hi guys welcome back to talkabout

this is very common issue for many
players hold it there different options
in general the most common grip for the
dominant hand if we are right-handed the
right hand will be a classic continental
grip which is our Anaka will be on the
second edge or on the bevel number two
the first one is here the second is here
so it's a canoe trio continental or more
known as a hammer grip like usually a
hammer and then the left hand will come
naturally on the side here and this is
actually going to be your lefty its
Eastern grip for the left handed
forehand the knuckle is on this bevel
which is actually number seven or on the
opposite side it's number three so if we
go this is one and then two three four
on this side is one and then it's eight
seven so this will be a Eastern grip on
the forehand so dominant hand here
then the left hand there this is as I
mentioned the most common grip but there
is definitely different varieties and in
some cases like let's say more extreme
players would play more topspin the
dominant hand would actually come to the
top bevel with their knuckle and this is
also in my case this is how I hold my
back and it's on the top and the left I
still keep pretty much the same I think
also Rafa Nadal except that his opposite
handed here his left is more on the top
[Music]
so now I will get more into the swing
and the technical part of the back end
after we receive the ball coming in
which is a split step we're going to
initiate the turn starting with the
shoulder turn right and you see my
racket stays up and I'm trying to get
into that sideways position which is
closed dance and this always recommend
for the back end if you have time
because only then you can have the best
weight transfer and then use the more
body weight into your sock the next part
so one feature as a master we're going
to make the step forward and now it's
still important to keep the racket
pointing up to the sky you will see for
example normal joke which is very
classic example to this it has this face
and then the left one will advance with
elbow height which
for the accelerating the swinging after
that the very important part here is
when we start leaning we're actually
going to pull the racket with our right
hand with our dominant hand almost like
pulling a rope what will actually make
the racket head dropped right and then
the racket will drop all the way below
our wrists and our handle
[Music]
and then we're gonna go all the way
forward into the contact point where
we've been actually straighten up the
racket and that's where the topspin
action happens we're gonna brush the
ball and then lead with our left hand
this time with the right hand and lean
with the shoulder but from then the left
hand takes over and then we're leading
this with the left hand basically like a
left handed forehand into the contact
[Music]
another tip for the back end if you're
struggling to get to wait for the shop
up with your and then I can make much
better weight control because very often
you will see players do this they're
gonna drop here of course based on the
ball you will be pushed away from the
court but on a neutral boss you want to
get be kind of off and then he was
accepted
behind stepping
