Beginner Video - 1 Handed v 2 Handed Backhand

Key Points

• A two-handed backhand is stronger on the return of serve and for younger players that don’t have the strength to hit a one-handed backhand
• Work on left handed forehands to improve your two-handed backhand
• Drive off the outside leg, bringing the hip through and accelerate through the shot
• Racket back before the bounce
• With the single-handed backhand turn the hand around further on the grip with your hand behind the ball
• Stay a little more side on for the single handed backhand and don’t rotate quite as far through the shot or you’ll pull off the ball too early
