The two handed backhand is one of the most common strokes in modern tennis.
Jeff Salzenstein shares five simple tips to help you instantly improve your two handed backhand. He demonstrates each of these tips in greater detail, so that you can start hitting your double hander with more power, consistency, and topspin.

1:50 Tempo
Focus on following the ball with your strings as you take the racquet back, and then bring it forward to create good rhythm and tempo. You will need to adjust your swing path depending on the speed of the ball.

4:05 Relax Your Hands
Avoid gripping the racquet too tight, so you can get better acceleration and power on your backhand. Instead, work on relaxing your bottom hand at the end of the swing. Once you feel comfortable with it, try to wiggle the fingers on both hands.

6:56 Footwork
When you step into your backhand, make sure to bring the back leg around to fully square in and get in a low base.

10:05 Narrow Stance
When the ball comes, focus on staying more upright and taking a small step forward before making contact with the ball. This will help you to be more balanced, and hit great two handed backhands more consistently.

11:47 Lansdorp Finish
Focus on stopping your finish with the racquet out in front, which will force you to extend out towards the target. This finish is a great option when you’re dealing with a ball that comes fast and low.
