Hello everyone.
As u know i havent been playing tennis for 9 weeks already. Well i practice practically everyday with a ball machine oh and practice my serve. So basically i dont consider it playing cus its by myself with no one else.

Yep and my backhand was always good as usual then suddenly about a week ago i seem to have lost it. i don know if i lost the contact point or the setting up. I can still hit it but its kinda very top spinny and high not like my old bh when its much lower faster with tight top spin.But i could still hit consistent deep slices which is good. .. this had happended before and i lost it for about 2-3 weeks and i was really frustrated. Then somehow i was just hitting randomly without thinkin about anything and it came back.. but i dont know how could i get it back again this time cus i dont have a coach we cant afford one atm.

Oh and good news is that i've gained confidence , consistency and more power in my Fh. Somehow about the past few weeks as my Fh gotten better and better as well as my serve my Bh seems to be declining as my fh got better. and thx for the ppl who gave advice on my fh over the past few weeks.

so i was wondering how could i get my backhand back what drill could i do without a partner only a ball machine? to get this shot back. Its 1 handed with semi-western to extreme-eastern grip btw.

I bet you're not turning your body enough.
Try turning your body away (counterclockwise) from the ball when you set up (and then rotating into the ball as you make contact). A little rotation makes a BIG difference in pace on a 1hbh.

well now i kinda got a back a little. I dont close my stance too much on my bh i hit better with a square/neutral stance only a lil close kinda like henin. I got my tight, low top spin shot kinda back a little but now the finishing looks kinda weird and funny cus my body bounce back and one of my leg kicks up kinda like gasquet. It looks funny and i think i have to fix it.
