Master your twoie backhand

Tip of the day

This video offers a detailed breakdown of the two-handed backhand, starting with the ideal stance, which involves feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent, to create a stable base.

It thoroughly explains the grip, where both hands are close together on the paddle, with the dominant hand slightly above the non-dominant hand for control.

The video then walks through the swing mechanics, emphasizing a smooth take-back, a direct contact point in front of the body, and a full follow-through to ensure power and accuracy.

It highlights the importance of transferring weight from the back foot to the front foot during the swing and rotating the torso to generate additional power.

Common mistakes, such as late preparation or excessive wrist movement, are identified and corrected, providing viewers with actionable tips to achieve a consistent and effective two-handed backhand.

Key Points:

  • Stable Stance & Grip: Wide stance, close grip for control.

  • Smooth Swing: Fluid take-back, contact, follow-through.

  • Weight Transfer: Use body weight for power.

  • Avoid Wrist Movement: Minimize wrist action for consistency.
