Gracias Will 👍🏽🇪🇸

Great video. Being cross eye dominant I have done this at times without really trying to. Its great to see some kinetic explanation on how its done. Thanks again, you're one of the best on KZread.

If you get jammed into the body you can still hit closed-stance BH by stepping backward with the left foot, then push off forward again from the left foot to execute the closed-stance BH.

That is true if you're given enough time. All depends on the situation

Thanks Coach! knowing to shift the weight is a big help ( aside from depending on a slice backhand).

I almost never hit an open stance backhand and I still clip my leg maybe every couple weeks or so on a very low incoming ball....not pleasant at all but it is the nature of the shot sometimes. "Beauty is pain" (sometimes).

Great video coach. Thank you. I hope one day I make it look "easy" like you do 😉

It'll be like it was before and I'm even adding a few things

I use this when I know I will be late on the shot or for return of serve. In fact, I will shift my weight to my back leg to prepare for the shot as you suggest. It is a defensive shot but it works very well.

Love this video and the tips. I was always under the impression that doing an open-stance OHBH is incorrect. Going to give it a try ASAP.

@@ironwilltennis the scenarios you mention are exactly the moments where I struggle with the OHBH, on the run or when I don't have enough time for a closed stance.

Hey Will! hope you continue doing the one minute clinic series, I like it a lot! I will leave one topic in case you decide to cover it. I noticed I hit most of my flat serves with a bent arm at contact. My toss is pretty high, but the ball drops quite a bit before I finally hit it. I also use a pinpoint stance. Any tips on how to achieve a higher contact point with a straight arm? Thanks!!

Can you please make a video on returning slow serves for an intermediate player (positioning and shot selection)?

I think I can manage that😁

hi will, what should be use , closed open or semi on forehand. tnx

Would the mechanics here also be useful for receiving serve (for a right handed backhand) in the ad court if the serve comes fast and one can't shift the right leg into position first?

Yeup it can definitely be applied to that situation

@@ironwilltennis one more question- would there be adjustments to this mechanic if I’m right eye dominant (which I am) versus a left eye dominant right handed backhand?

​@@Jsjliao That's some PM bs used to sell coaching, just keep both eyes on the ball.

Or just slice it, it's still a one handed backhand technically speaking 😊

I was trying to stick to the main request but you are 100% correct that is also an option
