Great Video. Karue, you have a truly world class backhand, and an equal ability to break it down into easy to understand components. That's true talent. I'm a 1 hander, but injured my index finger so I played around with the 2 hander. I watched your how to hit a 2H video and everything clicked. Keep up the good work, this is the best tennis coaching content on UA-cam by miles.
Wow. What a fantastic tip -- this has totally transformed my backhand. I've had people tell me over the years to "load up on the back foot," but this "1, 2, 3" mechanic has really helped me zero in on the timing. This helped not just the power, but moreso with consistency. Great tip.
I'm changing from a one handed backhand to a two hander and am finding it to be a long slow process. I've found your tips to be very helpful and as a result I am getting more confident with the two hander. Thank you for the excellent and informative video. John Shannon.
Nice lesson. It's basically setting up for forward weight shift. Many rec players, including me, have a tendency to fall off backwards on their two-handed backhand. The 1-2-3 step tip is effective and easy to remember. Thanks very much! I saw another tip I would add to yours (I think it was Nate and Scott over at the Playyourcourt YT channel) to remember to get some bend/flex in the back leg when setting up the backhand (so in your lesson, that would be between steps 1 and 2). The bend/flex helps the back leg push into the shot, of course, but also helps by naturally dipping the front shoulder forward and down into the shot contributing to more forward momentum and more low to high swing path. Also, I love how your lesson emphasizes that hitting harder is not the answer. Better technique is the answer to more power. Great job.
Such a solid swing with incredible fundamentals! Your point about moving sideways first is game changing for me. Looking forward to some of your thoughts on the forehand. Keep up the good work Karu, one of the best tennis channels around.
I just watched 4:40 mins of this. Applied it to my cardio tennis class. 1.2.3...pivot. It worked. My backhand went from solid to a high proformance shot. The pivot created a Very solid shot and Consistent motion. I felt smooth and that rhythm force me to be patient on the stroke production. I was able to consistently hit a backhand that plowed through the court. The shot was easy power and heavy. Incredible knowledge and information. Thank you.
this is a late comment, but i've added this technique to my 2hbh. i've broken a set of strings every day this week. you've turned me into a string breaker, karue!!!! ;) seriously though, i have had the problem of "locking out" my hips on my backhand for years and you're the first person to demonstrate what i need to be doing instead. keep up the good work!
Simple explanations, but absolutely game changing! Finally, some good content on tennis fundamentals, not aimed at beginners. Thanks a lot Karue. I recently discovered your channel but it’s already my favourite for tennis on UA-cam
very valuable tips, I could recognize myself doing wrong things from this video getting anxious with the front foot too early, and thus locking myself up! thank you very much!
Wow this was what I was missing after starting to play again after 10+ years. All the memories of my coach telling me to this just came flooding back. Thanks!
EXCELLENT INSTRUCTION KARUE! YOU KEEP IT SIMPLE FOR US CLUB PLAYERS! I KNOW I'M GUILTY OF OVERANALYZING TOO MUCH, WHICH HINDERS ME AT TIMES INSTEAD OF HELPING. AWESOME BACKHAND!! 👏👏👍👍🎾🎾
1) use left leg to generate power. Left, right, hit, clear the hip. 2) dont turn early. Side shffule then turn late 3) use right foot direct the ball. Step towards the right court to go criss court
Lately I'm having a hard time trying to move the weight of my body forward on my backhand and I feel as if my hips were "locked" and that translates into powerless not very controlled backhands. I'm going to pay attention next time I play to the way I move towards the ball. You might have pointed out the issue. Thanks a lot mate, keep on with the amazing job you're doing here
Wow! Exactly what I needed to hear. I've been struggling with consistent power on my two hander especially against slow balls and felt like it had something to do with my preparation so this tied it together well. Thanks!
Great back hand, liked your right hand movement which gives a clean hit that many coaches ignore and emphasize two hander being like a non dominant arm forehand which its not. 👏
Coincidentally, I'm trying to consciously implement this concept into my born-again 2-hander! I fully am on board with using "the big muscles" (i.e. legs, core) as much as possible to increase power and repeatability of the stroke. A topic like footwork is definitely too often overlooked by aspiring players and coaches alike, yet it is such a fundamental key. And in my case, I think it is the one focus area that can have the biggest immediate impact on current game - and thus match results. However, I think I'm running into an issue: my left (back) leg has a tendency to start clearing around BEFORE I make ball contact. Making sure your back foot rotates around the front leg axis is a useful checkpoint. But I think I am over fixating on the back leg and looking at it as the core issue - as opposed to a natural by-product of having that good, good weight transfer. In other words, I'm forcing it, and maybe my dumb subconscious thinks that swinging the leg before contact somehow adds power. My non-professional theory is that this is actually NOT GOOD because it lowers your base stability AND adds another layer of motion/complexity that makes the total stroke/result less repeatable. On top of that, it probably adds zero additional power. Not unlike how actually jumping on a neutral 2HBH (unnecessarily) would have the same negative effect. In fact, the back leg lifting too early is basically a mini-jump. Almost every example backhand in this video has the left leg lifting only AFTER ball contact. Some are very close, but there is only one near the beginning that I can think of where the order is reversed. And in that one instance Karue was intentionally exaggerating the motion to make the demonstration clear. So...Is my theory correct? And if so, what could be a good drill to counteract my inclination to "rush the legs?" p.s. Love the channel and a karu é a melhor! 😋
Great discussion regarding weight transfer. It’s true that many rec players are focused on the upper body but you can access some great power by utilizing the lower body. Now...I just gotta work on syncing both upper and lower 😂
Hi Karue, this is a great video! I'm always struggling with my hips when receiving fast balls. I couldn't find a solution for this, now I want to try this ASAP on the court ;). Also your video regarding overthinking your strokes will help me a lot, I'm always thinking about my technique (even now that I'm 41) and because of this I lose a lot of matches. Many thanks!!
Any chance you could make an instructional video for 1) kick and 2) slice serve? Would love to emulate your serves! By far the best tennis content on UA-cam cheers!
The only thing that bothered me as a coach from within 10 sec in the video is his habit of letting go of the racket with his left hand right after he swing the racket over his shoulder when explaining. Not going back to the the ready position with two hands on the racket. Students are prone to copy those habits of their teacher too. The lower body routine is solid totally on board with that. Very well explained and shown in easy steps and progression to rally.all I can I feel leaving that hand on the racket has more advantages make it look more sharp, you can change to forehand grip faster. Also it called a dubble handed back hand not 1,5 or 1 3/4 backhand.
I do all that little footwork stuff because too often when I don't, I've misjudged where exactly the ball will be when I'm hitting. It's possible, because you have seen and hit so many more balls than the typical amateur, you've developed a much better system for seeing the ball and knowing earlier where it will go.
Hi Karue! Love your content! Do you have any videos with tips for the one handed backhand? I know your 2-ey is awesome, but us single handers could use some advice too!
For good top spin it's important to band more left knee, if you are right handed forehend player of course, and for backhand on the left side will be shot of course
Nice video yet again! Do you think this footwork and movement could also be applied for the one handers? The more modern type where you open up the hips like Stan and Dom. What are your thoughts? Would appreciate if you could do a video on the one hander too!
Also I would like to add another question. From what I see, your footwork has your right foot to be perpendicular to the baseline compared to having it parallel to the baseline. Would that mean, so long I have my right foot perpendicular against the baseline as opposed to it being parallel along the baseline, it wouldn’t matter how I initially start my footwork?
Yes, the footwork for the one hander is very similar. Really push of the left leg and allow your hips to clear. And yes having my foot perpendicular to the baseline will make it easier to use your body weight
Thanks for the video, Karue . I am having problems keeping my head still through the stroke causing inconsistency. Are there any tricks to help me do this consistently and maybe smooth out stroke/ maintain better balance?
This! I will definitely try I don’t know if this relates but I always brush the side of my shoes on the court; eating up my shoes. Would this lower body movement techniques help eliminate that?
Happy New Year Karue...lovely backhand motion.....just something I'm curious about is your grip on the racquet for the two hander....can you explain where your hands are on the grip...thanks.
@@KaruesellHQ ...Karue....many thanks....I just saw your vid on Medvedev and I thought it was the best you have done so far.....fabulous insight and greetings from Brisbane.
The backhand swing appears to end sideways rather than upward. It looks like a left-hander is hitting the forehand. Is that intentional? So what's your grip? I think the left arm is semi-western. Is it modern backhand?
Would love to see a breakdown like this from someone you think has a really good one hander. Pros and cons of one vs two would be cool too. It's talked about a lot but your opinion would be valuable
nice! great lesson cant wait to try this. Could you create a similar video for forehand and explain sequence of actions. Is it hips first or is it non dominant arm. so much confusion about this,,, ,Knowing this sequence would help a lot. Thanks man !
No. It will be more of a 1 2 since I don’t use the front leg. But pretty much the same concept where I push with the left leg and allow the hips to go through
Hi Karue I'd really like to know your opinion about this. If you were to quantify the power contributors of forward swing how would you rate left arm/right arm/torso rotation, percentage-wise?
Interesting but not relly relevent and something no one would know except urself. It depends on what type of 2h backhand your have (there are 4 types). Dominant hand dominant, non-dominant, straight arms into bent contact, bent arms into straight contact. People are usually a blend of 2 of each of those I listed.
Great vid! Will apply those tips tonight. Do you personally keep your gaze on the contact point for a bit after contact like Rafa? Think it matters or just a personal preference?
Yes it can, the 123 can be done on the close stance forehand. Open stance would be a bit different but still the same concept of pushing and clearing the hips
Hey man - thanks so much for the solid video! I want to get back my backhand with power which I had before lockdown. I used to play lots of tournaments when I was in my early teens and now that I'm going to be trying for a university team, I want to get my backhands to be consistent and powerful at the same time. It looks from the video that I may be missing the rhythm that you mentioned - I think it also depends on my footwook and point of contact which seems to be more hit and miss somehow after quarantine. I hope to have as consistent of a backhand as you have some day while playing matches :) Are there good tips you might recommend for a guy who wants to pick up his backhand fast? I changed my backhand grip 3 years ago because since then it's been a bit wonky so maybe just hit more balls? Thanks again and hope you see this somehow lol
Backhands can be tricky but I find it to be a simpler movement than a forehand. It is difficult to judge your backhand by a comment but here is a video that might help ua-cam.com/video/rpZ9ERJR6WE/v-deo.html

As often as i can hahah
The backhand swing appears to end sideways rather than upward. It looks like a left-hander is hitting the forehand. Is that intentional? So what's your grip? I think the left arm is semi-western.
Is it modern backhand?
love your vids man. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you!
Love your videos!! Thought you were a yonex fan. What is your say on the pure strike? Many complain about its stiffness
Could you do me a favor? I wonder you could tell me what kind of string are you using? And how many weights of string strung on your racquet?
Would love to see a breakdown like this from someone you think has a really good one hander. Pros and cons of one vs two would be cool too. It's talked about a lot but your opinion would be valuable

Haha, love the fact you nearly had to stop the video because you realised you are in Austin with Austin 😂
EXCELENT......THE HIPS THE KEY........
Not trying to make fun, but just realized is your name meant to be a pun on carousel? Great video btw, respect.
Is this something that can be implemented for single handed backhanders???
Yes
nice! great lesson cant wait to try this. Could you create a similar video for forehand and explain sequence of actions. Is it hips first or is it non dominant arm. so much confusion about this,,, ,Knowing this sequence would help a lot. Thanks man !
Absolutely. The forehand side can be a bit harder for that but I will work on it
Thanks for the video! On the open stance do you still follow a 1 2 3 pattern with the feet?
No. It will be more of a 1 2 since I don’t use the front leg. But pretty much the same concept where I push with the left leg and allow the hips to go through
Video about flat serve please!
Hi Karue
I'd really like to know your opinion about this. If you were to quantify the power contributors of forward swing how would you rate left arm/right arm/torso rotation, percentage-wise?
Interesting but not relly relevent and something no one would know except urself. It depends on what type of 2h backhand your have (there are 4 types). Dominant hand dominant, non-dominant, straight arms into bent contact, bent arms into straight contact.
People are usually a blend of 2 of each of those I listed.
Would the hip opening up also apply to the OHBH?
What the power ratio between your leading arm and trailing arm?
Love the vid! Sorry if I missed it but does the power come from the back leg or the hips?
Thank you!
Great vid! Will apply those tips tonight. Do you personally keep your gaze on the contact point for a bit after contact like Rafa? Think it matters or just a personal preference?
Personal preference really
Does something similar need to happen to the one hander? I feel like my hips are usually locked for that..
Yes, same concept
Can the same tip can be applied to the forehand?
Austin stalking at 7:50! hahah
Yes it can, the 123 can be done on the close stance forehand. Open stance would be a bit different but still the same concept of pushing and clearing the hips
@@KaruesellHQ how about semi open stance?
If you’re still in Austin, let’s hit and make a video 😁
I thought that looked like Austin!
Great video! This is what I’m looking for! By the way, do you have review for pure strike?
There is one in the channel for the 18/20 version and I am currently working on the 16/19 review
