Two Handed Tennis Lesson: 5 Steps to an ATP Two Handed Backhand 

This is the best instruction on the 2HBH I have seen in years.

Really blown away by Nathan’s ability to articulate what he does here. I’ve always used the “turn the door handle” phrase but never heard anyone else use it. Really cool to hear Nathan use it. His description of how he uses gravity and shoulder turn to get momentum and then incorporating the butt cap and hand/wrist motion for lag and spin is so good. And not focusing on the follow through but having it be more a natural result of the flow of a good kinetic chain is spot on.

Beautifully articulated. Great job Nathan!

Nathan is very intelligent, his answers and explanation are spot on, he could be a great teacher and coach.

I love how Peter brings in other players and instructors to help out with the lesson. And Nathan has great didactic skills. When he finishes his pro career, I see a great future coach or instructor in the horizon.

Nathan did a great job explaining and demonstrating.

What a great lesson

beautiful - thank you so much

Thank you for this Video! I 've never heard or seen so many helpful tips in one video! Brilliant. Of course, the player must have skills to use them!

Well done, Nathan! Great stuff, Pete! Thank you!!!

Great video . . . learned alot. . . and I don't even hit a 2-handed backhand!

Excellent lesson 😊❤

great backhand training lesson. the swing is absolutely amazing! good luck to your tennis journey ..

Nathan is fantastic!

Great video!!

Great stuff thanks 😊 again

Thanks Pete, Thanks Nathan :)

Thank you , aboth coach and player are great !

Nathan, I'll look forward to watching for you in the draws. I also very much like your tennis instruction. Good luck to you.

So I’m just on day 2 of using this as a basis to modernize my ground strikes and really liking it so far! At first it felt like I was hitting a 2hbh that resembled David ferrer’s forehand motion…then it felt like a competitive ping pong stroke. But wow when I yep it off the rise it feels so locked in. Bonus: it’s also helping with my slice and serve, since it’s reinforcing good spacing and extension.

It is the best two handed backhand for all amateurs. Right hand grip of Nadal, left hand grip of Djokovic and the path of the racket of Djokovic. The strings in each phase of the stroke naturally are directed were the ball should go. It limits angular errors. With these grips you cant hit the ball without spin even if you tried. I used these grips some time ago and probably I will change two handed backhand to that once more.

Intense. I love it. Need more Nathan. I would like you to get him to do “return of serve footwork” - for backhand body shot and forehand body shot. I think you have covered the typical forehand and backhand returns previously.

great share

Peter: I love the way Nathan emphasizes hitting the bottom of the ball. Crucial.

Awesome CONGRATULATIONS 🎉😎😎😎😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏THANK YOU 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Great content

could not refrain but to grab my racket and checked grips, swung, prepared etc. awesome articulation of principles in a few crisp clear sentences - so well understandable also for Europeans like myself :-) Please give us more!

Chrunch har hjälpt mig mycket med många tips om enkla sätt att komma ihåg tekniken 🙏🏼🇸🇪

you guys are amazing.

Excellent tutorial. Really well done,

Great vid, Pete. We need to see more of Nathan, a cool dude with great insight.

Letting gravity initiate that "pendulum effect" is so crucial....for one-handers as well. Great video, Pete!

Wow he is very talented at teaching

let me know if you have any questions on today's video

Great video Peter!!! What a great player!!!

Nathan is a good coach

Come on, Pete. You have great instructional vids, but really, Nathan is the best. Keep it coming and good luck to Nathan. Please have him back for more.

Nathan knows how to explain stuff well. Future in coaching when he retires.

boy is a good coach. concise points. 650+ likes, 2 dislikes, that is a good video!

Nathan is a baller. We will see you on ESPN again and again.

Going to see what an eastern grip does for me. Thanks

just curious what string tension does Nathan get his racquets strung at? trying to get a better idea for when i do buy a better racquet later, kinda think i've settled on a babolat pure drive lite.

Great video! Lag and snap butt cap uuuuuuuge! Lol

We have a 2 hander at Next Level University. Awesome topspin Nathan! I'd love to see how you hit your 2HBH when you're pulled into the net on a short slice or even drop shot from your opponent and have a short court to work with but need to do enough with the shot to make sure you don't get lobbed or passed.

Where to buy this ? 3:35. Its similar like topspin pro

Which volkl racket is this?

Da playa explains well

I will subscribe if you have Nathan on it

i noticed that his racket is slightly angled at contact in contrast to most coaches where racket is vertical at this point

Would really add to instruction if Nathan could be shown in slow motion too when you feed him balls. I know it would add time to the video but also would really help viewers.

For a second Nathan looked like Michael Mmoh

The problem I see with this drill is that the ball comes much faster and not from the side and 90 % of the times you are running not static ,is good to get familiar with the 2BH technique but not to a realistic situation in a match

why does he need to switch grips? on a semi western forehand grip, shouldn't you just "flip the hand" to be on eastern backhand grip?

From my experience, the 2-handed backhand's power comes from the dominant hand so that it's more like a 1-handed backhand than a left-handed forehand: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ELEfNZrg-qw.html

Good luck winning more tournaments.

Why doesn't he rock his backhand take bock higher so that he can get more of a drop???

Why are we not using the same technique that is used in baseball with our 2 handed backhand?

If you want to demonstrate a two handed backhand, don’t use an American player. Lol.

Great video!
