The Fastest Way To Improve Your One-Handed Backhand!
Your one-handed backhand has to be a reliable stroke as it's likely it will be attacked often. We usually don't use the one-handed backhand as an attacking stroke but more as a steady, consistent stroke with which we control depth and direction. The following 4-part course focuses on the most common reasons why the one-handed backhand is not consistent and how to improve it with simple corrections.
What You'll Discover in this 4-Part Course:
Correct Follow-Through Technique
The follow-through on the one-handed backhand is one part of the technique that breaks down most often. Learn a simple concept that will help you execute the follow-through correctly and therefore contribute to better consistency of the backhand.
How To Get More Power Using The Shoulder Tilt Technique
When the player fails to generate power from the body they tend to "muscle the ball" which usually results in poor technique and therefore poor consistency of the stroke. This video explains one of the most overlooked sources of power on the one-handed backhand which is the shoulder tilt.
How To Control The Ball Better With A Stable Wrist
The most common cause of inconsistency of the one-handed backhand is the incorrect use of the wrist which tends to move too much and spray the balls around. You'll see slow-motion executions of the one-handed backhand and learn how the wrist needs to function in order to control the ball well.
How To Improve Accuracy By Taming Your Backswing
And lastly we'll look at the backswing which can be another cause for poor control of the ball on the one-handed backhand. In case you tend to swing too much we'll show you a simple corrective exercise with which you will tame your backswing.
