Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.41,0:00:15.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Compared to the forehand side,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.85,0:00:17.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the backhand is generally

Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.94,0:00:25.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's a side that takes the longest to learn and master for many tennis players.

Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.67,0:00:36.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's so complex because of the coordination

Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.19,0:00:40.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,having two hands on the racket
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.91,0:00:44.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is a whole lot different to the forehand side with just one hand on the racket.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.91,0:00:46.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now you've got your non-dominant hand

Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.95,0:00:50.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, it takes a lot of coordination

Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.33,0:01:14.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, before we get into the progressions,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.06,0:01:18.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the first thing that I want to talk about is the grip.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.81,0:01:20.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, with your dominant hand,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.29,0:01:21.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you will want to find
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.93,0:01:23.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the chopper grip
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.82,0:01:25.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or the continental grip.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.54,0:01:26.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now if you don't know your grips,

Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.18,0:01:37.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But for those of you that know your grips,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.18,0:01:38.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we're gonna go with the chopper grip
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.39,0:01:42.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or the continental grip with your dominant hand,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.19,0:01:44.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and your non-dominant hand comes on top,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.79,0:01:47.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you're going to find the eastern forehand grip
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.43,0:01:49.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with your non-dominant hand.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.78,0:01:53.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This grip is great because it allows you to hit with both topspin and
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.43,0:01:56.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can hit through the ball to hit a flatter shot as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.07,0:01:59.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some players play with a semi-western
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.19,0:02:01.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,grip
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.31,0:02:02.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with their non-dominant hand,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.15,0:02:03.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,including myself.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.87,0:02:05.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I use a semi-western,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.59,0:02:06.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more of a semi-western grip
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.80,0:02:09.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,somewhere between an eastern and a semi-western.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.60,0:02:11.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's just because I play with quite a lot of topspin.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.04,0:02:16.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I find that more comfortable for my game to be able to brush up
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.00,0:02:18.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the ball and really generate more heavy topspin
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.16,0:02:20.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with my backhand compared to flattening out.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.88,0:02:22.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, now we've discussed the grip,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.84,0:02:25.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we're just gonna get straight into our drills and progressions.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.00,0:02:27.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, let's get into the first drill.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.12,0:02:28.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay guys,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.76,0:02:30.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so for the first drill,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.24,0:02:31.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you don't need your racket,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.24,0:02:33.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're just gonna grab a tennis ball.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.32,0:02:36.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, this drill is called the drop and catch drill.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.18,0:02:41.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this drill is great for learning your timing and your swing mechanics.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.62,0:02:42.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, with your dominant hand,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.14,0:02:44.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're gonna hold the ball,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.78,0:02:46.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and with your non-dominant hand,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.46,0:02:47.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're gonna catch the ball.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.10,0:02:51.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, you're gonna start with your non-dominant hand up here,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.10,0:02:52.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as if you were
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.26,0:02:54.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the back of the takeback,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.56,0:02:55.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then you're gonna find
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.14,0:03:01.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a nice wide base so that I'm facing sideways on in a closed stance.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.07,0:03:02.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,With
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.55,0:03:03.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my dominant hand,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.27,0:03:05.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm gonna hold the ball out to the side
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.93,0:03:06.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with a little bit
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.97,0:03:07.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of an angle,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.13,0:03:09.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so if I drop the ball,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.05,0:03:13.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm imagining where I would make contact which is out in front and to the side.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.08,0:03:15.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I'm here,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.60,0:03:16.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I bounce,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.97,0:03:17.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I hit,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.81,0:03:18.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I follow through.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.09,0:03:21.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My hand is acting as my racket here.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.17,0:03:22.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, in tennis,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.65,0:03:24.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the racket is essentially an extension
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.05,0:03:26.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of your hand.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.17,0:03:27.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, if we can learn
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.36,0:03:31.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the correct swing mechanic and timing
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.96,0:03:33.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just with a ball and a hand,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.64,0:03:37.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then that's gonna really help us when we get to using that bigger racket.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.68,0:03:38.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You're just gonna be thinking to yourself,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.08,0:03:40.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what did I do with my hand?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.96,0:03:42.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The racket is an extension of the hand.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.12,0:03:44.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, this drill is really,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.28,0:03:44.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really great.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.33,0:03:45.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And again,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.05,0:03:47.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bounce and hit,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.45,0:03:49.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so it really helps with your timing,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.33,0:03:50.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bounce and hit,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.49,0:03:52.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you can even say to yourself,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.77,0:03:53.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bounce,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.57,0:03:54.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hit.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.33,0:03:56.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, you can see
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.33,0:03:57.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm starting here,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.33,0:03:57.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,drop,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.25,0:03:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then I'm following through.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.29,0:04:01.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you could see as I
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.88,0:04:02.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,come
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.73,0:04:04.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and come in to catch the ball,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.70,0:04:07.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my hip is rotating,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.42,0:04:08.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and my back foot
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.90,0:04:10.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is lifting up.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.70,0:04:11.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, this
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.38,0:04:14.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,mimics what you do with your real backhand.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.70,0:04:15.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Starting here,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.66,0:04:16.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bounce,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.39,0:04:28.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, guys,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.86,0:04:29.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,once you're comfortable with that,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.90,0:04:33.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,once you've done 10 to 20 reps and you've really nailed that down,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.26,0:04:43.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.69,0:04:45.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this drill is called floor tennis.

Dialogue: 0,0:09:53.30,0:09:53.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, if you're a beginner,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:53.98,0:09:57.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you don't need to try and put any topspin on this ball at all.

Dialogue: 0,0:10:12.19,0:10:15.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then now you can move on to the last drill that I'm gonna show you.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:16.28,0:10:16.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay guys,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:16.83,0:10:18.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so now we're actually gonna start hitting
Dialogue: 0,0:10:18.99,0:10:20.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,double-handed backhands.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:20.71,0:10:22.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you don't have a partner to hit with,

Dialogue: 0,0:10:26.87,0:10:29.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can simply just drop the ball to yourself
Dialogue: 0,0:10:29.27,0:10:31.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and hit backhands and really learn how
Dialogue: 0,0:10:32.19,0:10:34.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the swing mechanics work.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:34.39,0:10:37.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You're gonna hold the ball in your non-dominant hand,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:37.71,0:10:38.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,finding your
Dialogue: 0,0:10:39.65,0:10:41.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,chop a grip with your dominant hand,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:41.69,0:10:42.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and from there

Dialogue: 0,0:10:49.50,0:10:49.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So again,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:49.94,0:10:52.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're just gonna drop the ball to the side and in front of you
Dialogue: 0,0:10:53.30,0:10:53.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,up,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:53.74,0:10:54.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rack it up
Dialogue: 0,0:10:55.34,0:10:55.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and hit.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:00.12,0:11:03.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, try to throw the ball up a little bit high so that you have enough time
Dialogue: 0,0:11:03.73,0:11:05.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to put the hand onto the grip,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:05.93,0:11:06.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,take the racket back,

Dialogue: 0,0:11:08.97,0:11:11.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, the key focus here is to find that back
Dialogue: 0,0:11:11.69,0:11:15.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,position that we've been finding in all the previous drills,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:15.29,0:11:16.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and from there
Dialogue: 0,0:11:16.29,0:11:18.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you want to drop the racket
Dialogue: 0,0:11:18.29,0:11:18.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,down,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:19.83,0:11:19.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,low,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:21.49,0:11:23.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,finding the contact point around

Dialogue: 0,0:11:24.97,0:11:26.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in front and to the side of you.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:27.01,0:11:27.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then from there,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:28.14,0:11:28.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you turn
Dialogue: 0,0:11:29.34,0:11:29.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and
Dialogue: 0,0:11:30.22,0:11:31.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,finish over your shoulder.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:41.63,0:11:42.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, with these shots,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:42.80,0:11:44.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,try and think about your net clearance.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:44.88,0:11:47.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Try and think maybe about trying to generate some topspin,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:47.61,0:11:51.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so getting low to high on the ball and brushing up the back of the ball.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:52.00,0:11:53.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I know there are a lot of things to think about there,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:53.96,0:11:54.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,guys,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:54.20,0:11:57.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but if you go through each of these drills one by one and focus
Dialogue: 0,0:11:57.88,0:11:59.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on each of the points that I've been saying,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:00.08,0:12:02.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then slowly but surely you'll be able to progress
Dialogue: 0,0:12:02.83,0:12:03.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into
Dialogue: 0,0:12:03.70,0:12:05.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a really solid backhand

Dialogue: 0,0:12:08.22,0:12:12.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you won't feel like you have to rely only on your forehand side,
