I'm happy that this video, like all videos of past years, perfectly shows that at all times talented people played the SAME! Or rather, they used the same principles, which did not disappear anywhere and could not disappear. Of course, a small adjustment and greater opportunities were provided by the use of new materials for the tennis racket and an increased size of its head.
Here's a curious little tidbit. When the men hit the forehand, during the backswing the racquet stays on the right side of their body, without breaking the plane. When the lady hit her forehand, her backswing was longer, breaking the plane of the body and winding up on her left side. This is the 40s equivalent to an ATP and a WTA forehand, respectively.
Where's the same video only on Sehgal TV? Has it gone out of favor? Not that I value my own comments or anything. If 1hbh drive is losing its considerable power it's probably because the single roll in it (I edited out Don Budge's own backward roll first-- too cumbersome for this geezer to handle) is toward the net rather than to the outside. Forward arm action must swing outside to a ball that is wholeheartedly separated from your core. A Don Budge type backhand, very common for a whole generation, relies on two things for optimum result: 1) the leverage of large separation and 2) added pace from taking ball on the rise.
Budge's backhand is the same as Ken Rosewall's, who was generally considered to have the best backhand of all time, and a one handed version of Jimmy Connor's, who is generally considered to have the best two handed backhand.
It is absolutely nothing like rosewall’s except that they both hit through the ball quite flat. Rosewall coming through and down for underspin whirl budge goes flat through and slightly up for a touch of topspin. You must be the only dullard who’s ever thought a slice backhand and a topspin/flat backhand were exactly the same. When jimmy slices his backhand with a touch of backspin (and sometimes side spin) did you think it was exactly the same as when he hit it with a touch of topspin? 😂😂😂😂

Many of the same principles still apply today. Well done Mr. Budge
And many don't. A comparison with a Stan Wawrinka backhand is insructive.
All of them
I enjoy watching this.,❤ 🎾
Classic!
Fabulous!
