Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village my name is Joe Spano. Okay in teaching the back hand there must be a emphasis that the shoulder is closer to the on coming ball so the contact point must be way out in the front foot. So when you follow through actually your hips end up at a 45 degree angle where as in the forehand stroke thought earlier when you finish this stroke your hips actually wind up parallel to the base line. The reason for this is try to emphasis the shoulder closer to the ball, you much hit you have a small and a largest contact point 8-12 inches out in front of the foot and following through. Once again you see the back foot the balance, right foot the anchor foot at a 45 degree angle and the follow through wrist high and shoulder coming to a L point. "
