3 Tips for More POWER on your One-Handed Tennis Backhand!
Tennis
Think your one-handed tennis backhand will never match a two-hander for power? Think again. In this video, I break down the 3 key tips that will transform your one-handed backhand — and none of them require a fast incoming ball.
✅ **Tip 1 – Pick the right moment.** Learn when to go for it and when to reset — hitting at the wrong time kills your power before you even swing.
✅ **Tip 2 – Use your whole body.** Your quads, glutes, hamstrings, and core generate far more power than your arm ever could. I'll show you exactly how to coil and uncoil like a bow releasing an arrow.
✅ **Tip 3 – Don't over-rotate.** The secret is in the sequence — energy travels from the ground up through your legs, trunk, chest, shoulders, then arm and hand. Over-rotate your chest and you lose a lot of energy.
Whether you're a club player struggling to hold your own in rallies or a recreational player looking to add a real weapon to your game, these fundamentals will give your backhand a completely new level of power and consistency.
