Likewise if done incorrectly it can become frustrating and cost you a game. Today we are going to go over some tips to help you prevent that from happening.

1. Get a grip!
This is key, what kind of grip are you planning on using? With the backhand there are two main grips, that can drastically change your play style. This is the two handed, and the one handed backhand. The two handed allows for more control, while the one handed may make it easier for you to put a slice on the ball.

Go ahead and test out a little bit, find which one makes you feel more comfortable. The key is to choose one that you want to practice with.

2. When are you hitting it?
A big problem that a lot of people have in tennis is that they hit the ball too soon, or too late. If you keep hitting the net with the ball, try waiting just a little bit longer than normal, or a little bit earlier to make contact with the ball. It'll surprise you how much of a difference it can make.

3. Use you body!
Another problem, generally with beginners, is that they are very stiff. When you hit the ball make sure to use your whole body, it's not just your arms doing the work! In fact, by using your whole body you're going to get a lot more control and power out of your hit. That's one key reason why you should always keep on your toes.

Remember, repetition is key, this sport involves a lot of muscle memory. Keep it simple and keep working, soon enough you'll have a backhand to destroy all other backhands.
