You are missing three crucial points - She stretches away left shoulder with racket takeback with relation to right hip as the movement starts - the power is generating from torso snaping back and closing the distance. Second generating power comes from extanding the roght shoulder and then at the hit snaping it back with upper back muscle - trapezoid I would think. And thirdly she uses the groundforce on a right pivoted leg to propell afromantioned motions, BTW she lacks the useful technique of high one handed backhand - she does it the ugly Mouratoglu way - the efficient way is this one th-cam.com/video/tEbGVa7mxqM/w-d-xo.html - Why I share this - easy - I love this shot - I think is being badly teached and learned - that's why people struggle. There is the reason why left batting MLB players are so efficient - thats basically the same motion - of course in tennis there is also a small supination from wrist.
@@questionmark7045 Well that is a bit of a surprise, I have the thumb on 3 and on 1 and that's for just my slice drive and she has it on 2 and between 1 and that's for her topspin drives...While I have it on 3 and 2 for my topspin drives. So it makes me wonder what her slice grip is. She more extreme than me. And yet I slice the ball through the court with the same skidding pace using with that flat eastern backhand grip. did And yes this is the big penetrating thin ball that these xtreme flat grips gives you because it keeps the ball deep. Instead of just looping balls that fall short and sit up in the court. And the ball clears the netcord by a few feet or a few inches sometimes with this grip. The ball just rockets all through the court and gets down the court fast and effortlessly . and takes people's time away and also jams them up with the super depth. . I think of Roger Federer when I see this type of Backhand. I find eastern grip is good for slice driving all the dirty low short balls and even clearing the netcord with super low balls. You can just pronate them back because of the coil and the swing produces the tight dipping spin for you to hop the ball quickly over the netcord and keep it down in the court. But I think with that extreme grip she uses doing topspin on the super low balls would be more harder to get the clearance...So switching to slice flat on a lower ball makes sense.
Justine has a very wide stance and she gets very low to the ground which enable her to come over the ball quicker (more of a pulling sensation) - if you watch her backhand in slow motion, you will notice that she tends to lean the front edge forward which is slightly more aggressive than the “block and brush” (push sensation) technique of your average one hander.
Great analysis : easy to understand and well explained, but copying it in practice is a different story. I particularly liked the comment that her top-spin backhand technique is fine for high balls, but that she uses slice for low balls. Make utter sense. 👍🎾👍
I've had a onehander my whole life. I see a lot of great analyses (including this one) about 1handers. But from my experience the open stance 1Her is what gets players all messed up and it almost never gets talked about. A lot of times you will not have time to step over with right foot (for a rightie) and you will still have to drive the ball open stance. That's a whole other part of the 1Her.
Again, Excellent Analysis! You really do have an eye for all of the details that are important in a stroke. To me, when I bring the racket back with that non-hitting hand, it actually feels like a "flick of the racket" in a way, and you get this extra racket head speed from it. I wouldn't teach it that way, but if you already have mastered all the other aspects of the one-handed backhand then there is this moment where the hitting arm starts to accelerate just before you release it with the non-hitting hand.
Great video and explanation of a beautiful one hander. Surprised to see how much she cups her wrist early in the take back. It seems to decrease during the swing and looks neutral at contact. Is that your recommended wrist progression? I have worked on keeping my wrist neutral throughout. Thanks
Ryan, I believe rec players let go of the nondominant hand too early because they want to go straight at the ball. Big circular drop and forward swing is very hard to time for them. I think that why it’s incredibly difficult to fix. Do you agree? I have a perfect drop with my left hand on the racket when I do shadow swings for instance but as soon as I start hitting balls my left hand leaves the racket too early. I heard Vic Braden once say ‘ one of the biggest issues in rec tennis is that they can’t get the racket drop under the ball’.
fantastic analysis thx. so beautiful elegant to play one handed backhand. i did it but now i am older and me knees are so painfull. in the WTA henin hardene or amelie mauresmu. beautiful technik. ATP stan the men etc.
a couple of things - 1. the index knuckle and the heal pad position actually don't matter. the pressure point is on the thumb knuckle. all good players push bevel #6. the position of the index knuckle just happens to be dependent on the grip size. 2. all the tour players release the racket head to the right during the follow thru, enabling a windshield wiping motion. your bh doesn't release the head, it's old school style maybe workable on grass, can't work today.... the racket path is a mirror image of the FH... see if you hit a FH, the racket head release counterclockwise right... the BH is a clockwise release.
more to point 1 above.. WTA players, typically with smaller hands, pushing #6 will appear to have more extreme grip by looking at the index knuckle... this is a wrong perception. Bigger ATP pros pushing the same #6 with bigger hands will just appear to be more neutral from the index knuckle position. But they are all hitting the same BH by pushing #6 with the thumb.
Excellent ! Do you think that, one day, a new BH will emerge that' brings the one hand even closer to the two hand ? Apart from releasing the free hand, a major difference seems to be that the one hander holds the throat of the racket whereas the double hander has both hands low on the grip.
The one hander uses the top hand on the throat for a “catapult” like move when you let go. You lose that if you hold onto the throat. For that reason, I don’t think players will hold onto the grip before releasing. Though, I may be wrong…
Yes she has beautiful technique. My arm usually stays straight once my non dom hand is in the slot. Looks like she took more after Stan. The way she leverages her hips as well. I don’t understand your comment about her not staying sideways. She did remain sideways all the way thru contact n that’s how it’s supposed to be. I don’t let go of the throat of my racket until it’s next to my side pocket exactly how she does it. Yes a lot of rec players let go too early. I just have trouble with heavy topspin deep baseline shots. Timing is key with a one hand bh but catching it on the rise is even more difficult. As of now I’m training my footwork on moving back to set up my backhand. It’s either that or learn to use a more extreme grip like her
I watched her against Sakkari a couple of days ago. 90% of her backhands were slice. It felt like every time she sliced, she was in trouble. Maybe her slice sits up a bit. She definetely needed to play more topspin backhands to keep Sakkari back. The topspin shot is not compact enough. She needs more time to play it.
@@Amtcboy True, but I think Graff's slice was better. It shot through, while Diane's sits up a little bit. Almost like Tsitsipas's slice compared to Dimitrov's (Graff).
Yes. I would put Justine's one-hander right at the top of the list. Honorable mentions would be Sabatini, Mandlikova, Maresmo, and Martinez....all of which had sublime backhands.
Why there always a douche bag like you in every video clip comments, instead of appreciation of this player, belittle her and big up another player? Does that give you a feeling of superiority & knowledge? Does the narcissist in you need affirmation by others?
Greetings Ryan long time no text busy learner. Is Ms Perry only using that extreme grip JUST for high balls to her backhand side? I agree her grace and fluidity are startling similar remnants to Justine Henin. That extreme a grip gets me into predictable trouble on an average height backhand! Way to much brushing up on back of the ball topspin. Hmm maybe I answered my own question there. Anyhow a joy to watch, and really excited if Ms Perry gets to play under the bright lights as that extreme grip requires exquisite timing. So that side point didn't go unnoticed. Excellent video take care. Knew I was in for a good one by the tone of your voice at opening. Definitely share your enthusiasm 👍👍😎😎
It’s nice technique. I think techniques are a little subjective but it’s nice nevertheless. What I would say is that with such and extreme grip, the high ball can be a problem. A couple of the shots she hits on the higher bounce her chin lifts as she’s looking for the ball after contact. That has a tendency to go high and long. It’s quite a similar technique to Stans.
This great backhand needs a very large preparation , to coil so much means the student needs to be very early, or she is going to be late. I like the comment when she steps foward the racketface drops. Before accelerating foreward though the ball.
Not at all... is more like federer.. Stan came tô The striking using more rotation .. i dont like tô teach begginers with thia tecnique.. Rogers or kuerten hás a more clean and didatic movment
No, Stan opens up a bit while he is striking the ball. Opening up a bit makes more sense to me, as it's using more of the body parts to get power, rather than using just the arm. Also opening up a bit makes you more ready for the next shot.
@@marykistnen6837 .. the arm is enough to send the ball anywere ... when you keep your arm stiffed ( the most you can) . and "opening" you lose all accuracy ;) keep hips if you can but mainly shoulders in line all the way , you will reach any target ( DTL) with an extrem accuracy :)
Diane Parry has a gorgeous backhand, BUT she seems unable to use it as a weapon. I have watched a LOT of her matches and she can't seem to win a lot of points with her topspin backhand. Whenever I watch Diane Parry I always think she should get together with Stan Wawrinka to get some pointers on how to actually WIN points with her ohbh. I love Diane Parry and I keep rooting for her!
Heel pad of her hand is on bevel 6. If you’re teaching eastern BH grip as index knuckle and heel pad on the same bevel or close, that’s an extremely weak grip and the wrong angle. Racquet won’t be supported or stable . It’s not the same angle as a FH grip. The racquet should be almost perpendicular to the forearm, almost like holding a bicycle handle

Name one important point mentioned here? Most of this was just style, although some of this style can be helpful. But it missed all the most Key checkpoints like SLot entry, Slot, setting the rack face and how to finish "up, thru, and across" the contact. Even makes a negative comment about what he calls sidespin that is really a type of Diagonal Topspin the is so important to the strongest shots..
Yes, but i took it to mean really for both sexes, as that way there is no discrimination afterall 😁. Afterall, in Real/Royal Tennis, (which is the original game of tennis) the female world champion Claire Fahey plays not only in the women’s draw but as well the men’s, as she is that good 😁
Its the best backhand. No need to even categories it as a one hander. Thats my problem woth USA and Australia. If its a two hander you say wow great backhand. If ots a one hander its like oh that must be the best one hander. The reality is one handers are really amazing
Your just analyzing one shot. The reason she had limited upper body rotation was because that shot was hit down the line. You make some good points but also a lot of jibber jabber in my opinion.
In 2003, John McEnroe said she had the best one-handed backhand in all of tennis during that time period. Another commentator then tried to clarify John’s comment and said, “You mean on the womens’ side?” John then said, “No, all of tennis.”
Stop micro analyzing every second of a swing if a player has a semblance of natural ability will adapt to strokes almost immediately. If not, they have no athletic ability. You cannot micro analyze every second of a stoke. You either have it or you don’t.
@@2MinuteTennis given that your video discussing the 1hbh is excellent. Anyone that promotes a 1hbh is aces. It’s a rare art form and takes more athletic ability to perform than the entire 2hbh player possess. 😊⭐️⭐️👍
lol i everytime i have to cringe when i hear Americans pronouncing foreign names. She is french you know? Not american, english, or from any other engish speaking country..... And in terms of her BH. Well she is top 60 which is good. Most likely won't crush into the absolute top as a one hander. Still very young though and a pleasure to watch in terms of variety and aesthetics unlike all the annoyingly grunting women, using the same monotone game, crushing the ball with 2 hands...
I don't like her backhand. Although her early preparation and shot are good and straight hand is real advantage, her foot work is horrible. She is going not forward but up and her front leg show this very clearly. Such shot has spun but no power. Also she hits from closed stand and it is no-no for me and any other player who is right handed and has dominent left eye. So I can't recommend to copy her shot, it is good for her if she has dominant right eye, but not good for other player. And she need to bring weight on her front foot early and go forward not up.
They just gotta stop it already. One-hander is pretty much obsolete now. It’s nothing more than a rare spectacle; there are other ways to hit better from the other side.
Tell me a player who is 100% comfortable with their one hander other than Gasquet. Dimitrov, Federer, this lady, even Wawrinka resort to slice so much in actual match play.
@@jessetwumboafo Theim had no feel on his one handed backhand - arm too straight and he just muscled the ball. He's just about to retire now after not being able to get back to previous form after injury.

For those who remember....this is a reincarnation of Justine Henin -....
Justine Henin was better ❤
I’ve never seen a better backhand than Justine’s on the WTA.
Carla Suarez Navarro was better, not a better player but better backhand
Disagree here
Perry is in supreme form with her backhand much better than Henin.

This is the greatest practice backhand. In matches she uses a slice backhand and rarely hits a powerful driving backhand.
This very closed stance.. she must be right eye as dominant right?
No way to tell…
Fed didn't have a straight arm on his BH which was one of the best in the game at his prime‼
You are correct.

Still very young though and a pleasure to watch in terms of variety and aesthetics unlike all the annoyingly grunting women, using the same monotone game, crushing the ball with 2 hands...
I’m sure I would cringe hearing you pronounce my name.
I don't like her backhand. Although her early preparation and shot are good and straight hand is real advantage, her foot work is horrible. She is going not forward but up and her front leg show this very clearly. Such shot has spun but no power. Also she hits from closed stand and it is no-no for me and any other player who is right handed and has dominent left eye. So I can't recommend to copy her shot, it is good for her if she has dominant right eye, but not good for other player. And she need to bring weight on her front foot early and go forward not up.
Too much talking. I rather watch a demo with very little talking.
How to point out everything totally irrelevant....
Haha
I never see Dianne Parry play
They just gotta stop it already. One-hander is pretty much obsolete now. It’s nothing more than a rare spectacle; there are other ways to hit better from the other side.
Who is “they”?
Tell me a player who is 100% comfortable with their one hander other than Gasquet. Dimitrov, Federer, this lady, even Wawrinka resort to slice so much in actual match play.
Thanks for watching!
I would say Dimitrov is comfortable…as is Theim….unlike Federer or worse yet, Tsitsipas
@@jessetwumboafo Theim had no feel on his one handed backhand - arm too straight and he just muscled the ball. He's just about to retire now after not being able to get back to previous form after injury.
Stan uses the same grip.
Thiem too I think
Stan uses bevel between 1-2. The video is showing her grip like 8-1
