Perfect One Handed Backhand in 3 Steps - Perfect Tennis (Episode 5)
The one-handed backhand in tennis is arguably the most beautiful shot.
However, it causes many issues for countless tennis players around the world. Even Roger Federer had his one-handed backhand exposed by Rafa Nadal for much of his career.
Some players possess outstanding one-handers though, Stan Wawrinka, Richard Gasquet, Gustavo Kuerten, Tommy Robredo, Tommy Haas, and many others have shined using a one-handed backhand.
In this lesson, Coach Simon Konov of Top Tennis Training will show you exactly how to hit a perfect one-handed backhand in three steps.

Hey coach, what racquet do you use, I have been using the duel g 330, its great for my ohbh but for my forehand it feels clubby as i have a bent elbow western grip, im trying to learn a straight arm forehand but i think i need a lighter racquet, thanks.

My question has always been on when to release my left hand (I’m a righty). Seems like some players almost follow through with it…. I played with a guy with a good one hander the other day and he felt I was releasing too early. When is too early? 😊Nice video bro! Thanks 🎾

I would say any time between the racket drop phase and the lag phase is a good release point. Before then it’s too early to

You nailed how to teach a one handed backhand. This is the best video i have seen on this topic. Do you know who I believe founded the modern one handed bbackhand technique? I believe it to be Eliot Teltscher. Thank you for the awesome content!

@ronm7114 26 күн бұрын

Can you explain why the one hander can feel so different compared to a two hander?

@TopTennisTrainingOfficial 26 күн бұрын

It’s a very different shot. One hander you’re relying on arm extension and shoulder/scapula stability/strength whilst for the two hander we can focus more on trunk rotation and power generation from the top hand, as if we’re hitting a left handed forehand

@ronm7114 26 күн бұрын

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial tx, i think a one hander is also more from the heart. Since forehand is related to ego. Which is why u can correct a lot more with it, thus as well with the two hander. The heart is more pure, thus the technique on the one hander needs to be very good. Since u cant correct much with a one hander. Thats my take. I also think that heart carries over to the forehand giving it more power when playing with a one hander and sense of freedom.

It looks different than a standard eastern bachand grip. I think his palm is on bevel 8 and index knuckle between bevel 1 and 2. It's either like this or he holds eastern backhand with a hammer grip.

Simon, all excellent points in terms of what a national, international player achieves when they hit theor one hamded backhand. Are there any tips that would help a beginner, intermediate, advanced or slightly higher to achieve these aspects. Especially, how ro hit in front? I dont believe a player intemds to hit a little late but it is that none of these yiutune videos explain how to hit futher in front, in terms of what acrually helps a player like yourself, hit further in front. Ive actually hit with you and played points against against you but this video fails to explain the core teaching aspects that helps a beginner, intermediate or advanced player actually develop

@TennisCourtSIdeView 6 ай бұрын

I meant to add. All of these things can be explained within their understanding of a practice swing and the important aspects to develop, understand but as a coach, it is important to explain how they can achieve these things, as, players by themselves, may understand the technical explanation but struggle when a ball is travelling towards them. I'm conscious that I never see this explained in these videos. For me, that would be the most important thing, because they will then feel in control and start to develop, or enhance, in the case of an advanced or national player, by doing these other things that you don't mention

@TopTennisTrainingOfficial 6 ай бұрын

Making contact in front comes down to many factors, being in the right position (footwork) having an ideal backswing, tracking the ball properly from the time it comes off the opponents racket, early preparation, and using the correct stance for that particular shot all play a part. For mastering the technique of this shot, we have a step by step system that we use which is what our backhand course on our website is based on. This video may help you with timing though - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n518fqiBytyddJ8.htmlfeature=shared

The rise of the two-handed backhand is mainly due to the fact that the age at which kids start playing tennis is getting younger and younger. Children have more power and of course more stability with the two-handed backhand than with the one-handed backhand.
