  • I have alot of backhand problems in general I beg for it to be as good as my forehand

  • @Mikehawks92 Put down your racquet and pick up a frisbee. Take the frisbee on the court and practice throwing it down the wall on the backhand side. Work on rotating your hips all the way through, flat and level, the frisbee should be straight and parallel to the ground.

    Once you master this, pick up your racquet and use the same mechanics on your backhand. Flat and level, parallel to the floor.

    Let me know how it goes!

  • I want to learn how to play racquetball. I wish I could meet tim.

  • @702sincitylv Well I live right here in Vegas so drop me an email any time if you'd like some racquetball lessons. My email is on my website or in my YouTube profile.

    It's one of the best sports for beginners to play because it's incredibly fun and inexpensive to start.

  • Great pointers! Thank you

  • @perroncho3 You're welcome.

see all

  • This is the best video on backhand shot!

  • @racquetballtim ok that's cool, I also live in vegas on the east side a few blocks away from LVHS.

  • People make the mistake of "altering" their swing, and mechanics when hitting different shots. Check out my "contact points" video to see what I mean. You take the exact same swing for each shot, with the only difference being the contact point.

    This will add deception AND consistency to your shots. For example, some people step toward the side wall (forehand) when hitting a pinch or splat. Easy to read, and it blocks off your hip rotation.

    Remember, same swing, different contact point.
