That backhand looks HORRIBLE to me. Why does he stick one leg up in the air (the "Mardy Fish" is what I like to call it)? That might work with a 2 hander, but with 1 hand it just makes him look like a noob to me. 
As for the NTRP, I have no idea as I've never played in a USTA league (yet).

Wow - what a backhand! And, he didn't have to pay a cent to a coach to learn it.
I'd say stroke-wise he's a 3.0, however, all the shots (ugly as they were) went in,
so maybe he could give someone fits by not making any errors.

Would say at least a 3.5, (perhaps at 4.0). He is way too consistent to be anything lower than a 3.5 level.
really ugly stroke. but without match results it's impossible to tell. i'd still guess no higher than 3.5-4.0 range. i would imagine higher level players would eat that ugly stroke for breakfast.
also even though he's hitting a relatively high backhand and hitting them on the rise . . . they are still being fed to him with no spin and not all that high in my opinion. i'd be more impressed if he's hitting a heavy topspin ball hit twice as high in arc and that deep in the backcourt.

apparantly not. this has been posted elsewhere in the forum already. This guy is some hotshot coach who used to play pro so NTRP6.5

So is that his regular backhand in the first post? Even if it is he's obviously gotten good results using it. But I hope he doesn't teach his students that 1hbh technique.
He has an LTA rating of 7.1: http://www.lta.org.uk/Search/Player...&BSMGuid=1b34bfdd-2477-4542-8c29-eca5419b2240
According to the ITF conversion chart, that equates to an NTRP of 3.5.

Personally, I think that chart is full of cr@p though.
The guy has never been a touring pro. That ITF 57th in the world for over 35s is from 1997. How well established were ITF o/35 competitions in 1997?

Never laughed so hard. All the guy needs is a big red nose, some floppy shoes, and a clown suit and it would be perfect. Is that you BeHappy? lol! Come on tell the truth. That is you isn't it.

btw this was posted elsewhere as a new drill Federer should learn for hitting high backhands, cant find atm, but remember it...
in the drill, seems like the only purpose is to hit high backhands, but not much pace or spin on the feed or the hit...
