What is the most difficoult tennis shot to learn?

[toth]

Some of my tipps:
1.kick serve
2.backhand smash
3.half volley
4.other

I think backhand smash is the most difficoult shot to learn.
Very difficoult shot and difficoult to practise - need trainer or practise partner.
(In the match i always miss it, fortunately there is not more than 2 of them in a whole match.)

Thank you for your answer

I guess it’s true that my kick serve is more of a slice. So I guess kick serve.

BH smash, for sure. I've played against quite a few with a good kicker or HV; I've never played someone with a good BH smash.

You don't need someone else to practice; a wall is good enough.

I recognize my limitations and try to rein in my inner Federer when attempting the shot and go more for placement and trying not to dump the ball into the net. I've managed to hit very slow winners by going DTL when my opponent was running to cover the CC.

Learn badminton and backhand smash will be easy.

The one that wins the last point of a match.

I am a beginner in bh smash, i dont think, i can practise it with the wall.
1 out of 10 of my tennis friend is usefull to practise bh smashes - much more than it would be 0.
I have not a lot of good experience with coaches - maybe i am too old for learn tennis this way.
I just find Internet and video more usefull.

i think it really depends. my serve is below average, but i rarely miss a BH overhead.

KISS: the serve.

DTL tweener..

Backhand smash is pretty simple and there is not much that can go wrong just because the mechanics of the human body force you to use your wrist to hit it (as you should).The rest is just body positioning and footwork.

So the CC tweener is easy?

[I have a hard time hitting any type of tweener; I'm just happy it does in and I didn't hurt myself.]

There's plenty that can go wrong as I demonstrate to myself [and my opponent] repeatedly.

- Turning my back to the net is not natural
- Many are weak in external rotation
- Many lack the flexibility to get much RHS or the coordination to get the wrist snap

Even most pros are not necessarily good at this shot.

I wonder if those with a 1HBH are better because both shots require flexibility that those with a 2HBH don't necessarily work on.
