One Handed Backhand in Tennis - How to Master the Stroke

▷▷▷One Handed Backhand in Tennis - How to Master the Stroke

With tennis becoming more and more of a power game, one of the shots that has become less common today is the one handed backhand. More and more tennis players are employing the two handed backhand to play their shots compared to the one handed alternative. The reasons are pretty clear, the two handed shot can be quite powerful and more accurate. 

However, the one handed backhand stroke can be equally lethal as well. This is especially true when you are not in a position to get your second hand to the racquet on time that a mastery over the one handed backhand stroke can help. Here are some tips to learn to hit a one handed backhand stroke. 

The first step is to get the right grip. Hold your racquet like you would be holding a hammer. The racquet should not be perpendicular. So if you are a right handed player, use your left hand to slightly tilt the head of your racquet towards the right. As the ball comes to you, move your racquet away from the ball so that your playing shoulder is close to parallel to the base line. You may use the non-playing hand to slightly steady the racquet at this stage. 

The most critical part of the shot is the swing. Remember to give a slightly upward push to the ball as you swing as this will give it a top spin along with the backhand shot. All along, never take your eye of the ball as this will help you place the ball at exactly the intended spot.
