Tennis Backhand Swing to Contact

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

All high-level players swing forward on their backhand by doing 3 things simultaneously. They push off their back foot and get the heel up, they rotate their body back towards the net, and they drop the racket down and then swing forward.

Thx Will...on ur future vids pls don't do the flash segways. The softer blurred transitions are easier on the eyes and not so annoying.

My son Felipe has a weak backhand...I have told hi that the main problem of lack of pace is that his contact point is not good..he doesnt hit the ball on the rise, besides...his follow through is too short....I mean he loses contct with the ball pretty early..can that really make his backhand weak?

thanks

you've got to have a correct contact point to hit properly. you also need to extend through the ball when you hit to generate pace -- simply being in the correct racket / body position at contact won't make you hit w/sufficient power. try emphasizing that Felipe swing through the ball and extend into the court after he hits. let me know how that works.

@FYB2007 Do you recommend the hands being separated on the handle or on top of each other for the backhand?

will i grow taller if i play tennis regularly ?

Not sure why, but I've noticed many of the Russian / Eastern Euro players have a gap in between their hands when they grip and hit the two-hand backhand. Sasha Jones has it if you watch her grip. I think its to emphasize more left arm in the stroke.
