Tennis Backhand Ball Machine Drill

advertisement

between crosscourt and down the line backhands. This drill is also great exercise / great for developing proper footwork. Moving around the cone works on the various steps I need to move around the tennis court correctly. I highly recommend you use a drill like this one, as opposed to just hitting on a ball machine with no purpose, the next time you hit the tennis court to practice. Make the most out of your practice sessions!

the thing im impressed on, is that u didnt even touch the net! spin makes the backhand a whole lot easier!

For some reason I have a better backhand than my forehand but I use my forehand more. :| Does anybody feel the same way? lol

Me too! but my forehand is a lot more consistent.. at times when the ball is in the right place on my backhand side I can kill it :P haha

Mine’s like… At the baseline, I have a more solid flatter steadier backhand and my forehand hits heavy topspin coz it’s western. It’s like my backhand receives faster balls better than my forehand lol. :D

I always thought Will hit a one-handed, I use the 2-handed myself too, I’ve tried to learn both.
To me, 2-handed is more stable and consistently powerful as if u try to power a 1handed it takes a lot more focus to level your arm and easier to have elbow injuries

body mechanics. its simply becoz ur elbow cant bend backward and wrap around your body.

i think backhand is easier.. your body isn’t in the way its a much free – er swing. ( is that a word?)

Seems to be quite a good drill. The video is a little bit long though, you could have shown it in half the time.
Nevertheless: I really like your channel, keep on going!

I wish I could play my tennis matches in third person… Play my matches like a video game… ya know? Tennis is just SO awesome with the third person view

Is there HIP rotation in backhand as much as there is in forehand. I always felt backhand has less hip rotation than forehand. Will seems to be hitting with full rotation.

nice backhands! However, I always thought you had a one handed backhand!

I have a Wilson ball machine.

You look like you have a two-handed forehand because I’m not a lefty. Your videos would rock if you were using your right hand. I wish I had learned with my left hand like Nadal, then I could be more competitive. I wonder if it’s too late to start using my left hand?

What do you think? Should I if I’ve been playing for 17.5 years, since I was 10? Why bother?

Sorry, don’t bother

most coaches can use both one or two hands so they can teach both

also when they are feeding balls to the students its easier with one hand,
