Should be in Tennis Tips area.

Anyway, a signature piece of the puzzle is Stan's well-known upper body strength to be able to 'muscle' through the ball more than the usual one-hander suspects. I am not sure this is repeatable through technique only personally.

Yes and make sure you're using a 360 swingweight tree log

Good coach. Does he have a similar video about using the body for the FH?

 

[andrehanderson]

What rating is Stan anyway? He often looks 5.0+, but there are times when I think he'd struggle with good 4.0s.

[Nostradamus]

Good video.

that's low backhand but does it also show how he handles the high backhand ?

He probably doesn't even let his opponents hit a high ball lol

I'd been doing so for over a year on a 362g (340's sw?) kps88. (going to try a used ktour 90 soon; seems lighter and maybe easier on the elbow and wrist)
I've never really tried to emulate any major pro's 1hbh, but I like Henin's bh, Stan's "low" cc bh, and Thiem's aggresive slice, and I sometimes try to observe their footwork 1hbh prep if nothing else.

How many focused hours of practice would it take?
