In today’s lesson I’ll be showing you the top three things that you need to do for your one handed backhand to be more like Stanislas Wawrinka’s:

Positioning: way too many club players accept shots out of their “strike zone” while trying to hit their one handed backhand. Find out how to move your feet to deal with those tough, high shots.

Contact point: I’ll how you how to “make a fist” at the ball so that your contact point is further away from your body and more out in front. A comfortable contact point is crucial for your success!

Follow through: don’t use a short, tight, choppy follow through anymore! See what two positions I recommend you try so that your swing can be longer, looser, and more relaxed.
