There are two types of tennis players l. Those who use a one handed backhand, and those who wish they used a one handed backhand.

[SuperRazara]

Thank you Coach. The instructions are solid and useful 🙏

[beaglesrfun]

Great, clear, and simple instructions! Thank you.

[somedingnews]

Hey Uros, your explanation of one-handed backhand using the net I find great. Myself, I used this method to teach my daughter double-handed BH as she some years ago still was at the one-handed. We succeeded. So thanks for the good idea!

[vp]

Very good explanation overall, for me especially the reason for contact point being more in front with strong position for hitting arm cleared up questions I had.

[SuryaBurra-jr]

Excellent coaching touched salient points sir❤

[kostasstamatakos]

top demonstration and nice details! Thanx!

[camlendrim]

Have just discovered and really enjoying this channel.

[mario-t]

Super nice, bit thanks, for your demo looks like R foot steps forward at the same time with hitting motion, is this true ? I think for 2HBH you do plant foot first.

[studfinderball]

If you use the Budge grip you can use a bent elbow forearm swing that is FAR MORE forgiving as to the contact point. Not as much power and little topspin are the cons. But the classic Budge grip also hits flat and slice with the same grip. Loops high balls with a forearm snap, and is much easier for rec players to learn and maintain.

Nice video Coach. My only advice is to use a feeder to feed you balls as you demonstrate the hitting sequencing.

[bigneck]

if I throw the ball to my self I’m perfect. If ball come from other end deep strong top spin and bounce high, hard to find the hit zone. Super hard

[LetsBuildThatApp]

Coach, would you be able to explain how you are "releasing" your wrist during contact? Is this coming from the weight transfer forward and "snapping" the whip? This type of snap is really easy on the forehand side but its a mystery to me on the backhand.

[rhm]

Great video Uros! Please ‘remind’ us what is the knuckles on top grip called ? Cheers Hector

[viktors.]

Very useful, gotta try this thanks <3

[harshitpareek]

One thing I noticed that affects the shot is the follow through. Going straight up keeping racket facing upwards vs going behind with racket face downwards will affects the power and direction control. Can you make video on between these two follow thru finish? Thank you in advance.

[peejread]

Hi. Can you make a video regarding 1HBH and tennis elbow? I am noticing in the rec level, even with higher level recreation player has tennis elbow with 1HBH including me. Anything we need to change with the 1HBH to prevent tennis elbow?

[danguee]

0:50 see right there: you 'opened' the face. This is unnecessary and actually complicates the shot - a little bit of unwelcome pronation/supination (where the pronation also becomes a default defensive reaction = not good). Just do a Dimitrov or Lajovic: keep the face angle neutral. One or two players will actually slightly close the face - eg Lajovic sometimes.

[TheDrakulie]

how do you hit the high 1 handed backhand like shoulder high ? all you doing in this vides is low 1handed backhand and waist high ..

[MarcelaR-dhok]

1. Get a ball machine. Do not waste time hitting with a teacher, or the wall.
2. Relax and visualize your stroke. Maybe visualize the Tsitsi bh.
3. Try to make good solid contact. Do not be overly concerned as to the path of the ball at this stage. It will come within 10 hours on the machine....I'm assuming you are an athlete of course.
