This backhand is probably the best shot in my repertoire but I still found a couple of useful tips to work on here. I would definitely encourage the newer players to give this a shot. Too many coaches find it easier to upsell the double handed option to newer players.
Best tips i have ever seen.
been watching all one handed lessons, and this is by far the best one! thank you
The spacing is so crucial...thanks for this timely tutorial coach M. Your 1HBH is really smooth.
great job, I watch a lot of videos about back hand one hand , no one explain like you , speciely the grip. tnk you
Thank you! I appreciate it
Very good video and instructions for the one handed backhand. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for the greqt video. Could u please also make one video preparing early for the shot. Even after 15 years of tennis I strugle mostly due to not preparing well even though right technique
And no better coach to teach a one hander than you!
great video, this is the best explication of the grip of the one handed
Tennis is a sport of a lifetime. This video will help keep the interest in a great sport of a lifetime.

This was great. I'm in my 30s and started playing tennis last summer and have settled on a one-handed backhand. Lots of clear tips here. Will try to work some of my game.
I have been hitting a one hander for about 60 years and fortunately it looks much like yours (I have received itisgoingmuch coaching I might add) but I will say your instruction is as good as it gets. I do have some problems with hard serves to my backhand and sometimes slice the return or shorten it up. Do you have a specific video on backhand returns? My 2 hand return is not bad and Stan Smith did advocate for a two hand return and one hand every where else. I also do some coaching for our high school and I find it easier to teach the two hander. However nothing feels better than a well struck topspin one hander. I am sure glad I stumbled on your videos!
I have pretty good one - handed backhand^ but you gave a couple of very good tips for me. Thanks a lot, Meike! You are the best inet tennis coach
That's great to hear!
Henin was a shorty and routinely caught balls around chest level which probably explains why her grip looks pretty extreme. On low balls it looks like a normal eastern backhand grip.
Grigor is ripping that high ball which forces the stance to open up post contact.
You just helped me so much & I’m 3.5-4.0 Great channel!
Awesome! Thank you!
Where can I find the tip to the high one handed backhand link?

You show the racquet dipping with the wrist in neutral. However, you don’t actually hit the ball this way. Neither do other players. Check out the wrist positions from this ATP compilation. Dimitrov gets to neutral on high balls a couple times with a wrist swing but virtually all of the swings are with the wrist extended at drop and at contact. kzhead.info/sun/lbKefpaQnKh9f4U/bejne.htmlsi=5HonLejzVLUNuAoE
