I had the privilege to watch Stan playing in Gstaad in the beginning of his career. His backhand was breathtaking! He won the first set easily but lost the match because he was not playing very smart, trying to hit winners all the time. Some years ago I went to vacation in Brazil and went to play in a public court. I saw there a teenager playing a backhand which was identical to Wawrinka’s! He told me that he saw all videos on Wawrinka’s backhand and studied them carefully. He won in this year the city championship at his age category. He said he won mainly because his backhand.
Where was the public court? Vila Lobos Park, in Sao Paulo? Jardim Botanico in Curitiba? Do you remember the kids name? Nice to see something positive about Brazil :)
This is such a great lesson! Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
I've watched a lot of videos on one handed bh as my weakish bh has held me back from rising to the next level. This is the best one handed video I've I've seen so thank you! The explanation of how the positioning of the front foot enables the hip rotation resonated with me in a way it hasn't before. My hip rotation is much more powerful. My bh has pop. Really cool. Thanks!
This is the best backhand video I have come across, thanks so much!
Great lesson. And I agree, Stan's backhand is incredible. Poetry.
Beautiful Kevin! My favorite 1-handed backhand video from you. Gravity plus hip turn sounds = concise distillation of power on ground strokes. Also the loose / gentle doorknob turn is a nice way to put it and help visualize what happens.
Stan's Backhand is a hammer.
Kevin - wow, you really hone in on the nuances that matter, inter-spliced the right amount of Wawrinka footage, and the lighting was great on this video. Wawrinka is the only player who can make Djokovic occasionally look helpless from the baseline, and it's due to this incredible shot.
Great analysis on one of the most beautiful shots in the game. Well done.
Hard to improve on that comment.
One of the best tennis lessons on youtube - stupendously articulate!
I'm a huge fan of this channel and this is by far the best lesson I've found about one-handed backhands. I was able to see all the mistakes I've been doing for years and I can wait to hit the court to start improving my game. Thanks!
I went back playing tennis after a long hiatus and couldn’t get my backhand working until this video, brilliant tip. Thank you 🙏
Man you are so good that it seems that you were the one who teached Stan how to do that. Good sob!!
Your ability to describe is fantastic and you really got me to visualize my body and feel I’m on the court as you were describing the hips, feet, knee and everything, feels like I got better just listening
Such a great tip on turning the back knee in to ensure hip rotation! Thanks Coach Kevin!
You are so good at breaking down these swings. The one thing that’s made the biggest difference for me is your emphasis on being loose and not tight when swinging.
The BEST tennis instructor on UA-cam. The way he breaks it down. Thank You!!
100%
Thoroughly enjoyable viewing. Clear, sensible and well illustrated examples (eg doorknob). Great job, Stan!
4.5 player and this was a tremendous backhand review of the nuances of the backhand!! Excellent!! Thanks
My favourite Stan The MAN 🔥
The knee initiating the hip feels different in the leg when shadowing it. I'll give it a try. I can see making the backhand more effortless with the right timing.
I would love to hear how it goes on the court! thanks
Stan does seem like he would be a cool guy to meet! Thanks
Very detailed and accurate explaining of the backhand! I just started tennis/padel at older age and this helps me soo much!
Great video! Excellent breakdown to help maximise form and power!
I'm a one-handed backhand player - and an ex-junior tennis coach.
Really loved the attention to detail of the basics.
These tips should really help to quickly start practicing!
This will add years to my knee, hip and shoulder. THX!
Thank you so much, what a great breakdown of Stan's Backhand
Easy to remember tips. Tommorow I try it on the court.
Thank you Kevin
Thanks a lot for the breakdown. Just what I was looking for!!
Excellent video breaking down the mechanics of how to hit a strong one-handed backhand like Wawrinka's! It will help me improve mine. Thank you!
I changed my back hand footing and started pointing my foot like you showed in this video. It literally improved my backhand instantly.
Great explanation...thanks and congrats !
Wish the algorithm had let me know earlier that your channel exists. Got to know you right before the pandemic on essential tennis. Turns out you’ve been going at it for a long while already. Very interesting content. Much clarity. Subbed.
Thx so much for this break down on Stan's backhand
Beautiful analysis and pointers.
Absolutely superb lesson!
Excellent video. Thank you very much
Thank you very much, perfect trainer👏👏👏
Love the microscopic detail in your analysis, Kevin.
Thanks Jacksonlar!
Great help, thanks!!
Stan's backhand is a weapon.
Not many players can out-backhand Nadal and Djokovic - but Stan can!
To really succeed with a 1handed backhand - fast reaction / fast footwork is essential to give yourself TIME to get behind the ball - to get the ball in your power zone.
Great Video! Really enjoyed those progressions!
Fantastic analysis!! Thank you!!
Once again, great lesson!
Well done.. great explanation breaking the stroke down
So helpful. Thank you.
Not only the content is good but lighting is amazing too.
Thumbs up Kevin
Fluent and technical. Thanks.

Wow, my first time watching you, you did an excellent job and really know your stuff! You have several aspects that others aren't talking about. Good job!
Fantastic instruction. Thank you.
brillant analysis. well done kevin.
Great lighting in this clip, great content as well 🙂
Greate video, thank you, Kevin!
great lesson!!! very helpful
Superb analysis and explanations.
Nice lesson!!! Thank you
Excellent lesson on one handed backhand.
This deserves more views
You are a great great teacher thank you
Wonderful instruction! As an adult beginner, this helped take a lot of mystery and frustration out of this shot
good analysis thanks
Another great video!
Kevin - I love the I learned a lesson from...!!! I have be watching you latest videos closely. Thanks
Thanks Furey!
really important information. Very useful for players that are competing and coaching at my level.
Good stuff - thanks!
The tennis court looks like a paradise. So color and peaceful.
very good video !!!!
Another great instructional video-thanks 👍
Awesome, Thanks Vicky!
Now that is some excellent observation regarding his right toe orientation - I'd like to focus on this a little the next time I'm out on court! Thanks!
Great video! Mauresmo and Kuerten were using the hips in a similar way in their backhands.
I'd also add that Gasquet is able to handle the Nadal heavy ball. And Kuerten had an amazing backhand able to deal with high balls- massive rotation in the shoulders and hips.
Excellent!
Excellent tuition. Thanks
Thanks Ali!
Excellent analysis and presentation as always.
Thanks Cavaleer!
SUPER VIDEO! Great job
thanks Henrik
This is really good analysis. Don't know this teacher, but wow. Really talented.
Best explanation of the mechanics of the one-hand backhand that I’ve encountered
Thanks Kelley I appreciate you watching!
Very nice explanation of the stroke mechanics and differentiation between cause and effect. Nice to see a video of this kind even you usually hit a decent single backhand to remind you of bad habits that one might develop. I remember when I played more, just before contact I pushed with my front foot that went from bent to less bent. This felt great and all but in the context of this video, I realize that what I should have focused on was the hip rotation leading the stroke (in my case it was the leading leg doing that thus generating hip rotation) which in addition to the front foot should have included the nice focus given to the backfoot. Thanks for this very educational video.
Good stuff, man
This video transform my backhand into Wawrinka’s back hand thank you!!
Thank you .
Great vid
excellent kevin ! well explained the one handed backhand which i am working on as well. i guess you missed out on grip change , for this shot.
One of the greats!
Thanks Javi! 👍
Nice explanation
Best tennis videos from far...
wow verry nice thanks
Great video thank you! 😁
Glad you liked it Philip!
Excellent analysis...what explodes the hips are the core stomach muscles...after many years of hitting a baseball, it's the same powerful action
Kevin, you know how to teach! thanks!
Great video, well done coach. I think it is important to remember to choose a racquet with enough plough and stability to assist with the contact and the follow through of the ohb. Players with ohb generally employ racquets with very high swingweights.
Thanks for the video Kevin !
May I request you to make a similar video for Gustavo Kuerten
Amazing points it's almost like a hitter who really knows how to use his hips and can hit a ball 450ft without looking like he swung hard cause he knew how to rotate his hips. This is something tennis instructors need to latch on to as you did Kevin. You here them talk about racket angle contact point etc but hardly any talk of hip rotation.. For some reason Stan focused on this point and he flat out laces his BH. Another point is when you showed how his back foot rotated so you can see his shoe soles up is a clear sign he's getting maximum rotation. I actually got on to this by analyzing baseball hitting I said if it works there it will work in tennis also. So I experimented on court dropping balls and hitting BH. I definitely noticed when I made a point to use a forceful hip thrust rotation my balls were zooming off my racket with easy power as compared to casual hip rotation. So excellent break down and I've proved it to myself. Trick is to not get lazy and just hit a whatever BH. I also like how you keep your front foot open a little so as not to restrict your hips from rotating. Probably the best breakdown on BH on internet.
Perfect !!
Hey Kevin, I've been watching your videos and this is my third. Great job! May I ask which Radical you have been using, the MP or the Pro? Thanks.
I agree with the points on the preparation, hips, rotation, all that. What I think is missing is focus on the point of contact. If you don't feel comfortable with how your swing is going to meet the ball, and how your wrist action is going to come over it to reliably give it topspin, then you're going to struggle. The reality is that the ball is on the racquet face for a very short time, and it is the racquet face, and ONLY the racquet face, that generates the path and spin of the shot.
