Thank you so much for your kind comment! Yes, it does take time to make these instructional videos, but I really enjoy it! Take care and stay tuned to PPT! Thanks, John
John and Randy, thanks for this master class. I`ve been playing for almost 20 years and last month my little boy @ age of 16 started to have tennis class (for my delighted, by the way...). As I have an one-hand BackHand(BH) and I feel like helping him with his 2-handed BH, I was looking for an instructional video on that subject and for my big surprise I received your last e-mail sooner. Believe me: It was just exactly what I was looking for! Anyway, I have taken some notes and will put them in practice with him next time we step on the court. I am really sure that those steps will transform his BH and his confidence as well. So, one more time, many thanks! Be safer! Yours, Agnaldo.
@@PerformancePlusTennis Agreed, John. I will practice with him this week and let you know about his progress soon. Thanks for your interest and support. Yours, Agnaldo. :)
Eeexcellet video! Thank you very much! What I value the most: - Comfortable side distance, much closer than a lefty fh - Contact in front of the front leg. - Extension Over the extension, Agassi, Rafa, and Nalbandian, are more left arm dominant. and extend more with the left arm. Novak extends a lot but with both arms. It seems to me that makes him follow through giving a straight up and down topspin, giving him more prediction of the shot.
John, I've watched several of your videos now and really love your laid back teaching style and the way you communicate key points simply and effectively. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Rick Macci has nothing on you! Quick question, what grip do you prefer players use for the non-dominant hand?
Hi John. This video has been helpful but wanted to make sure you need to put your left foot (if right handed) behind your right when initiating the unit turn correct? Think I’ve been just doing the unit turn without that and I feel constricted and miss the ball. Thanks!
Hi, Thanks for the feedback and question. For a neutral stance the left foot would be behind the right so you alignment is perpendicular to the target. There is also the semi-open and open stances (although less ideal for most) which place the left/ back foot in different positions in relation to the right. I hope this provides clarity. Best, John
Hey John! Is it ok to have a two-handed backhand when I dont have enough time(for example with serve-returns)? Or should I find out a way to always let my one-handed backhand work?
Hi and thanks for your great question. When it comes to returning serve, do what you need to get into the point. You can block with one hand like we see Federer do, or slice, or use two-hands if that works for you. Break once and hold keep holding serve...thanks, John

Quick question, what grip do you prefer players use for the non-dominant hand?
Hi Sean, Thanks for your kind comments and support! The grip I recommend for the non-dominant hand is the eastern forehand grip. Kindly, John
@@PerformancePlusTennis John, thanks for replying but you've left me with a cliffhanger as the last part of your reply is missing!
Sean Coppom sorry about that! I just completed the statement. Make it a great day!
You make me almost wish I had a 2-handed backhand. Only almost!
Thanks mr coach
You are welcome, Felicien! Kindly, John

Hi Jason, Thank you! Let me know when you come to CA! Kindly, John
