2 Handed Backhand Fundamentals.
One Minute
Tennis Lesson
Lesson explanation:
Be consistent and safe with your two handed backhand. Feel confident and enjoy control when using the Backhand Fundamentals.
The two handed backhand is the safest and in many ways the simplist stroke in tennis but only if the fundementals are correct.
Information:
To enjoy safe, secure consistency it is essential to:
Keep the two hands together. The hands should just be touching, not overlapping, but never appart. This avoids a wristy stroke and lengthens the hitting zone.
The left elbow remains close to the tummy as long as is comfortable throughout the stroke.
This prevents the right arm becoming too controlling.
Push through with the left hand.
This is the most important factor in the two handed backhand. The left hand must be the driving force in the stroke!
