Learning the Basics of the Two-Handed Backhand in Pickleball | Connor Garnett
Nice drills - but not at all what I thought the video would be about from the title and picture.
It would be nice if you could show this in slow motion. Great video.
That house is awesome!! Great tips thanks
Thank you!
LOL. Was expecting this long rally
Well you are one hell of a player. Love watching you play.
Thanks, appreciate it
My backhand looks like his until the ball comes off my paddle...
Really helpful!
Thanks!
Great video!
Connor, Good Luck in the Men’s Singles Final tomorrow in the Utah Open You’re a Champ!
Thank you
@@congarnett It’s going to take you some time to beat Fed But you’ve got the Twoey!
Nicely done ! Thanks 🙏🏽
Thank you
Thanks for the video. One bit of feedback….too much camera motion while you were demonstrating. I wasn’t able to focus in on what you were doing. I was more concerned about not getting dizzy from watching. New subscriber. Thanks
Copy that, always appreciate feedback
the best Two-Handed Backhand in Pickleball video ! hands down
Appreciate it
hands on the paddle, you mean
How many hours a day on average would you say you drilled/practice on your way to becoming pro caliber?
I would get out and drill and play as much as I could! Especially in the beginning
We need a video for the one hand defensive backhand
🫡
The music is so bad it is giving me a headache cant watch ...
This is the year when the keep em back theory goes away. Opponent at baseline you dink it to the kitchen. Those who watch this video are not fast enough to get in and cover it. Also when pushed back behind the baseline you cannot get your weight forward to drive, defensive high lob, the ligher the better.
Yeah, the drop shot after the lob can be effective
@@congarnett your not getting it, you got the wrong combo. You beat em back anyway, Waters does it all the time.
I haven’t found that as successful with the speed of certain players but hear what you are saying. In a few matches I have done that to no avail and have to be tactical about it as if they get it it is a free pass up to the kitchen
Yes the next time I play a pro, I'll just keep em back!
Yeah, def see your point up to certain levels can be very effective
and great video, BTW! Thanks for creating it and posting it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
assuming your opponents are both right handed, are there more opportunities to lob from the even court? It seems to me it would be an easier lob to execute from the even court, over the other even court player's backhand to the far the corner.
Yeah, that is correct. Usually on the right side of the court if you are facing the net you can lob right handers easier because down the line is to their backhand side and middle is at an angle where the cross court person has a backhand too
Also a pretty darn good video on how to DEFEND the lob.
Great video! Love the pauses and circling little things to notice (that I definitely would not have noticed)
Sweet. Glad you liked it!
I guess there’s also the desperation lob that allows you time to regroup. Hard to place it well but a bit deeper and with lots of height.
True, but that one I wouldn’t necessarily recommend haha
year of the twoey lob? everyone is happy
Love it!! There we go haha
2 handed backhand seems like it would hurt your range of motion. Extended reach is more effective.
I could see an argument if you have a split second on a volley and you are stretching with one hand or blocking directly in front of you. Everything else the range of motion doesn’t affect me and the benefits outweigh it. That being said everything is a personal preference
Thanks Connor, really good tips. ❤
Awesome to hear. Any time!
Awesome video bro great stuff. Also I order the Twoey hat just waiting until it says shipped 😂 I cant wait to rock the hat when it arrives it’s look so cool
Awesome thank you! Appreciate the support
Connor & Alex - this is probably one of the most useful and well-explained instructional videos I've seen in awhile. Definitely up there with some of Zane's videos in terms of clarity and usefulness. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Great to hear
This video worths to watch many times. Thank you, Connor. Master piece of advanced pickleball technique teaching.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My thoughts, exactly. Courts (at the Y) are closed for the weekend, but can't wait to get out Monday to try this. Until then, a lot of dry runs in the living room.
Heck ya! Get after it
Previous I was told about the "triangle effect" (like if I speed up straight it will come back at an angle or vice versa) which seems the opposite of follow the ball. Am I misunderstanding?
The triangle effect is similar to this but the essence of both is the ball is coming back in the direction you hit it probably at some form of angle
Where should you place your pointer finger on the grip? I struggle with wanting to cheat to a backhand grip at net as I feel I can recover on balls to my forehand easier, but I don’t think that is sound & I probably won’t get better that way
Your left pointer finger (assuming your right handed) I put it on the back of the paddle face and then my right hand is just wrapped around the paddle normally like a tennis forehand
At 1:44 you say if you're on the run you can take a step forward with your right foot. Does this mean if you're not on the run you shouldn't take that step? Do you always have your right foot in front when you hit this 2HBH or do you sometimes have your left foot forward?
I try and take a step forward any time I can it naturally allows me to get my kinetic chain involved but if I am on the dead sprint I will sometimes hit open stance where my left foot is in front of
THANK YOU! 🤩
I watched your game a while ago and what struck me was your sporting spirit and smiling through that game been a big fan since. thank you for being an inspiration sir
Thank you! Appreciate it
Chris Olsen from Pickleball Studio I’m sure would be willing to give you ideas on how to improve your videos. You have great content and advice but as mentioned in some of the other comments it would be awesome to have more camera angles for many reasons. I’m a fan and just wanting to see you succeed in all that you do.
Thanks
Great video in addition to your 2 hand bh video. I'm subscribed now.
Thanks for the sub!
if your opponent hits a topspin drive to your backhand, are you going to try to put topspin on it with your twoey or just kind of smack it? ive noticed when i try to reverse topspin i get less rpms probably just a skill issue lol
When someone hits topspin you get less rpms when you hit a topspin shot back but I don’t let their shot dictate if I’m hitting topspin back but it is something to be aware of for sure
Great explanation, Connor. It's easy to follow and I feel I can implement this into my game right away. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Let’s go💪
Majority of the videos about the drive shot (including pros) say you should hit it at 70% power but would you agree that there are times where pros like you just whack the ball super hard? Do you use eastern for FH drives at the baseline and switch to continental at the NVZ? What about your grip for drops? Not everyone has spacious courts, I wonder how do you pros return and deal with perfectly deep serves when you're playing on courts that's like separated by tennis nets our fence and you only have like at most 6ft of room form the baseline.
70% is great unless it’s a super high sitter you can’t miss. I use a little bit to the right of a continental on fh for right hand and conti for bh and same at NVZ. Deep serves it’s all about shortening the swing and overdoing the legs. Hope that helps
Thank you for this, the two-backhand is ridiculous. Two-Hand Poach Tips would be a nice video to see if you haven't done it already.
Great suggestion!
@@congarnett if you can or have the free time. Got any advice on my two-hand backhand or any obvious things you would change. I notice a large pull back with yours which is something I want to play around more with.
Great video Connor! Keep up the great work!
Thanks! Will do!
5:05 love the “heel toe” tip. Haven’t heard that from anyone else and that thought helps me remember to keep my weight going forward, especially on backhand.
Awesome, glad it’s helpful
Great stuff
Thanks!
Thank you Connor. Great video. Very helpful. I wonder if you can have video on return of serve. Thanks in advance. Your videos deserves repeat watch. Thanks a lot Connor.
Thank you! Great suggestion definitely will aim to have some videos covering that as well
Yes! Would love a return of serve video as well
Connor, out of all the pros you seem to have one of the best attitudes on court. I rarely see you frustrated or demoralized. As a viewer, I would love to know more about your perspective on competition, and what allows you to stay positive and present while you play.
Thank you and yeah will work to have something like that too
What shoes are those
KSwiss there. Still bouncing around though finding the shoes that last and work with my movement
@@congarnett well you make em look great. Love watching you play
@@congarnett I just picked up the Asics solution speed ff2s after bouncing around a while myself. It was hard to find a pair of lightweight shoes that were comfortable as well as durable as well. You should definitely give them a try.
Thanks!
YOU ARE NOT HITTING WITH YOUR LEGS!!!!! Other pros and instructors have said to stay low in the follow-through, to not use legs, which is what you actually do in the video. I slowed your video down and can easily see that you are stable when you hit and follow through the ball. Yet you are telling us to use our legs, use them to drive into and through the ball. Actually, some of the backhands you hit are while jumping up and jumping back. This video is confusing. Down thumb.
Using the legs means moving through the shot. The weight transfer through with the legs along with the hips and core is where the power comes from so yes to your point I am stable through the ball and I am not lifting which is what you are referring to
@@congarnett Just wanted to say you're really kind for responding gracefully to these crazy comments. Watching you play PPA at the Red Rock Open was one of the highlights of the event for me. Love your channel and great video as always. The swing path of 2 points of contact for aiming down the line is extremely helpful. Can't wait to watch your next pro event.
Thank you, I appreciate it. Yeah red rock was a fun tournament. See you at the next one
Nice but how big is the top spin. The paddle is rated to more than 2000 RPM, why can’t it be realized in the drive shot?
The drive shot if I am hitting through the court because it is a faster shot will naturally have a little less spin because the ball doesn’t stay on the paddle as long. It will still have spin though for sure and that is coming from the brush at the end (I.e. turning the wrist over right after content / brushing up the back of the ball) but some of the passing shots or slower drives you will see even more spin because you are going up the back of the ball even more. Hope that clarifies things
No disrespect but you need a better videographer and probably one or two more camera angles. It would be nice to see where the ball is going. At least cut to a wide angle. Great content, otherwise.
Thanks and yeah, completely makes sense and with each vid working on improving things like that. Always welcome the feedback
What the heck is the other person hitting with? Sounds like an aluminum baseball bat
I guess they might need to get a ProXR paddle
@@congarnett 🤣Valid
Right?!! I couldn’t help but envision Ben Johns using a frying pan on the other side much like a vid I saw awhile back.😂
That is a nice house! how much are they paying you on the PPA tour?!?
Thanks, yeah a friend’s spot. Super cool set up for sure
@@congarnett lol on another note - ever since I saw you a year ago with the 2 handed backhand, i’ve been developing mine. i now have the most versatile 2 handed backhand of anyone I’ve seen in this area 😊 . thank you for the inspiration!
@@khgriffi heck ya!
this is super helpful! thanks for all the quick concise tip videos :)
Of course. Glad it was helpful
Great stuff. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
