Want to learn how to get a better backhand? 

Today we are going to show you the techniques to do it.

In fact, learning how to do a proper backhand is very similar to learning how to do a proper forehand. All you have to do is focus on the basics, and practice daily in order to improve. What things should you focus on?

The grip - Having a different grip can drastically change the way you hit the ball. For instance if you want to put a backspin on the ball, or a slice, you would use the continental grip. If you don't have the grip down that should be the first place that you start.

The backswing - This is when you're getting ready to hit the ball, this is key. If you have never analyzed what you are doing at this point of your swing you need to do so. Do your swing slowly and see what you're doing, and what you could improve.

Contact - This is also key, when are you contacting the ball? If you hit it to soon it may go flying out of the court, and too late could make it hit the net. Once again slow down how you're trying to hit the ball and figure out when you're making contact.

Follow through - Pretty simple, just make sure you follow through! If you're not getting enough power or control over the ball this is likely your problem. Following through is a key part to every hit, not just your backhand.

And there you go! Follow these basics and fundamentals and watch your game improve, really there is no more than that!
