Nadim, you are the man! Your repeated emphasis on technique and how it contributes to successful direction and depth of the one-handed backhand is invaluable.
Perfect explanation again! 👌 I think people watch bh swings of say Wawrinka and get confused because his finsh appears very open and they aim for that position, not understanding that during the fundamental part of the swing up until contact he is sideways and the opening up is because he swings very fast with an extention
Great advise a little confusing some of the advice on the non dominant hand going back after the shot at the slot position on you tube I give this idea a go 👍
Watching Wawrinka, Thiem etc they appear to use more body rotation from the slot to contact, as opposed to arm only as you demonstrate. You stay sideways and swing the arm, no further body rotation. They appear to maintain the arm/body relationship, with very little movement at the shoulder; it is body rotation that brings the racket forward, right through contact, then the arm hinges at the shoulder. Is this a correct interpretation, or have I misunderstood what the pros do?
Some pros like Thiem and Wawrinka do, others like Roger or Tsisipas don't. Now you can judge who has better backhands 🥴 I'll use this tips only for more controlled shots.
Hi Nadim, I noticed the head of the racket is not directed down just before you hit the ball. Is this on purpose? I was always thinking it should be directed down. Best, Kamil
The top ATP pro 1HBs DO NOT do this lifting action that you keep demonstrating with your body. They do not lift up during the 1HB at all until AFTER the ball has been struck.
Great explanation of the non hitting hand prep. Finally someone gave me a clear understanding of what to do. Thank you.
Golden nuggets of tennis wisdom!

excellent explanation and very helpful, particularly with the rotation balanced by the behaviour of the non-dominant arm
Nadim is the best - tips always well rounded and complete; always a lot to think about; thank you OTI…!
Thanks! I will try this. Pros tends to take back the racket vertically. Your take back the racket was diagonal and then drop it horizontally.
Well, you did it again Nadim. Direct, to the point, and well explained. Keep up these excellent videos!
Left arm tip more concise and understandable than any I have heard. Thanks!!🎉👍🏻
Spot on analysis Nadim...💥🎾😃 Thank you.
Perfect explanation again! 👌

Great tips explained in simple clear manner. Thanks
Veyr interesting, I have been told to use the non racquet arm, but not back and low as you show here. Will certainly try this soon. Thanks!
Very well explained with toal clarity. 👍
Thank you Nadiv, , it helps me a lot. Your arm is guiding the racquet --
final position is like an umpire in baseball doing the SAFE sign. Better analogy!!!
Your tips are great! Thanks for improving my game.
Thank you Nadiv, Great video!
Fantastic thank you

Good thanks for clearing up some one handed bh myth.
Thanks
What grip to be used

Очень красивая техника! 👋👍

At the same time the tip could help to gain more control but not make control to a one-handed backhand
Reminds me of Dominic Theim...
