on one hand backhand angle should you still be in a closed stance and rely on hitting outside of ball , steeper swingpath and hitting earlier or should you open front foot a little bit almost in semi open stance
With a one-handed backhand use a closed stance and focus on where you want to make contact on the ball. You have a full range of motion with a one-hander and it won't affect your swing path (unlike on a two-hander).
amazing... but help us to know more about Backhand while running... What I mean is all this works when standing but when chasing or running behind ball .... how and what can we do ...
It seems like a OHB could generate a bit more topspin than a THB on this shot. (Can you and Will Hamilton challenge Jeff Salzenstien and Ian Westermann to a dbls match??)
What a coach!!! Thanks for all the really great videos.
Thanks TNT!
Your videos are always helpful 👍👏👏
Happy to help Sridhar!
Coach - would it be wise to feel like you’re ‘leading with the edge’ on the one hander? A bit like forehand. I tried it and got more control thanks
Yes slightly leading with edge, depending on your grip.

Everything still applies, it's just more difficult. Contact point, racket speed, racket path--all the same.
Love it

Yes, a one-handed backhand can generally generate more spin than a two-hander. Also I'd be the only righty on the court.
What stick are you using? An old Head Radical?
Nick Of Leicester newest radical
Yep it's actually the newest Radical out...different color scheme but similar feel.
A-ha. One time I hit it accidentally and couldn't figure out how I did it. Now I get it. 😁 Thanks, coach.
Well done :)
And two handed??
Same principles...will be harder to generate the same amount of spin, but you can even execute that "flick" using the non-dominant hand in moderation.
