Honestly bro you’re putting out priceless information here and I can’t thank you enough. I’ve had a one hander since I was a kid and I’ve always loved to work on it and make it stronger. I’ve watched a bunch of other coaches try and teach the mechanics of it; by far your videos have been the most helpful.
You are the best by far 👍👍👌👌🙏🏻🙏🏻. I watch plenty video about the one handed backhand, i finally understood how to proceed . so impatient to improve now in the good way. Thanks a million.
Thanks for the informative breakdown. Does the racquet head drop occur naturally (unforced) due to gravity like the pad the dog in forehand, or it is forced to drop by the non-dominant hand? I am playing one-handed backhand, and I used the non-dominant hand to force it, but keep hearing people say it is dropped naturally (unforced). What's your opinion on this?
One of the best one handed backhand channels. Only thing I do differently is keep a straight arm throughout the entire swing. And I tend to pull back on the racket with the non-hitting hard a little before releasing it to get a little extra pop/power on the ball. Most of the one handers I play with hit at least 50% slices and chips back. There's a time and a place for this but to me it seems like a bad habit because it often leads to playing too cautious and safe. So I keep in mind that at least 70% of my backhands have to be topspin backhands. If I don't, I believe it becomes a liability rather than a weapon.
well said ive been hitting it almost 90% recently, i dont mind taking some losses at the club if it helps me in the long run, so much of the one hander is reps and getting that muscle memory down, when struck well it certainly can be a weapon
Well done. Articulated and precise. Almost too much for the average club player but very easy to understand for better players. The 10.000 hr. rule comes to mind here. Keep up the great work little brother.
Awesome instructions as always and wanted to thank you for all the content you keep giving us, the tennis lovers! Wanted to ask you a few things, about mechanics and grip as well. Do you spread the fingers in the grip? I know there are several ways to do this, spread with the trigger finger and more like a motorcycle way to do it without spreading them, which one would you recommend? Also, are you relaxing your wrist through the shot or just after you hit it? Because if you relax the wrist the racquet would drop to his head, a bit as the forehand does, and since i see you explain we should keep the angle at 90°, I don't see that happening. Thanks again, and regards from Argentina!
For the ball feeding from the slinger machine to not get stuck I applied the "Professional-Grade Moldable Plastic Pellets by Polly Plastics" from amazon. I applied it on top of the rotating cross panel. I shaped the mold to have four vertically crossed mold then placed it on top of the crossed panel and have placed a glue to adhere permanently. This will help fix the issue of the ball sometimes not launching and instead will keep a regular steady feed flow. On the dial section for adjusting the ball height from the launch pad I applied a white "Fine Paint Marker for Rock Painting-Stone, Ceramic, Metal, Glass, Wood,Set of 6 Paint Pens High Volume Ink High Volume Ink for DIY Craft" from Amazon. I applied the white marker on the etched black line marker for better visibility, even from a distance. On the opening of the bag from the top entrance to place the racket I placed an elastic fiber string crosswise (made two holes on each side with a heated pointy metal) and that is where I hang my towel. There's more but this is enough for now. Thanks for letting me share.
@Tennis Doctor Hi would like to ask you or someone who understands, to explain one thing to me, I have been playing tennis professionally and I have been training it for two years, let's say I have been playing recreationally, I play with Babolat Pure Drive 315 g, I have been reading and watching about rackets for a long time and I'm thinking of switching to Head, because I'm missing that kind of control in the exchanges, and now I'm really undecided between Gravity pro or Speed pro,or some other racket? so I'm interested in the opinion of which racket might be better suited? please can i get an answer?
I took a racket and try to maintain letter L on contact point but it is almost impossible to hit the ball with that position of ancle especially when hitting short balls. Can you explain more detailed abot that?
Do you think you could ever post your matchplay in maybe a tournament or just a friendly match? i feel like it would be very entertaining, as well as educational
1. pros DONT keep the L during the whole swing !!!! at contact it has already changed and at the finish ( the arm pointing to the front like youre showing ) its almost in line with the arm ( maybe at a 25 degree angle ) or let say that the wrist went from radial deviation ( your L which is suposed to be that 90 degree angle ) to ulnar deviation ( my 25 degree angle )even you have it :):) 2. in the preparation the front shoulder closes ( ISR ) and in the swing the front shoulder opens ( ESR ) you just need to understand the difference between to open the shoulder and turn the body open.
Dear Sheldon of Tennis, You put so many aspects in your video, this is less for beginners, more for discussion. Some aspects are right, some worth to discuss it, some would other people see in a different way. Some things could be difficult to handle, but are worth the effort. One thing personally for You. Work on a wider base. On your demonstration on the begin of the video one can see that you are not in balance. Sorry for the criticism. I think your video tells many points that are worth it to look after or discuss, if one is a more advanced player. Best regards, Martin
Whoever follows long time TV Tennis week after week year after year knows for sure that Tsitsipas backhand is one of the less unstable, reliable and full of unforced errors. He's lost many matches even being in the lead "thanks" to that stroke. Looks maybe kind of stylish but in the end is a ship in course of sinking.... Tsisipas knows it and so do we.

This is such a wonderful and priceless tutorial with step by step to understand how one handed backhand works exactly. Thank you.
I Will work on this tips. Very informative and w/ proper motion. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for using greatbase system. Solid technical foundation they have, glad you have found some use of it
I found the video most helpful for beginners. It really make a difference if you fully understand what he was saying.

Thanks !!!
When you turn , how much do you use your wrist? And when and how do you roll the ball?
No wrist rolling at all, that would be incorrect teaching.
I took a racket and try to maintain letter L on contact point but it is almost impossible to hit the ball with that position of ancle especially when hitting short balls. Can you explain more detailed abot that?
Here on a link you can see that hand of RF is absolutelly more straight at contact point

Love the Texas gun analogy. Thanks for the insight and the laugh
What about the grip? You hold it more tight than the forehand or super loose?
Always super loose on everything
@@Tennisdoctorofficial Volleys, too?🤔
@@watcher687 if ball comes fast/ heavy you better firm the grip..
I need a coach like you, why are they so hard to find?
Can we get more videos on one handed back hand ❤
Do you think you could ever post your matchplay in maybe a tournament or just a friendly match? i feel like it would be very entertaining, as well as educational
Yes, in time
amazing athlete
good stuff
Left us on a cliffhanger
what racquet do you use?
Wilson Pro Staff RF Autograph 97 V13
@@Tennisdoctorofficialwhat strings are you using? I haven’t found a good set for this racket.
Hey doc! Would you do a video for high balls with a one handed back hand?? That's been my kryptonite for ever
yes, it's already been filmed
wow. best video ever🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰🥰

Was that a Texas MLK reference? Who else got shot on a balcony 😢
You're not a good teacher.. you always talk but you did not show us more of how to do it..
Whoever follows long time TV Tennis week after week year after year knows for sure that Tsitsipas backhand is one of the less unstable, reliable and full of unforced errors.
He's lost many matches even being in the lead "thanks" to that stroke.
Looks maybe kind of stylish but in the end is a ship in course of sinking.... Tsisipas knows it and so do we.
He can improve a lot his BH, and then moves to a even topper ranking..
Very boring and long bla... bla... bla... about nothing.
Kamala is ruining everyone's experiences on youtube. omg
Good instructions....🫡
