great video, this is the best explication of the grip of the one handed

I have been hitting a one hander for about 60 years and fortunately it looks much like yours (I have received itisgoingmuch coaching I might add) but I will say your instruction is as good as it gets. I do have some problems with hard serves to my backhand and sometimes slice the return or shorten it up. Do you have a specific video on backhand returns? My 2 hand return is not bad and Stan Smith did advocate for a two hand return and one hand every where else. I also do some coaching for our high school and I find it easier to teach the two hander. However nothing feels better than a well struck topspin one hander. I am sure glad I stumbled on your videos!

Fantastic explanation! Greetings from Brazil

Great tips, thanks. Time to get back to work on mine!

[rikkkretue]

And no better coach to teach a one hander than you!

[hillsonn]

This was great. I'm in my 30s and started playing tennis last summer and have settled on a one-handed backhand. Lots of clear tips here. Will try to work some of my game.
