...but obviously no one told that fact to this 6yo kid?
There's no 'need' to use onehander. There's no obstacle either. There's misconception about onehander being more demanding, hungry for core power etc. but this video proves it's just a technique. There's no problem to teach kid onehander. There are only coaches who can't do it because they don't understand the onehander mechanics enough. So how could such teach kid an onehander when they don't understand it well themselves? But of course and it's logical that coach will teach their students what they're good at - so if their natural stroke is a 2HBH, they better stick with it instead of messing things up.
This vid was interesting to me because the swing motion and the stroke on this kid is simply beautiful for (almost a) 6 yo kid. This kid does it the right way.
He is cheating! Plays a Babs right from the start!
Kids have hit one handers for decades until the 1990s and they even used wood rackets.

Yeah, but what is his overhead like?
Those aren’t fed balls in my video.
The balls are coming right to him, obviously.
All I'm saying is that this video does not indicate that the child could play points or construct points, yet.Please stop commenting it’s embarrassing

I was talking about the video I posted, not the original one in the first post.
Yes, I know.
Yea you’ve never coached have you?
His upper arm could well be pressed to his chest when he first accelerates forward, as discussed.
The Youtube includes the information that Feliciano is using a small racket and lighter ball. It also says that he plays tennis using a 2 handed backhand.
This is not a recommendation - A lot has to be considered before children attempt tennis strokes.
Oh come now. I have helped many players over the 45 years I have played. Coaches today? What a bunch of morons! Look at young players today, and see what garbage they are taught! I happened to witness some young players in a small tournament at a local high school last fall. I was appalled! One girl bounced the ball about 40 times before she served, then hit a double fault. This was repeated over and over. High school boys who rip every shot, about 10% of which go in. It's beneath contempt!

Ok so no real coaching background, never developed anyone and you saw a few high school players and based off of that you came to the conclusion that coaches today are a bunch of morons. Makes perfect sense.
Here is a kid I’m currently working with. He just turned 8, but he’s 7 years old in this video.
In case you were unawares, Wise one has the most unintentionally ironic screen name on this site (a close second place goes to Nostradamus). He's a rambling gasbag of non-stop assh@ttery. I chalk it up to early-onset dementia - I think he's in his 70s.
Western grip?
I'm not sure why @tennis_balla didn't put a BH vid, since this was a BH thread...nice hitting though.
Hitting fed balls is easy, but there's more to it than that!
The shots that the kid is returning are @tennis_balla 's 1st serves.Those aren’t fed balls in my video.
Why are we debating which kid is better or is hitting easier balls? They are both kids and look good. Hope they continue to enjoy the sport.
