Love your content, you're doing an amazing job!

Can I just say: that racquet toss and catch at 0:40 was BUTTERY smooth!

As a onehanded backhand player I try to stay away from the high backhand as much as possible, but it is a good technique to have in your toolkit. Instead of using the high backhand I like to step in, get the ball early and hit it at a height somewhere between my knee and my bellybutton. This has considerable advantages. You hit the ball early so you lower the time your opponent has to get to it. You change and control the tempo because this is one of the better ways to take control in a rally. You can choose to advance to the net since taking it early, most of the time, means stepping inside the court and building a forward momentum. The drawback though is getting to the ball in time, which means more effort. And how we spend our energy on the court is something all of us have to choose. The slice you guys showed very well is also a very important control tool. I think a more in-depth video would be great since it's either underused by most players or abused by people who don't trust their backhand. Thanks for the video, keep up the good work and sorry for the long post.

This is by far the best and only video on KZfaq that explains the one handed high backhand properly 💪

13 seconds in, I like you already.

Thank God! Took me so long to find a "high backhand" video that actually talks about hitting the ball when it's high!

6:31 Oh yeah baby!!!!! Beautifully done by the Swiss Maestro.

Thanks for the video. Lots of interesting info. Detail and alternatives surpass other training vids. Absence of repetition is nice too. Confused by: @3:39: "tilt your torso back in the opposite direction to elevate that right shoulder" The video shows horizontal shoulder line at contact @3:41. @3:45: "Federer will adjust the racquet head to be more vertical at contact" Adjust grip? wrist position? shoulder line? (Shoulder line horizontal here too.) @4:21: "raise the racquet orientation by rotating your arm outward" Doesn't the arm rotate outward gen'lly for OHBH? "Racquet orientation" relative to what? Or just raise the head above the grip? Refreshing to see moonball lesson that goes beyond "1. move back, 2. take it on the rise, or 3. suffer". Looking fwd to more videos.

You guys are pure players and instructors. 100% positivity and inspiration. Thank you! 👏❤️

I've been playing for 10 years yet achieved nothing. Watched your videos since last month and now my shots are much better. Now I enjoy the game so much more. Thank you guys for all awesome lessons. Hands down the best and most detailed tennis lesson for all levels.

This was very helpful. I watched a few competitors' videos before I found yours, and this one help me the most by far.

I like the way shapovalov jumps jnto these shots. Works for me also.

Another great video. I noticed Coach V at Tennis Con 2 online and wondered when he would be introduced. I am spreading the word here in Hampton Roads, VA

Another amazing clarification guys, thank you! I'll be falling back a lot on my high topspin one-handed backhand just to counteract that moonball angle. I'm using the slice exclusively when closing down to the net, couse at this point the opponent is not that sharp in splitsteping and the positioning on the court is out of the usual rhythm which gives it a bit of a surprise factor when rushing to the net. It works let's say 70percent of the time, depending on the accuracy of the slice and the opponents reading my body language preparing for this big chip and charge. And I'll be going HERE'S UR MOONBALL SLICED INTO YO FEET WHATCHU GONN DOO?!!!

Great to get another Racquetflex instant classic vid! And welcome to the one and only team of RF (Sorry, Roger, it means RacquetFlex from here onwards!), Mr. Vansomething. :-D

You guys make an awesome team! I’m going to try raising my left shoulder for the flat return on my 2HBH. I use the slice already and try to take the high ball on the rise when it’s mid court. I have been moon balling back on those high backhands also which are too defensive. Now I can’t wait to try the flat return you showed. Thank you!

Impressed by the details and techniques

Always a pleasure watching your videos! Keep rockin' the court!

This is really good content with great visuals.

The quality of your videos is incredible

Excellent coaching on this high backhand moonballs

thank you guys i got better in a week by watching your videos guys ... 1000 thanks and likes to you team. 🎾🎾🎾🇦🇴👍🏽🤙🏼✌🏾

Excellent video! Great instruction, great explanation. Will put to good use. Thanks, guys!

Yup ...... eventually, the slice must come into play; especially if you’re under 5’10” . My second serve is a looping spin/kick serve that kicks 6-10 feet. Unless you’re a 5.0 player, you’ll have problems with it.

Thanks guys. You guys are the best.

loled @ Michael Jordan

Helpful to an intermediate player. Thank you.

What an amazing channel of all the other ones i’ve seen

The racket coming in is so cool hahah

Thanks i really had a problem with that topspin one

Just amazing. Out of this world

Excellent tips, thank you!

Very unique and informative lesson. Thank-you.

Nice and straight to the point. Thank you.

Keep up the work, nice Quality

1:54 yes. The addition of TURBO!!

@RacquetFlex I was wondering if you could make a video on how to deal with high one handed backhands on the run. I tend to get pulled wide on my forehand, leaving my one-handed backhand open to a high bouncing drive. Dealing with this on the run is very difficult.

Some videos of u hitting the high ball with single backhand u teach from this video will be good. Court level view.

Welcome Grant Vanderhayden! Greaat video guys! So, mods compared to the normal mid height Backhand: 1. Upright torso posture while normal take back 2. Higher contact point of racquet head in relation to the grip 3. Usual follow thru Points 1 and 2 are a give or take and compensate and adjust for hitting the high ball Right? Thanks guys!!!

This is most definitely something that I have to practice.

Good job, guys, I could feel your passion toward tennis

Amazing content and video. Love it, very positive feeling.

Thank you so much for this lesson I will practice apply and win !

The coffe man is back!!!!!

Excellent!!!

Awesome video guys!

Best coach bers vidéo best pédagogie

Helpful for me in many ways.... beginning tennis at 65 years young.

Thanks for the lesson. I will practice it😊

Great lesson, but 0:40 is what made me subscribe instantly

Those moonballers man, they make you earn it

thank you for this video helped a lot

Great, Great (Tony the Tiger) videos!

Great video by both!

Hilarious last clip. Loved it

Just AMAZING Amazing amazing out of this world

it's weird how just after coming home from tennis I get recommended a video about the one thing I could hit!

Hey man. I just found your channel. Excellent videos.

Por favor necesito una solucion para resolver con un golpe ganador las pelotas cortas que nuestro oponente deja bajas y cerca de la red.gracias

Good video and eyecatching cg

can you guys make a video on timing the forehand??

so much quality

And how to attack it at the highest peak ? I'm playing single handed BH, I succeeded several times but I'm not consistent at all. That said, the few times I do it, the ball goes like a rocket, Wawrinka style. It feels so great but I hit them properly 5-10% of the time .. Do you have any tips ?

Is there any change of backhand grip for high ball ?

If the ball is too high, I have time to run around it and crush a forehand, even an overhead shot if it's high enough

love your videos, Please do one on Volley

Nice vid guys.

Fantastic video, as always! I had one question if anyone knows: at 3:45, he says the racket face should be more vertical but I looks completely horizontal to me :p. So I'm not sure - more vertical relative to what? Does that mean more open?

Great video .. welcome coach v

You guys not only have insane knowledge, you also seem extremely good players. May I ask what kind of ratings you have NTRP or UTR? Or what kind of background you have? Played D1 or whatever?

Awesome!

De 10, ahora falta uno del revés del "gato" Gaudio jaj

You guys are awesome. I’d love to meet you and also have a class. Great job!

No videos on executing a high backhand volley?

That catch at 0:40 though

Is daytri a lefty

0:04 HAHAH

you get a like good sir

I dig your shit

Tilt chonk

Please say in title it’s single handed banckhand, to save people some time

Shit i have the same racquet as him. I wonder why he likes the racquet

Damn, this shit is too complicated… Im just going to slap the ball and hope for the best

My back so sore

Your hair is a lot shorter then lol

if the ball goes above the height of my head, I just smash it :-D

Stop it get some help LOL

The two handed backhand is basically cheating because players who do that effectively have two forhands. Look at the mechanics of the shot and what each arm is doing. It is in fact effectively a second forhand. Before you hate on me, Try to debunk my argument, please.

stop it. Get some help lol

Stop it. Get some help.😀 I had one of the bigest loughs in my life! And i dont use lmao likely!

Sorry, guys, love your channel, but this was NOT well explained. Please try again.

This guy thinks he's federer , stop over exagerating the shots and look at the ball instead

this is a little too much info/talking without real demonstration
