Explaining the Double Backhand grip

A complete backhand follow through

Notice how I follow all the way through, completly over the shoulder on the backhand,this will enable you to keep your balls closer to the baseline, as opposed to landing short in the court.

Another client preparing early to hit the backhand

Notice how Katie gets the racket back very early on the backhand

Mcclains tennis tip of the week.

The follow through is so very important, on each and every shot, as you view my forehand and backhand videos, watch closely how I illustrate the full follow through, so very very important to follow all the way through, this will make your balls go deeper to the baseline, this will take a person from 4 to 5 times hitting the ball over the net, to 20 to 25 balls over the net, without missing, and that definetly makes the game much more enjoyable.

GET THE FULL EXTENSION ON YOUR SERVE

The full extension on your serve allows you to get a more consistent serve.

EARLY BACKHAND PREPARATION

VERY IMPORTANT TO GET THE RACKET BACK EARLY, THIS ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE MORE TIME TO PREPARE FOR YOUR SHOTS, MOST IMPORTANTLY ALWAYS SWING LOW TO HIGH, THIS AUTOMATICALLY GIVES THE BALL INSTANT TOPSPIN, TO GIVE YOU A MORE CONSISTENT SHOT. VIEW MY BACKHAND INSTRUCTION LINK ABOVE.

EARLY FOREHAND PREPARATION

Very important, notice how I have my left arm out, to help me guage exactly how close,to get to the ball, but most importantly, it gives you that shoulder rotation, and that gives you a much more balanced shot, better balance better shot.

Just so you know, for just hitting around and practicing, pressurized tennis balls generally lose their effectiveness after 3 weeks to 4 weeks unless you put them back into a pressurized canister after play. These pressurized canisters work by making sure the surrounding pressure exceeds the internal pressure of the tennis ball, not allowing gas to permeate through the rubber out of the ball. Most of us are too lazy to deal with this however so we just buy new balls.

I love to watch people improve their tennis game. It doesn't matter what level you are. I will teach you the importance of completely following through on your strokes. I will teach you the importance of watching the ball to the exact point of contact. This will improve 90% of your game. I will teach you the importance of getting the racquet back early. I can guarantee you that you will improve your game after the very first lesson.

It matters to me that you improve your game. It is important that when we are finished, you feel like you have learned something. You will be amazed at how one little thing that you are not doing will make such a difference in your game. Most important to me is that you feel satisfied with the lesson when we are done and that you become a better tennis player.
