One Handed Backhand Tennis Lesson | Single Handed Backhand Technique | Tennis Backhand Drills

Understand the proper mechanics and learn how to hit the perfect one handed backhand with us today.

In this tennis lesson we look at the fundamentals of the one handed backhand. Fabian very clearly demonstrates how to use the hips, shoulders and legs to get the most out of the single hander. Most people will view the backhand as their weaker side, but don't hide from it, improve it. This can very easily be one of your strengths on the tennis court too, so give yourself an extra weapon and win more tennis matches from today onwards.

We will cover the following in this tennis lesson:

1. The grip - Eastern/Extreme Eastern backhand grip and how to best switch to the correct grip.

2. The use of the lower body and how to apply 'heel to toe' weigh transfer, as well as stepping across your body laterally to enable a full shoulder turn and ultimately produce more power.

3. How to keep your weight forwards in order to hit a heavier backhand.

4. How to turn and place the racquet to allow for more top spin.

5. How to follow through and finish on the backhand to enable maximum power.

And then finally we also include point play at the end of the video to demonstrate the effectiveness of Fabian's backhand and how you can very easily achieve the same results.
