Beautiful explanation!!
Good advice! almost perfect, I would say just bring the left hand in when he is going hit the ball and throw it back as he swings. Creates more balance and control, it will also look smoother. Also the right shoulder just pops up as he swings, bringing the racket face to the ball a little to quick and which results in a small loss of racket head speed and alters the follow through slightly. Common mistake, because your body naturally follows your head movement. When this occurs, keep your head down as you strike the ball (don't look up at the front wall) and follow through in the direction your aiming to hit the ball (will feel smoother because your not changing the direction of your momentum) then after a few hits try looking up but look over your shoulder as you hit the ball. This works every time if you start off with the correct technique like in the video. If your hand and shoulder are inline from start to finish then you have nailed it! Give it a go your so close!
Agree on the left hand - we actually discussed it later on in the session and got him to think about using it as a counter weight. Bizarrely we couldn't find the recorded clip when we got back to do the edit which was frustrating...
We found the clip... We will be adding it into the onsite series today :)
Thanks for this. My backhand is never very consistent and this is helping
I need a Jethro Binns in my life, ya get me....
What should the follow through be like? How does the swing end?
Knuckles facing right side wall and racquet head up? Or knuckles facing up?
Thanks for any advice!
Nice Tecnique full power...
Well done Jethro, get him to slow his swing down in order to keep the ball in the string bed for maximum deflection and combined with weight transfer is key. You are doing God's work, best regards and cheers!

God's work 🤣 it's just squash fam
@@PITAProductions perhaps a bit melodramatic, however teaching stroke mechanics requires a lot of patience. Jethro is an excellent teacher.
Great video, thanks Jethro. I'm working on very similar things with my own swing so this is so helpful, especially the rotation aspect. One little question though, the wrist position you mention to think about Gaultier, I'm not quite clear on the adjustment you made here. Is it just to have Paul's wrist cocked a little bit more than he had to start with or is it some other sort of change ?
Thank you! I tried to get him in a more cocked position, but also got him to try and turn the racket face in towards the front wall, rather than leaving it facing the side wall, if that makes sense?
@@jethrobinns5404 Thanks for the reply! Yes I can see what you mean now. I should give it a try with my swing too.
@@jethrobinns5404 yes that is a great observation and makes a lot of sense!
Next step is supination of the forearm to increase racquet head speed. Good luck and cheers.
Had to look up supination, but I can't see how it would help the backhand. I'm thinking ulnar deviation is what you want. www.researchgate.net/post/Is_pronation_supination_a_movement_part_of_the_wrist_or_the_forearm
@@larsd4 , we don't want deviation of anything whatsoever. It's complicated, the supination at contact requires practice to master. Perhaps a better explanation is, the backhand swing presents less aerodynamic drag thus allows for faster racquet head speed. The supinated forearm presents the racquet face to the ball for maximum deflection of the strings, "trampoline effect". There is so much more to explain and so much easier just to demonstrate, can't wait to get back to the court. Cheers!
Hi Lawrence, just had a look at the information you posted. I am not trained in kinesiology, but I was bang on the forearm, Baahahaha! Cheers
The student is leading too much from the elbow, which is why the swing looks awkward. Also, the point is not to have the racquet head up high and then go to the ball in that position, the point is to have it moving to get to that point right at the moment (slightly sooner, so you can hold it) you'd start the swing.
parsleysage76 yes you Are Rite

Terrible foot work and he's dragging his left arm for improper balance.
