6:59 what a shot !! Man, I wish I had that backhand! It's not just technical, it's confidence!

I noticed Nick is that elbows have to be away from the body. I played a lot of club players that hit the two handers and their elbow’s are to close to their body!
I have always been able to hit really well with the two handler, I think it’s just genetics and my footwork used to be very good. I am 51 disabled man now, and I am still able to hit a solid backhand. Great job on the video Nick.

I'm a beginner, (likely well below 3.0 level) but I find that I get the best results with the left-handed forehand cue. Reason being that, when I pull across with my right arm, I either get a thin (I think that's the right word for it) shot that fails to clear the net because I don't make solid contact, or yank it to my right side. If I focus on swinging through the ball with my left hand, then I instantly gain quite a bit of consistency and placement.

6:25 great summary! Thank you so much for the video

[Pain]

You're a very clear speaker, and I like your transitions. Nice instructional video

Hi Nik, my best shot is the single hander but I'm going to try the two-hander via a ball machine just to see if I can do it, thank you for this excellent breakdown of what is and what is not necessary. Gordon

I really want to apply all this to improve my 2HB...thanks in advance.😊

[omarsultanov]

Can't help but to happily recognize that it's the best to my best knowledge and by far step by step coverage of the 2H BH.
For me as a single BH it'll be a must once my left shoulder and the left elbow would recover. I did harm them by trying 2H BH in just three matches and it was enough. 🤔🙁 Never thought it'd be that easy to harm the joints with the wrong 2H BH.

Great input, Nick! 👏👍😊

Hello, i wanted to ask you the role of the left index finger (being right handed) in the double handed backhand.
Should it go a bit open, as in the forehand?
or should it go attached to the other fingers?
Thank you for all your amazing videos.

"Zverev has one of the best backhands on tour right now."

Three years later, Zverev wins Olympic gold and the ATP finals.
