There is so much more to the backhand than your players know and this session looks at improving your player’s technique in a number of different technical areas. Teach your players how to successfully use topspin when hitting the backhand, as well as developing the extension of the groundstroke. Topspin in particular is an important aspect to the modern game and is required by your player to keep up with the speed of the game. Hit with full speed and catch the opposition off guard!

All of these simple drills will go a long way to helping your player succeed out on the court!
