running 2h backhand

[johnval1362]

I have a very weak racquet where i need to produce my own power (kblade tour) and the only shot i seem to be really effected by is my running backhand. I want to hit topspin but i can only hit a topspin/flat 2h backhand when my feet are completely planted and the balls coming to me, otherwise i have no choice but to stick to the slice or else i mishit. any advice how to cope with my situation, other players exploit this quite a bit, because i have a big forehand and big serve, cant play net and backhand is ok..

Watch a lot of Davydenko and Dementieva videos on Youtube.

You will see how much they use their outter leg for a running backhand. You want to have a neutral/open stance and use that outter leg for grip.

Work on that non-dominant hand. That should be producing all your power. As an exerciese, if you were to let go of your dominant hand you should still be able to hit the ball with only your non-dominant hand.

use an open stance
