Pro Connor Garnett teaches how to master the two-handed backhand.

He starts by explaining the different type of two-handed backhand shots and ways to grip the paddle.

Connor emphasizes the importance of footwork and using the body's kinetic chain, which means moving your body parts in a connected way to hit the ball.
