Developing the Most Explosive Backhand on the Women's Tour

Key Points

• Focus on the legs by dropping down and driving up
• The player should feel that their hips are under the ball, so they can generate power through the shot
• The opposite arm on the 2 handed backhand is the leading arm
• Iga Swiatek practices using her left arm to improve her 2 hander
• Strengthening the opposite arm will improve your control and teach you how to lead with this arm when hitting
• Practicing drive backhand volleys can improve racket head speed
• Switch between 1 backhand drive volley and 1 regular backhand
• Everything starts and finishes with the legs
