Five Golden Tips For Advanced Two Handed Backhand (TENFITMEN - Episode 154)

Level and focus more on the handle part of the racket. See what happens closer to the throat of the racket, right? Instead of this we go, hi everyone, my name is Milan Krietin from Serbia. I'm founder of 10fitment and I'm a professional tennis player and coach. What's up guys? Welcome back to another 10 fitment video. Today I'm gonna give you five golden tips for your two handed backing. So the tip number one, I want you to think about that coil, right? The turn, we all know the unit turn and imagine the racket super heavy. So what if the racket is 20 kg and also the way you turn, you want to make that turn simple and also engag full body, right? And your arms should not really change height so much. So look at my arms are relatively in the same level, right? And think about it, this is heavy. We won't really be able to like lift too much or you know, change the height. Just very simple turn, make that simple viewing turn and go all the way back. So it's like one hundred and eighty degrees from the front to the back side and keep that, you know, leverage here. But the point is like keep that turn very simple. And like the racket is heavy so you need to use the full body and get that nice position here, right? The level of arms and the hands is kind of the same. Tip number two for today is how we think about the racket movement and how we maneuver the racket. So I want you to think about more on the handle and focus more on the handle part of the racket. Of course you're aware of the racket head, but more controlling the handle position and that goes from the start of the swing and also when we swing forward, right? So we are kind of leading the racket, controlling the racket by thinking about the handle. And also here you need to kind of try to pull the handle forward and then still with the handle more and then a lot. So at least in this first part and the middle part of the swing, when you're going for the ball, like you think about handle, maneuvering the handle, right? It will give very, very good feeling and more stability in your shot and you will have solid drive, solid Dr. Tip number three, it's about uncoiling, right? This is the crucial part of the backhand, of the two handed backhand and pretty much all the groundstrokes that uncoiling moment, how we get the hip. And here I want to talk about this back foot, how we unlock the back hip, right? So we get Here how we unlock with the back foot and how we activate the hip through the ball, right? So it's this part here, this part, see what happens. And then that's going to really help you to engage that back hip. Because if the back foot is kind of locked here, we are kind of blocking that hip, right? Number four, and this is also a big one, super, super important here. It's the combat point, right? I want you to think about where we hit the ball as we're hitting. So where you want to get on the two handed backhand, you want to think about actually a bit less space. You don't want to stay too far from the ball if you have a chance, right? You kind of want to come closer, like a little bit closer to the body. Not too close, right? But relatively closer. And then the contact point should be roughly around here. I place the camera. So, sweet spot. But if you want to bring that contact point closer here, closer to the throat of the racket rather than here, you will get much more drive. Why? Because where is the center of the gravity that the mass, center of mass of the racket is closer to this area. It is true that mostly they say like sweet spots here and this is the faster part of the racket, you know, when you swing through because it's further away, has more speed, but here you will get more solid feel and just more stable shots, right? So when you hit the ball, try to bring that contact point closer here, alright? Tip number five is going to be right after the contact point. If we, assuming we got it here, how we extend that racket through the ball. This one, I call it lead with the edge. You know this term, you know, for the serve, kind of leading with the edge, but this is a different concept. So obviously you're not going to lead with the edge here, but it's up the contact where the racket is now square to the net. You want to think about this more bottom edge and maybe this one further. So once you hit it, instead of kind of doing a windshield wiper motion like on the forehand, right? We have this one. But here after the contact point, you kind of want to watch this, watch this area. It kind of takes the lead and then goes up, just lead, bam, lead. And then extended away five tips. And now we have the bonus tip for two handed backhand. I'm gonna talk about the finish, how we finish the swing, right? And what happens with legs most of the time. Assuming that we have correct turn and then leading with the handle, the good drop unlock of the hips, right? Good contact point here, right. And then after this one, up and back to the top. So we're gonna focus here on that finish and the back leg will go out so you can completely execute with the uncoiling. Alright, so that was five tips and a bonus. I'm gonna do a quick recap here. I'm gonna try. So tip number one was about the nice compact swing here. Would not be lifting too much your arms. So at the same level, thinking about the racket is heavy, right? Tip number two, focus on the handle of the racket and how you maneuver. The racket is through the handle, right? So the handle will be kind of important part of the racket. And also with the drop, right arm stays same and then pull the handle forward. Number three was about unlocking the leg here, unlocking the hip, right. The back leg. Number four was about, remember the contact point closer to the throat, to the racket and distance. So getting a little bit closer to the wall so that you know, if I face the net, I can get that contact point towards here rather than there. Number five. Right. After that what happens is that we want to lead with the bottom edge or with this kind of tip of the edge here. So it's up to this, right? Instead of this we go bam. Right? Like scooping the ball. Almost like here scooping the ball. The bonus was about the finish, right? How we exit the shot. If I face an apples, we finish here and have the elbow high. Alright, thanks so much for watching.
