Tennis Backhand Ball Machine Drill

www.fuzzyyellowballs.com This ball machine drill will help you work on your tennis backhand directional control. I’ve set up cones that I’m aiming for. First, I hit backhands crosscourt. Second, I hit backhands down the line. Finally, I alternate between crosscourt and down the line backhands. This drill is also great exercise great for developing proper footwork.

    Is there HIP rotation in backhand as much as there is in forehand. I always felt backhand has less hip rotation than forehand. Will seems to be hitting with full rotation.

    Seems to be quite a good drill. The video is a little bit long though, you could have shown it in half the time.
    Nevertheless: I really like your channel, keep on going!

    body mechanics. its simply becoz ur elbow cant bend backward and wrap around your body.

    I always thought Will hit a one-handed, I use the 2-handed myself too, I’ve tried to learn both.
    To me, 2-handed is more stable and consistently powerful as if u try to power a 1handed it takes a lot more focus to level your arm and easier to have elbow injuries

  12. Babolat3216 says:

    Mine’s like… At the baseline, I have a more solid flatter steadier backhand and my forehand hits heavy topspin coz it’s western. It’s like my backhand receives faster balls better than my forehand lol. :D

  13. richyban says:

    Me too! but my forehand is a lot more consistent.. at times when the ball is in the right place on my backhand side I can kill it :P haha

  14. Babolat3216 says:

    For some reason I have a better backhand than my forehand but I use my forehand more. :| Does anybody feel the same way? lol

  15. epikcyne says:

    Wow your backhand is so consistent. Good work

  16. Rafasgrl says:

    the thing im impressed on, is that u didnt even touch the net! spin makes the backhand a whole lot easier!

  22. TimeFreeze1 says:

    I’ve wondered, the windshield wiper forehand has a followthrough to the side, right? Why isn’t there a backhand like that?

  23. Dinhding says:

  24. FYB2007 says:
