thinks they can hit a Rafa or Roddick like forehand at 50, you're out of your mind.
