Thiems backhand is very limited in terms of spin and short angles, due to his far too stiff arm.

Wawrinka is one of my favorite players to watch, largely because of that rocket backhand. The fact that he was able to develop his forehand to such ridiculous levels during his mid-2010s peak was so pleasing to watch.

Thiem and Stan have the best one handed backhands in my opinion. Federers backhand stroke isn’t as deadly but because of his sheer ability to strike the ball it is just as effective.

Stats say that Thiem has both the fastest and most efficient bh in top tennis Highest average bh speed in the Top 30: Thiem Highest average bh speed overall: Sinner followed by Klizan (both two-handers) Fastest backhand ever recorded: Thiem (104 mph against Ruud at RG 2020) followed by Rafa (against Djokovic in Montreal 2013) and Gasquet (against Murray at the Sony Open 2013) (both 103 mph, but their average bh speed is much lower) Best winner percentage: Thiem

@@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266 So true . Also thiem at his peak is capable of so much more

One significant aspect of Shapo's jump backhand is that he frequently throws forward his right leg as he jumps, allowing him to then throw it backwards during the swing, generating extra rotational momentum. You point to the analogous role of his right arm and shoulder, but the leg has more mass, so engaging it is really big. This is not limited to one-handed jump backhands. I've seen Djokovic do it for a double-hander.

Loving these educational videos, cheers!

Wow, great analysis, and speaking as a Tennis coach! Would love to see more videos like this.

Stan has the best backhand on the tour in my opinion. But the Fernando Gonzalez backhand is a very underrated shot that nobody ever talked about. But if you have seen his matches, you'll see it's not his weaker shot but at times he has used it to great effect, especially to construct the points in his favor paving way to hit his favorite forehand.

LOVE THESE VIDEOS. MORE PLEASEEEEEE

1. Stan. 2. Hennin. 3. Shap. 4. Theim. 5. Fed. 6. Tsi Tsi. Personally I don't use highlights of bh winners down the line (going away) because a ball in position for that shot invites the fattest contact without the most refinement of the contact point. The true mark of a great one-handed bh is the ability to drive a winner crosscourt off your opponent's average rally shot. It requires meeting the ball even farther in front, while controlling the racket head through fat contact facing a cc target. You have to bring the butt forward just a bit longer for that cc snap. Stan's is the best because it's mechanically the simplest of the top backhands, yet it's powerful and he can rip it with plenty of topspin. His preparation leads to good, fat contact through the zone. Justine Hennin's backhand is a better version of Gasquet's extreme Eastern. Both players get great topspin, but Hennin's bh is a consistent attack weapon. Plus, she can hit her topspin on a ball over her head. Tre difficile. Shap's bh is similar to Stan's in the simple prep that allows fat contact. Shap has also refined his contact point so he can blast it crosscourt for outright winners. Theim has great form, but for some reason he chooses to hit rally shots too much. He should go for more winners, especially cross court. Fed is the greatest player, so his bh plays up, despite being a difficult shot. Fed also picks and chooses when to blast the topspin, opting for his slice if there is any doubt. His touch is so good that players don't dare attack his slice much. He's the best ever at counterpunching off his backhand. Tsi Tsi should have a top three bh, but he doesn't really drive his cross court bh like he should. Right now it's just a rally shot, and it shows - opponents don't fear his cc backhand. If and when he learns to snap outwards better, he will be a top 5 player.

So happy to see this video made. In Australia and i am supposing America is as bad there is a super unhealthy bias to discriminate against the one hander. There are mainly hard courts in these countries so they may try to rush opponents but the likes of Thiem and Wawrinka have shown us that its a strength not a weakness to have a one hander.

Credit should go to Pete Sampras for revolutionizing one handed back hand, amount of top spin and speed he generated is second none.
