How to Hit an Explosive Backhand Tutorial from a Pro 

I watched this video and now my driver's license says my name is Marat Safin

After this video I am running a round my forehand to hit backhands 🔥

Really good. 73yo 4.5 player who now has broken right humerus, out for 3 months. Will work on my left hand to develop a 2 handed backhand: best tutorial!! Thanks

Grisha you are the best youtuber i ever watched

i switched from one hand to two handed backhand like 3 years ago and now my two hand is a solid weapon/shot! i've actually been messing around recently and hitting my one handed backhand again for fun and am surprised i can switch between the both of them during a rally. but no, i would never go back to a one handed backhand, two handed backhand master race ;)

Yes more of of this content please and more about tours :)

Just wanted to confirm that tip no3 is the most important one for sure. Coaches sometimes start with too much focus on arms and even hands and wrists in order to create spiny two handed backhand, which is very good longterm but its the next step and not the start. Fix your arms and focus on your body rotation, even exagarate and stiffen your arms and wrists so that only body can do the work. Once you feel that your backhans is rock solid stable, implement your wrist motions slowly but now when you do it, your body will still be doing the work and you wont be just "scratching" the ball. Trust Grisha on this one, tip 3 is by far the most important for beginers!

Good stuff! The last years I was looping the racquet á la Agassi but it was erratic although backhand used to be my strongest strike. Half a year ago I wen’t back to the basics (since age has made me stiffer), i.e. the take-back you’re showing, and my backhand immediately improved. Keep it simple. Next it’d be great to see serve tips, both first and second serves. If possible it’d be great with slow motion clips.

Great tutorial! I can't wait to see the next one in another two years 🫶

These are really helpful tips--they describe what makes a backhand feel more "natural." My forehand comes easy to me but my backhand has always confused me. Your descriptions of when to think about each hand, and when not to, are helpful.

GRISHAAAAAAAA is backkk! You have a beautiful backhand! When I want to improve my backhand, I watch Grisha, not Novak!

Not sure what's better, the tips or the creative camera angles

I asked for this, because your backhand is so good. I will implement these great tips. Thank you.

The video I didn't know I was hoping for. I've noticed that your takeback is really simple, and I've sometimes considered adopting that approach, so I'm glad you explained your rationale behind it!

Make one for FH too

Grisha, i dont usually comment but this is top tier tennis content, you are a lifesaver!

Really nice and FRESH approach to using the double backhand. I allways struggled with my backhand. Since I tried to imitate Kyrgios doubleshanded backhand it works way better than the "Let the racket drop bla bla " approach. Im not saying I can hit a backhand like Kyrgios but it is more relaxed for me now and I play more intuitive and that makes me more focused on where to aim the ball instead of constantly thinking HOW to hit a proper backhand. Thanks for the other tips!!

Thanx! I'll try on next session!

i used all his tips and i hit more backhand winner than before thanks man

Fantastic tips! This is where I have been focusing lately as well!

Great vid grisha 🔥

Thanks, I needed this lol

Nice tips ✊🏻 sometimes I really need a reminder that I play tennis with my body not only with my arms Thank you!

thank you coach

What racquet is that!?! A possible switch or just having some fun with something different?

Excellent lesson! 🎾✍️📚👨‍🏫💯 Appreciate!! 🙏

loved it

Awesome tutorial! I've been wanting to hit my backhand more like how you do for a while now. This definitely will help! I would ask for a forehand one next, but maybe we should leave that one to Kuzey 😂

Nice tips!

Imo talent is underlooked when It comes to a persons' better side. I just always felt my backhand is a killer and my forehand sucks for my entire tennis jorney and no coaching ever changed that

Really interesting. For a few months now, I've been feeling my backhand to be kinda "off", I just don't feel at ease playing it, altough I don't make that many mistakes using it. Will try to apply these tips.

Спасибо большое за видео, теперь у Хуана наконец-то сядет слева!

This is great. I’m such a typical American, great forehand, joke backhand

I struggle with the contact point on my backhand. Will try to simplify the backswing like you suggested.

Omg Grisha, you yourself would benefit most from backhand lesson.

Great video! I'm going to try a two hander now. Any chance you do a video for a one hander to?

As a more advanced player but with a weak two hander I found this very useful, thanks.

Nice racket 🤩 When are you playing your next tournament? And more tutorial please... Maybe forehand 😆 I know the first thing you will say is your forehand is not that great but ofcourse it's much superior than us

Would you do a bideo on return of serve especially returnign fast serves and returning slice out wide and how it digferes in groundstrokes for how to move to ball

Here are the tips with some added notes I would recommend 1. Hit the ball in front and from hip to under shoulder level(weight always forward) 2. Make the backswing simple (turn your torso first) 3. Use your body (the follow through doesn't mean just your arm, it means follow through with your entire body towards the shot) 4. Forget about your dominant arm (the dominant arm needs to relax so you can get the racquet lag) 5. Use your non-dominant arm for micro adjustments and flat shots 6. Work on your wrist movements for shorter court shots. 7. Use your backhand the right way

Гриша, я вижу - ты в Мегаспорте ролик записал ) - Я там больше 10 лет играю и два дня назад провел матч именно на том корте, на котором ты записываешь ролик, корт №5 ))) Надо было пересечься ))

Yeah man

Isn’t the dominant arm the left arm with which you use the wrist so to say with the lag and snap and the front right arm is for guiding the ball. Loved your video. Slightly confused with this point though.

Больше уроков! Хороших и разных!

Dude, what shorts are you wearing 👌 oh and nice backhand 💥

Cool!! I’ve admired your backhand and this will help. But what’s the deal: Prestige Pro now? Or Gravity Pro? Did you switch? Why? I like both but settled on the Gravity Pro.

Great lesson, but I'm sticking with my one-handed backhand.

nice video forehand next???

How much racquet lag in the 2-hander? (I got a one-hander so this is more curiosity)

That Youtek IG Prestige MP LTD 25th Anniversary is sexy a.f, oh and your backhand :-)

Boom

Thanks Grisha. Don’t forget to rest & take vacation. you look like could use a day off or two

What racket is that also what strings

Can we have video for one handed back hand ❤

awesome, why do some players say it's a pull with the right and a push with the left though?

I have been told to have space between both hands and also told to have them touching. Any advantage to one or just personal preference?

me: YAY GLAD UPLOAD me 5 seconds late: oh a 2 handed backhand :c Please make a forehand video and I will give you a cookie

Interesting how the racquet just points up from you moving your body into the shot 2:20

What racquet is he using now?

What racquet is this?

Роскошно!

DId grisha change rackets?

New Prestige?

Are you in Moscow? For how long more?

I'm straight but this man has something special makes me doubt my sexuality
