Learn The 5 Steps To The Perfect Two-handed Backhand. 

The concept of “churning or stirring” has dramatically improved my backhand. This channel consistently provides the best and most valuable instruction on RU-vid.

Absolute best two handed backhand instructional video I've seen on youtube to date. Excellent analogies. You precisely elaborated on the segment of the stroke that other instructional videos miss. That is, from backswing to contact.

This is really the best two-handed backhand tutorial I have seen in RU-vid.🎉🎉

The best double handed backhand video out there, it’s now my best shot!

omgoodnessgracious... the quick grip switch trick🙏🏽and the footwork! THIS ALL the basics in 1 concentrated dose

Your “stir the pot” analogy is eye opening.... lol! Gonna give it a try!!

I’ve watched loads of videos (all good), but your breakdown is fantastic. The stir, calf rest bit in particular is diagnostically what I was not getting right! Legend! 👍

awesome video! you absolutely changed my backhand. I was struggling with my backhand for a long time and your cues helped me make the necessary adjustments to make my motion more fluid to add consistency and power! I love how you simplify everything and break it down into mini shadow swings. What did it for me in particular was the 'turn the knee' portion. It helped be a lot more interconnected and fluid and focus less on my arms. I've watched no less that 30 of your videos since. keep up the great work!

awesome I love the stirring and touching the calf 👏

Fantastic explanation and tips Kevin! I started playing in earnest a little under two years ago and just now finally, finally come to the realization that you have to play on the forefoot ALL THE TIME to play good tennis. Now "turn the knee" becomes possible and things just start to click. Crazy how interconnected this is but it takes time and commitment to bring it all together. Now I get the sense of finally playing downhill instead of feeling like a big lummox out there moving around like a sleestak mid snow storm. Great stuff!

Love this guy

I like his humor and breaking it down to simple steps.

Best tennis channel hands town. Natural presenter with a great grasp on the bio-mechanics which I have found invaluable. Thanks and keep up the great content.

Brilliant video on so many levels. I love the concept of stirring because it's rhythmic and slow and captures how the timing works. So different from "take the racket back right away" or "you can never prepare too early", which both completely kill timing and coiling. Rest on the calf is so good for getting the motion of the racket head drop, which you also see all the pros doing. And turning the knee to get to contact - wow that is brilliant. That simple move really aids in getting the shoulders and racket to come around and forward. If you look at a slow motion video of Djokovic's backhand you can see all of this. I had never heard any of these before but I'm going to be using this as a framework from now on. Amazing work from Kevin, as always.

Thank you so much. I have now a competitive and reliable backhand. Best of all, I got it for free. I follow a lot of tennis instruction on RU-vid and you are my favorite coach. Thanks again.

Needed this!

Nice instructional video! Thank you so much

Dang. That flashlight advice added A LOT of power to my backhand.

Great detail and mentions a lot of subtle but important things others forget.

I have seen a lot of backhand and tennis teaching videos on RU-vid. Yours I have to say are the best imo. They all explain different ways what to do with the arm and upper body and you are the only coach that focus on the footwork as well. And In your other videos too.

Many, many thanks. Just what I needed, to make sure how it all is supposed to be and what shadow training to do, to progress and get more stable on the court. Our grownup chaotic class just moved past it too fast for me to grasp what exactly is the right way to do things and this has left me questioning every move I make. That's what you get when you are a bit scatterbrain and have previous bad habits, that you can fall back as a safety net.

Excellent video, this has really helped me clear my doubts.

Great tips. I learned some tips!!!

Thanks for the great lesson.

The best video lesson on 2 handed backhand ..great job

Great teacher!

Great tips Thanks

Great video I like how you prepare. I have hard time switching from forehand to backhand two hand

Great video!

Your video on forehand changed my life. I hope this will help too!

Awesome breakdown with great analogies!

Very detailed explanation. Thanks

Brilliant young man. I love this guy, and his approach to instruction. The manner in which he explains and demonstrates the loop, or "stirring the pot", starting at around 6:30, is extremely helpful.

I am always on my forehand grip in my ready position and struggling to adjust when hitting backhand.. this tip is very helpful. Thank you for this video.

nice analogy with the rollercoster tic tic tic tic

Thanks coach I follow you from France

Good explanation as alwayss!! Keep up the good content!

i bet you are a good trainer. i saw many videos about backhand. this is very good video , thank you

Orion is great! I love Kings Island and all the other Cedar Fair parks!

Good video one thing I feel that is key is to step into the ball with opposite leg. This was critical for me to ensure good timing and balance.

Nice video. Interesting that I found that taking the racquet back higher in the looping action messed up my timing. Was taught the basic take back around waist level which gives me more fluidity and better timing. Power is still there regardless. Sort of what Medvedev does who has a great backhand! What ever works I say!!

Very didactic. Congrats! :)

Like this video very much

you have the flow man :)

Hi, Kevin. Thanks for the great video. A question I have that didn't get answered is which hand is in control of the two handed backhand? Or is it equal responsibilities? I'm completely self taught, so I'm kind of having to work it out on my own and sometimes it feels better one way and other times the other. It kind of looked like you were letting your left hand drive the shot, but it wasn't super clear. I would appreciate your thoughts on this.

Analogies are the best way to learn :)

Exactly golf style waist rotation on left foot ❤

I enjoyed the video. I’d never heard the stir the pot analogy. Very good. I noticed my hands have been too close and it does make me do a weird recoil before I swing forward. One question. What kind of shorts are you wearing?

Well done champ ..👍🇦🇺👍

Good video! I m thinking learning from scratch the two handed back hand because i m tired of my tennis elbow that i feel with my one handed. Do you think it will help? I try to swing with two hands and feels so unnatural though.

I've used a 2 hand backhand since I started playing but I still get jealous Everytime I see wawrinka or thiem hit fancy looking 1 hand backhands 😆😆😆😎👍

People who use analogies to teach or explain things tend to be of very high intelligence. I really like your videos and the way you teach!!

Hi Kevin, does this “stir the pot thing” happen with a one handed backhand as well?

all good, thank you, but I would like to hear more about the different types of backhands (2 handers), more about the bodyweight transfer, U shape, timing, and all that jazz.

Thanks man this was super helpful! I'm gonna start eating more soup 🤣

I think my mistake on my backhand is the first thing about putting my arms out enough 😎👍

in your forehand the plate of racket is parallel to the ground..you add more topsin... instead in your backhand, the plate is less parallel to the ground.. You arrive at the contact point flat in the backhand...what you think about?

- Вы очень хорошо даёте объяснения, спасибо! 🎾👍🤝👋🇷🇺

Please make a video for one handers trying to transition to two handed backhands, it’s so difficult!

Lol if you don't believe me look at me holding the racket with 2 hands. Haha that was so funny to me. Also excited for this vid. I want a 2 handed backhand.

Can you teach us single backhand please❤

The BH swing is the hardest aspect i just cant nail down…is it same for you?

Great video, but I think one thing is just wrong from my point of view. It where you keep talking about Turning the knee. You meant the internal rotation of the hip making the knee turn from facing outwards to forwards. It all about using the hip as a pivot point. Front leg needs to by facing towards the net post or the net. Many step too much side ways towards the ball with their toes along the baseline facing outwards preventing any pivot action to uncoil unless you tier a ligament in your knee.

Keep it simple. Lengthy video

My struggle are high bouncing balls deep in court on my backhand.

YOU ARE AN AMAZING TEACHER ❤

Tip 6: Change your grip hahaha Just kidding, really cool video, congrats!

i have been playing tennis for a long time, and i can't seem to change grips between shots..when i try to do this, my ball always goes into the net.

head position and rotation of body doesn't happen at the end.. kinda incomplete and static.

uhuuuuuuuuuu!!!

Yes 2:12

Tennis swing shows similarities with golf swing

guys who knows how to donate for replacing this coach's overgrip?

Thanks, would have been complete, if you had showed some hits.

stirring the pot? LoL

😂

not a good backhand. legs more open. right leg more to the front. putting the bodyenergy towards the field over the right knee. Swinging is good.
