Helpful. Especially re : not letting the racquet drop too much. Ty
This was very helpful, thank you
Thank you
Tennis doctor uses and teaches a completely different OHB than all the greats. It’s also very efficient actually but very different in all departments. He has made a video about it regarding spin. So yes the racket drops below the ball for all the greats but at the contact point the racket is aligned with the wrist.
Can not see the all observations you are talking about. Yes, at contact the racquet is not below the hand. But at 3;22 and 4:24 the racquet head is obviously lower than the hand, causing the necessary upward motion to the ball for top spin at contact.
Also the wrist is fully extended at the Backswing only, but then flexes (towards "neutral") when swinging forward. No pro backhand is played with fully extended (stiff) wrist throughout the entire shot.
Please look also at Tommy Haas (neutral wrist before conatct) and Dimitrov.
Please clarify “wrist up”… using flexion/extension of the wrist vs pronation….. (even throw in some ulnar deviation). Fed has wrist flexion at take back but not as severe at contact point…. The wrist is still flexed but not as much, of course AT contact wrist -head should be at least lined up… but to get spin there is some pronation to get head under the ball…. Right???
When you say “parallel” do you mean perpendicular?
Thanks for all your vids man. You're great!
Fed is the GOAT, but I will say I feel like OHBs that are a bit more modern than Fed do seem to drop the racket down. I am thinking of Wawrinka here, the undisputed OHB goat. I would like to see a slow motion analysis of his too and perhaps some of the few youngsters still using it.
Cheers.
Feds backhand is far superior to Wawrinka. In 2017, he dominated the tour with his backhand. Just watch Indian Wells and you will see he totally destroyed that tournament with Nadal in the finals. Winner after winner. After that tournament the entire tour stopped targeting his backhand. Never seen Stan do that. Stan has a good backhand but he has to play behind the baseline to get a big swing, that's why he can't win on fast courts.
@@twinwankel My comment was more about generational differences in OHB technique, not about superlatives. Feds backhand was great and versatile but to say it's "far superior" to Stan's is hyperbole to say the least.
Just think: this shot is lost forever; there will never be another like it.
At 2:12-2:15, you can see fed’s raquet head BELOW the wrist!!!! Is this contradicting what you say???
You need to go and try the tip, that’s the only way you will understand- it refers to the angle in the wrist, not where the racquet is in relation to the ball- it’s quite deceiving.
his grip is rather neutral, I wonder how much topspin he likes?
Yeah no.
