Backhand Step 1 - Pivot and Shoulder Turn

http://www.fuzzyyellowballs.com/improve-your-forehand-in-45-minutes/

The pivot and shoulder turn starts your backhand and you do it as soon as you realize you're hitting a backhand. The shoulder turn starts your racket take-back -- you arms haven't moved much yet.

Hey jishkid... Roddick is the 5th best player in the world. You know what that means? That only 4 people are better than him. He could beat you 6-0,6-0 hitting only backhands.

safin has the most clean strokes ever, looks like hes not even trying

Roddick sucks

[MrRokthemic]

You are missing something very critical from this presentation...The One-Hand Backhand! Where can I find this at?

@hoyoung1996 u are so right. roddick would probably beat all amateurs but vs really tough opponents he has no chance. did he ever won a match vs federer???

Great tutorials! You are very detail and thorough. Thank you very much!

I ant beleive you used Roddicks backhand as an example, ok yes he has shoulder rotation, but it is not world class, far from it.

so I am thinking about switching to a one handed backhand. The main reason is that my two hander absolutely sucks. I have no consistency or pace with it. Most of the time it goes into the net. If I do get it over, it is either weak or out. I've been trying to improve it for a while now, and it seems to not go anywhere. Getting frustrated, I was thinking if I should make a switch and try to see if I can hit a one hander better. What do you think I should try to do? Thanks

Great instruction, so vital to load your weight on the back foot before weight-transfer onto front foot.

Also the bending of the knees gives more of a coiling up of the spring, before releasing into shot.

My favourite single-handed topspin backhands are Roger Federer, Richard Gasquet, and Justine Henin.
