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!
Thank you so much Nikki and Jonas. Very useful tips!!!
loved this backhand lesson...to the point and every aspect and detail.....thanks
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 !!!!
Excellent instruction from Nik....simple and precise.
Nikki's best video so far here and one of the best backhand videos out there
This video is immensely helpful we need more videos with him!
Great tips, clean explanation of the all aspects of the strokes. Thx large!
Great instructional videos, Jonas!
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!
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.
Great video. Thanks! 🙂
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!
great lesson! I hope the second part will follow, with the preparation position, the role of the left arm and the hips. thanks
Just loving these videos! 👍
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.
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!
Best BH-video Ive seen, pretty much. Great work! (again!)
Wow, thanks!
Awesome video, awesome idea. Jonas, keep up on great videos!
Fantastic content, many thanks
Nice one!! Upload more videos like that guys!! It really helps!
Thanks!
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.
Super backhand instruction! Better than many of the prototypical videos on line! You’ve found a new notch!
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
this series is great!!
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!!!
Thanks for the amazing tips.
Fantastic instruction. I have the same issue as you do!!! TY
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!
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.
Great vid Nikki backhand is so crisp
Great tip!!!!
Excellent backhand instruction video 👍
Thank you 👍 new app available with more
Awesome🎉 thx
Really helpfull to improve my technique, thanks for the videooooo
great video! thanks
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.
Excellent again, please keep going with all aspects of the game
We will!
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
Superb!
Nikki is an incredible coach!!
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
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
Great instruction.
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.
Super helpful. 2 handed backhand would be nice!
Amazing. Thank you :)
“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
Yep thanks for the video and coaching tips. I found it useful 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent instruction... One thing I may disagree with is 14:40 "think of hitting the outside of the ball even when going down the line. He says to contact it later to go down the line and still think of hitting the outside of the ball.
A better way of thinking of it is:
1. x-court - Contact earlier. Obviously you will be hitting the outside of the ball; that is the only way to make it go cross court!
2. down the line - Contact later
Awesome tips! Videos on a two hander and a slice would be great! 👍🏻😀
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 .
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.
Love it, amazing content
Appreciate it!
So clean hitting - will try the takeback to improve my backhand 👍 thanks for this great session 🙏
Happy to help!
This, and the forehand video or some of your best videos. He gives such useful instruction.
More to come!
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.
Great OHBH 🎾 tips. 👍👏🙏
this was awesome.
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!
Great content thanks! Second serve options would be a good video.
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!
Every backhand I hit from now on will be like ideal furniture.
As a fellow 1HBH myself and a fan of such strokes Nikki has a sweet crisp motion on his 1hander. Great lesson again.
Thank you!! These are instant classics. Made for repeat watching. Nikki and Karl are superb teachers. One video on anticipation and preparation please!
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
Excellent. Would also like to see one on the serve
excellent video Jonas. i am 53 and still trying to improve my 1-hander. many thanks
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
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 👍
Great correction from the coach
Didn't think you were going to be able to stop the hitch, but seems like it started coming to you around 13:30. Nice job. Keep on it.
👍👍👍 Fantastic serie of videos ! Different types of serve next time ?
Would also love to see a lesson on the slice backhand groundstroke and approach shots on both sides.
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.
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.
Thanks for the great video. It would be fantastic to get Nikki’s tutorial on the serve.
We will do that too 👍🏻
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?
Incredible video! Thanks so much for sharing. Could you do something on volleys?
Yes, I can look into that.
Great video TN! Nick is an excellent stroke repair technician! Flawed muscle memory is the toughest competitor...
Thanks!
Pls provide a video on the two-handed backhand and serve as well. Thank you for all the instructional information.
Super nice instructions, thank you both. May be a slice version? And volley(bh-fh) if possible please. Regards
Great suggestion!
Love both the forehand and backhand vids! Serve? Please!
With that racket tip pointed towards your opponent you have a NextGen forehand on the backhand side!
Wonderful instruction. Would you like to include the difference on preparation betn double and single backhand?
good tip on using the nondominant hand to take the racquet back
the best video
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).
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.
So nice to see you rocking that particular racket, one if not the all time favorite for me! There is no two handed backhand lesson from and with Nikki Roen coming up, is there? It wouldn't make much sense I suppose, BUT aslice video maybe? Pretty please? ;D
he has a great backhand- the coach
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.
Hi,
Great video, thanks a lot !
Question: What is your OHB grip ? Eastern ? Continental ? Thanks !
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 video. Have you done serves yet?
