Fantastic instruction. Nikki 's advice to keep it simple is so helpful. His strokes are ideal for any player to try and emulate. Would like to see more slow mo of his shots.
I have seen many instruction videos about the one-handed backhand, but without a doubt, this was the cleanest and most practical one. Much simpler, less to think about and clean shooting, thank you very much!!
Nikki's advice about hitting the outside edge of the ball, really helped me to understand what my coach was telling me this morning. Letting the tip of the racket lead the way, catching the ball on the outside edge seemed to help me create the shot shape that I want. It also applied equally to the down the line shot with different impact point obvs but my inclination to try and control the ball by keeping my wrist firm (stiff) was shown to be hurting my game. Similarly the idea of holding the throat of the racket with my left hand helped me create more space and the tip about imagining someone pulling the racket toward the back fence was also intuitive to me and helped create some torque in my torso. All in all, best ever online tutorial for the one hand backhand. Super helpful.
I have been watching 1-hand BH videos for years. This is one of the most useful to me.
Yes, one video for serve would be super awesome!! Great stuff so far, well done Nikki and Jonas!
Hey Jonas, hi Nikki. A SERVE Lesson would be great too..!! Thanks for the backhand and forehand episode! Best wishes from Germany to Marbella!
“Tip of the racquet should lead” ? This runs counter to what I’ve always heard which is that the butt cap should lead, tip catches up & comes through last
This is an awesome video along with the forehand one. Nikki has some great advice on how to hit with simplicity and power. I have watched alot of videos on one handed backhand technique and not one has ever mentioned hitting the ball on the side at 7/8 o'clock - what amazing advice !!!!
There you can see what muscle Memory ecactly is. In his shadowswings he is doing what he was just taught. When it is time to hit that ball, he is always doing this extra loop right after preparing. It needs so much time to get rid of habits. Great Content though!
Nikki and the other former pro from Marbella (some years ago) were the real deal, Nikki backhand part 2 including weight transfer and on the run will be great. Thanks a lot Jonas!!!
Thank you so much Nikki and Jonas. Very useful tips!!!
Amazing instruction. Hit the side of the ball. This is an example of a difference between internal feeling and what is really going on.
The racket is hitting the right place of the ball.
Nikki's best video so far here and one of the best backhand videos out there
Anyone who criticises your technique either can't play themselves or are just trolling. Good players or knowledgeable players simply dont give unsolicited advice across the internet to you. They understand the game, how development works and more respectful because of that.
Jonas, the three points are very helpful. Could you do something similar for the serve?
Ron
I have a serve video coming up 👍🏻
@@Tennisnerd Looking forward to it!
Hits backhands in warm up that are miles better than mine,
'hey look at all these things wrong with my backhand'
Please, I was not prepared to be attacked today
One tip a coach gave me and is super useful is to use your left thumb to push down on the racket, so that the racket head drops below the ball and you can hit from 8 to 2 like Niki said. I think this should help you get more spin Jonas
Very very useful tips! I have a 1hb and normally I strugle with aiming cross court, the hitting outside the ball from 7-8 pm to 2 pm really makes a lot of sense. I am new to Nikki's videos and love his technique, clean strikes and easy instructions makes it even more adictive to watch, keep it going!
The advice about hitting the ball aside and the wrist turning action really helped me! 👍 Big thanks 🙏!
Every backhand I hit from now on will be like ideal furniture.
Best BH-video Ive seen, pretty much. Great work! (again!)
Wow, thanks!
it's clear instruction, simple and easy to understand. My conclusion with OH backhand is simple but the preparation and need to always remember sideway position, not over rotate your body. Big thanks!
Glad it helped!
Great video and good reminder of how many moving parts the 1HBH has. Looks great when feeding balls but falls apart quick in a real match situation.
Super helpful. 2 handed backhand would be nice!
Great vid Nikki backhand is so crisp
Great instructional videos, Jonas!
Excellent instruction from Nik....simple and precise.
I love his preparation and the simplicity of the stroke. I am trying to work with a novice who is having trouble straightening her arm and leading with her elbow bent.
When I was learning, the most helpful tip I got was to think of it like holding a ball on a string with left hand. You pull it out horizontally, then let it drop. Same as a ball on string, it drops and swings around. Also not to lift the front shoulder.
Super backhand instruction! Better than many of the prototypical videos on line! You’ve found a new notch!
Very helpful, thank you. My 1HBH isn't as consistent as my topspin forehand, so having little mental cues to emphasize a clean, low maintenance backswing and contacting the outside of the ball whether going cross or up the line are interesting and great! Nikki does have a sick shot.
Fantastic instruction. I have the same issue as you do!!! TY
Thanks for the valuable lesson. Your demo is the best. Down the line shot, hit around the a little late is very good trick, so subtle. Cannot wait to practice that, I can’t make that shot for years.
Bravo!
Wow, this is truly next level! I've never heard of letting the racquet head go/lead so much and hitting around the ball. More details to aspire to-what fun! I also like the simple tip on creating space on the backswing.
excellent video Jonas. i am 53 and still trying to improve my 1-hander. many thanks
Awesome🎉 thx
As a fellow 1HBH myself and a fan of such strokes Nikki has a sweet crisp motion on his 1hander. Great lesson again.
Enjoyed this BH lesson immensely! Since many of your viewers are older and play more doubles, the three key shots are the serve, return of serve and volley. I would like to see you and Nikki give a lesson on the return of serve (there are plenty of videos out there on the serve and how to hit a volley). In particular, would like to see how to hit the return of serve from the deuce court including the off-backhand return and then from the ad court. Compare when to use the drive backhand return as opposed to the slice backhand return.
Nice one!! Upload more videos like that guys!! It really helps!
Thanks!
Looking forward to practicing these tips tomorrow. How to use your offhand is often overlooked when learning and refining tennis strokes. Liked the video. Keep them coming.
Absolutely
Would also love to see a lesson on the slice backhand groundstroke and approach shots on both sides.
This video is immensely helpful we need more videos with him!
Great video series ! The serve would be interesting. Volleys/smashes too. And maybe some more "tactical" tips for managing points and matches. Great work guys! I look forward to the next part. Thanks Jonas and Nikki.
Excellent again, please keep going with all aspects of the game
We will!
Excellent backhand instruction video 👍
Thank you 👍 new app available with more
With that racket tip pointed towards your opponent you have a NextGen forehand on the backhand side!
Nikki is an incredible coach!!
Great video. I’ve always struggled with the backhand but 1 handlers always felt more natural for me. Can’t wait to get on court and give it another go
Orsom .The advice to feel that the racket is comming a little bit around on the outside of the ball is very helpfull for my backhand .
he has a great backhand- the coach
Fantastic content, many thanks
Great video thank you for posting. Could you do a backhand slice video? A great compliment to the one handed backhand
loved the video, I really needed it to be honest, very simple but effective tips, gonna try to put it together tomorrow and see if i can get my backhand back to shape over time, a big thanks from Brazil
Awesome video, awesome idea. Jonas, keep up on great videos!
Great video TN! Nick is an excellent stroke repair technician! Flawed muscle memory is the toughest competitor...
Thanks!
Thank you!! These are instant classics. Made for repeat watching. Nikki and Karl are superb teachers. One video on anticipation and preparation please!
Great instruction.
Thanks u so much,i practica today after watching your fore-hand tips.It worked for me and my trainings partner.We are a different level.But IT worked for me and hun aswell👌👀🤙🙏🙏🙏🙏 Gr J
Nikki and Jonas, please do one on the two handed backhand. I’ve been blasting forehands ever since watching your forehand video. Easy power and accurate.
Great correction from the coach
Awesome to see the progression in this video. At first you were still doing the hitch then eventually you did the hitch less and less during the first drill. Then as you said, going into the second drill about going around the ball you went back to hitching a bit because you weren't consciously thinking about it as you were thinking about something else now but by the end of your drills you were starting to put it all together and it's awesome to see the results of what kind of shot you can hit once you do put it all together. The shots at the end by you looked very controlled, smooth and powerful with less effort. You were unconsciously not doing the hitch anymore as you just focused on placing your shots which shows that drills and tips really did help sink themselves into your body and natural swing. Great video!
It looks so easy....and it's really not so simple but there's a lot if good tips in this video. Thanks a lot.
Pls provide a video on the two-handed backhand and serve as well. Thank you for all the instructional information.
Excellent. Would also like to see one on the serve
the best video
I have - apparently - a Wawrinka BH which is a mix of my version of the Lendl backhand which I copied as a child and the best BH advice my coach ever gave me which is: do what you would do to throw water out of a bucket overboard on boat deck... visualise that, then do it on court and all will magically fall into place. TRY IT!!! 🎾🎾🎾
Thanks for the great video. It would be fantastic to get Nikki’s tutorial on the serve.
We will do that too 👍🏻
I would love to see a serving MasterClass from this guy.
This, and the forehand video or some of your best videos. He gives such useful instruction.
More to come!
this was awesome.
Great tips, clean explanation of the all aspects of the strokes. Thx large!
I’ve seen Ian from Essential Tennis with the same problem with the take back. Turns out he was bringing the racquet way up to hopefully impart more spin bc his grip was more on the Continental. The fix to that was to grip it forwards a bit so you don’t have to make all these weird arm movements bc the angle of the racquet will create it, not the rest of your body so now you can do a more direct stroke & utilize more forward attack.
U May have a “hitch” on your one handed backhand but it looks better than a lot of people that thinks they could hit a one handed backhand period. The fact that u keep yourself sideways and not open to quick is key. I cringe when I see videos of people trying to play with a one handed BH when they definitely shouldn’t. Besides that hitch, your bh is getting over the net smoothly.
Great simple tips fo practice. I really appreciate the tip about letting the follow through flow naturally. Some coaches instruct to keep the follow through to the "left side of the letter v," but when I have tried that it feels so constrained and unnatural, like I'm stopping in the middle of my swing.
good tip on using the nondominant hand to take the racquet back
Interesting tips on how to get some pop into the stroke. Would be great to hear similar tips from Nikki on how to get some pop on slice and kick serves (without accidentally turning them into flat serves).
Super nice instructions, thank you both. May be a slice version? And volley(bh-fh) if possible please. Regards
Great suggestion!
Just loving these videos! 👍
This was instructive. I don't know about "master class", but a good video. Watching Jonas struggle to simplify his backswing and not point the tip of the racquet forward was painful, but relatable. It can be so hard to overcome ingrained bad habits.
Great tip!!!!
I'd requested something similar regarding slice! Would be great if Nikki could break it down
We’ll get there 👊🏻
this series is great!!
glad i watched this, i could never get my backhand go down the line. can you do your next one on how to stop leaning back during groundstrokes?
I wish you guys had addressed the grip. That seems to be one of the toughest areas for newbie one-handers to come to grips with (pun 100% intended), making the spin from ready position to motorcycle (or approximate) one-hander grip while also turning and moving to get into position. And the grip has a huge influence on the rest of the one-hander flow and resulting contact. I'll check to see if you have other vids that address grip. Thanks.
Now my most favorite video on one-handed backhand tips. Concise actionable tips and great examples. Thank you Nikki and Jonas!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice work Jonas! You can complement the outcome of drill #2 with some more pronounced footwork. My impression is that you're not getting low enough/not getting enough hip rotation into the ball. Loading left>hitting through to land on the right>recovery step on the left would be helpful. Hard to explain by text, but do a shadow swing and imagine there is a dot on the court roughly 18 inches from where your right foot lands. You should focus on starting low and having your left foot finish on that dot to get maximum rotation and an immediate start on recovery footwork. All the best!
Thanks for the amazing tips.
Great video. Thanks! 🙂
Really helpfull to improve my technique, thanks for the videooooo
So clean hitting - will try the takeback to improve my backhand 👍 thanks for this great session 🙏
Happy to help!
Incredible video! Thanks so much for sharing. Could you do something on volleys?
Yes, I can look into that.
Great OHBH 🎾 tips. 👍👏🙏
Another flaw with his backhand which you did not mention is the fact he doesn't really go through the ball. When he hits it you can see his upper body move back.
Jonas, I watched this over and over. I think you're not rotating the upper body enough which is why you end up having the funny take-back.
Thanks. I have improved it if you look at my recent videos, though. Far from great, but better at least
👍👍👍 Fantastic serie of videos ! Different types of serve next time ?
Yep thanks for the video and coaching tips. I found it useful 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
It seems so many people who have been taught tennis ground strokes haven't learnt the outer edge of the ball.. ingrain that and you will hit 'late' way less
Hitch or no hitch you are ok in my book love the video
Great video Jonas. Can you also do videos about serve? especially on how to have a consistant ball toss and a proper leg drive and timing of the serve swing path?, thanks a lot 👍
Superb!
this is high quality content
