Why One Handed Backhand Is Better?

One-handed Backhand: The main benefit of a one-handed backhand is reach. ... It's often easier to attack the net and move forward with your shot if you hit with one hand, because you hit a one-handed backhand further in front of you. Also a one-handed backhand hides a slice better, which keeps your opponent guessing.

What is the primary benefit of using a one handed backhand?

One-handed backhands should be hit more in front of the body than the forehand, which allows them to be hit with a deeper hit spot. One-handed backhands force players to hit high balls with slice, thus causing them to develop much better slice backhands than two-handed players.

Is the one handed backhand making a comeback?

It looks like the single-handed backhand is making a comeback. In the 1970s and 80s, the single-handed backhand was very popular but slowly people shifted to the double-handed backhand. Now NextGen players like Dominic Thiem and Stefanos Tsitsipas are playing single-handed.
