Fundamentals of Tennis: Backhand groundstroke

(1/1)

maruppharm:
1. Acceptable grips are the continental, eastern and double handed grips. Double handed grips are usually a combination of a continental or eastern grip with the dominant hand and an eastern forehand or semi-western forehand grip with the non-dominant hand.

2. Wait for the ball as you would on a forehand groundstroke.

3. Take the racket back in a smooth and continuous manner that you are comfortable doing. Pivot the hips, turn the shoulders and load your weight on the back foot.

4. Swing for the ball with a relaxed arm/s and loose wrist/s. Hit the ball in front and firmly drive through it, uncoiling the shoulders and trunk. Transfer your body weight from back foot to front foot as you step into the shot.

5. Follow through completely. One handers should keep the elbow straight and two handers should finish over the opposite shoulder. Recover for the next shot.
