How
to hit a backhand ground stroke in tennis: The
backhand ground stroke is an essential aspect
of tennis, as both a defensive and offensive shot.
Follow these steps for a right-handed player.
Reverse the alignment if you're a left-handed
player.
Move from the ready position, pulling the racket
back with the proper grip. Use the Continental
grip for a topspin or the Eastern grip for a slice,
drop shot or lob. Keep your right hand loose on
the grip. Tuck the racket toward the inside of
the body, with both arms held close to the body.
Cross over with your right foot. Dip the right
shoulder to the front. Release the racket head
to take the shot, with a sense of throwing the
shot from your right shoulder. Finish the two-handed
shot up and over the right shoulder. Make a one-handed
shot by extending your playing arm straight out.
Extend the opposite arm backward as a counterbalance.
- Take small steps to position yourself after
getting to the ball. - Try to avoid muscling the
shot. Tightening your forearm can cause pain in
the wrist and elbow. Let the racket head do the
work for you. |
