Too
many players incorrectly hit one-handed backhand strokes with an
isolated arm motion as a one-armed shot and more or less "poke" at the
ball with a tense swing. Instead of using both hands in concert, they
look like what some teaching pros call a "one-armed bandit" similar to
the slot machines in Las Vegas. Instead, the non-racquet hand must be
actively involved. For a right-handed player, the left or non-racquet
hand sets the racquet in position. At this stage, whether it be for a
topspin one-handed backhand, a slice backhand groundstroke, or a
one-handed backhand volley, the right or dominant hand is relaxed on the
grip. This is when the Velcro on the Backhand Fixer remains in place around both wrists.
Then,
at the same time as the forward motion of the racquet, the dominant
hand takes over, creating a quick and explosive "tug of war" with the
other hand. Just before contact, the racquet hand takes over fully and
the force of losing the "tug of war" sends the non-racquet hand in the
opposite direction. We are displaying 3 sets of "before and after"
photos, showing the set-up position (with the Backhand Fixer in place)
and also the finish position (after the Velcro on the Backhand Fixer
has pulled apart) for each of the 3 one-handed backhand shots: the
topspin backhand groundstroke, the slice backhand groundstroke, and the
one-handed backhand volley. When used correctly, the Backhand Fixer
exaggerates the feel of that "tug of war" since, at the explosive point
when the racquet hand wins the battle, the Velcro on the Backhand Fixer
pulls apart.
The Backhand Fixer can help all levels of players.
It guides beginners to "feel" the correct biomechanics right from the
start. It helps intermediate players who are looking to gain a rapid
feel or kinesthetic awareness of the correct swing. And it will also
reinforce the right technique for advanced players. Instructions
included.
