Tennis Backhand is an essential stroke in any tennis game. While the forehand is the most widely used stroke in tennis, the backhand is an equally powerful stroke that can give players an edge over their opponents. There are two main types of backhand strokes, the two-handed backhand and the one-handed backhand. Both of these strokes can be perfected with practice and proper technique.
Two-Handed Backhand
A two-handed backhand is a powerful stroke. It is used to hit balls that are hit hard and wide. This stroke requires the use of both hands and a strong grip on the racket. The main benefit of a two-handed backhand is the increased power and control that it provides. To execute this stroke correctly, the player must grip the racket with both hands, keep the arms extended, and rotate the wrists.
One-Handed Backhand
A one-handed backhand is a more delicate stroke and is usually used for shots that require more finesse. This stroke is used to hit balls that are hit lightly and require more precision. To execute this stroke correctly, the player should grip the racket with one hand, keep the elbow bent, and rotate the wrist.
Both of these backhand strokes can be improved with practice and proper technique. It is important to practice both strokes regularly and to focus on improving the technique and power of each one. With enough practice and dedication, a player can become an expert in both of these strokes.

The two handed backhand is a powerful and versatile stroke that can be used to great effect in a variety of situations. It is useful for hitting hard flat shots, as well as for changing the spin or angle of the ball. It is also easier to generate power with the two hands, as opposed to the one handed backhand which requires more body rotation and timing. The two handed backhand can also be used to great effect when returning serves, as it allows for a larger range of motion and more control. The two handed backhand is a great all-around stroke and can give a player an edge in the match.

The two-handed backhand is a very versatile shot, and the advantage of it is that it allows for a lot of power, spin, and control. It can be used to hit both flat and topspin shots, and it is less dependent on timing than the one-handed backhand. It can also be used to hit deep, penetrating shots that are difficult to return. To perfect the two-handed backhand, it is important to focus on the grip, stance, and follow-through. It is also important to work on the mechanics of the shot, such as keeping the elbows close together and the racket head up. Finally, practice and repetition are key to mastering the two-handed backhand.

Question: What type of one-handed backhand should I use if I'm a beginner?
If you are a beginner, it is recommended to begin with a continental one-handed backhand stroke. This stroke involves a grip in which the index knuckle of the dominant hand is placed on the bevel of the second bevel of the racquet handle. The continental grip is the most basic grip to learn, and it can be used with both forehands and backhands. It is a great starting point for beginners as it is relatively easy to master and works well with most strokes. Additionally, it can be used to hit a variety of shots, including topspin, flat, and slice.
