Backhand Training Tips
Starting Position: From the ready/neutral stance you must get into the ‘Starting Position’ with your racquet face towards the side of the court. The key is to get into that position as quickly as you can, this is also known as the power position. It will help in your preparation and you won’t be late to make your shots.
Trunk/Hips: Work on the rotational power of the trunk and hips. Opening up the hips will help in power and recovery. So if you make a backhand shot that is taking you out of the court you can use your rotation to help bring you back into play almost immediately.
The other element it helps you on is time, once you start playing higher level tennis you will need to start managing your timing. Implementing a recovery system with the help of your hips will mean you need less time to get back to the ready stance, and you also take time away from your opponent.
Hope the above tips helps you out. Good luck to all looking to improve their backhand!
