Fundamentals of Backhand Techniques

In the Fundamentals of Backhand Tennis, the player swings his racket around his body in the direction where they want to land the ball. Like the forehand stroke, the backhand groundstroke is generally used on baseline rallies. However, the backhand groundstroke can also be used if the player wants to execute an approach shot. This tennis stroke can be accomplished using two hands, called the two-handed backhand. It can also be performed using one hand, the one-handed backhand.

The backhand groundstroke is generally more complex to master than the forehand stroke and less potent than the forehand shot.

When comparing the two backhand shots, the two-handed backhand is more stable and has more power than the one-handed backhand. Thus, this backhand technique is more popular with professional tennis players. However, the one-handed backhand also has its advantages, one of which is its extended reach.
