In this article I will give you some backhand tips. I'm doing this because if you're like me, your tennis backhand is the most difficult stroke to master. A lot of people just ignore their backhand and try to makeup for it's weakness by standing on one side of the court so they can hit most of the balls with their forehand. This is a mistake. They will never take their game to the next level if they are protecting one side.
Every player is different, but if you follow these backhand tips, you will get better.
Here are some backhand tips that can help improve your backhand right now:
1) When you run to the ball, take small steps. You're first impulse will be to take large steps, but that will put you in serious trouble if you accidentally overshoot your spot.
2) You've probably heard the old saying, "keep your eye on the ball". Well it should be, "keep both eyes on the ball". You need to see the ball with both eyes so that you have depth perception.
3) Your racket face should be perpendicular to the ground all the time during your swing. It even should be perpendicular to the ground as you wind up for your swing so that you are already holding the proper position. Your contact point with the ball should be about a foot ahead of where you're standing.
4) Practice your backhand; don't be afraid to use it. Only practice for about five minutes at a time though. If you practice longer, you may get tired and start making mistakes.
5) Take it easy, don't force anything. Sometimes it helps to practice and then sleep on it. When you wake up, you'll find that you're much better at it.
6) When you wind up, keep your wrist straight and your arm slightly bent. When you're wound up and ready to swing, use your free hand to steady the racket in the proper position. During your swing, gradually straighten your arm until it's completely straight by the time you make contact with the ball.
7) Keep looking at the spot where your racket made contact with the ball. You should look at the spot for only half a second, but this step is important.
Some people find that their backhand shots are very weak. If you need more power try using the two-handed backhand, but be aware, your feet must be well planted before you make this shot or else you will end up off-balance.
9) It is vitally important that you follow through after hitting the ball. You should end looking sort of like the Statue of Liberty with your arm straight aimed towards the net and your racquet above your head.
10) As you hit the ball, you should step into it with the foot that is closest to the net. This foot should end up at about a 45 degree angle to the other foot..
If you use these backhand tips. You should be able to make your backhand one of your best shots instead of worst.
I live in a suburb of Portland, OR. I got my first tennis racquet for Christmas when I was 12. It was a wooden racquet so it would be a museum piece now. We lived close to a tennis court so my brother and I played a lot when we were kids. My backhand was always a sore point, as I know it is for most tennis players. During high school and college there were a lot of other distractions so I didn't get to play much. In my twenties, if I couldn't find anyone to play with, I would go up to the local high school and hit the ball against the wall. I had a stroke a few years ago and that put an end to my playing days.
I know that a lot of people would rather watch demonstrations of a skill than read about it, so I've made a website where I sell links to tennis videos. It's at http://www.tennisbachand.com
I also have a Squidoo site about backhand tips. It's at http://www.squidoo.com/Backhand_Tips My Squidoo lens has a couple of videos that demonstrate some of the above tips.
Four Steps to Improving Your Tennis Game
The origins of the modern game of Tennis (known as Lawn Tennis) trace back to the late 19th century in England. After its initial rise in popularity with the French nobility, tennis spread throughout Europe, becoming particularly popular in England. As in France the game became recognised as the sport of kings. Henry VIII was a very keen player and built a court at his palace in Hampton Court, still used today by Real Tennis enthusiasts.
In those days Tennis was generally played on a natural grass court using wooden racquets strung with cow's gut. Whilst court surfaces and racquet string technology have changed throughout the years, the fundamentals of the game have remained unchanged.
Developing your own game to the best of your ability requires attention to four main areas of the game.
The first area is technique. Technique is simply the method by which one hits the ball, and is the most fundamental aspect of the game. If a player does not possess the skill to be able to hit the ball and have it reach the other side of the net, then there is no possibility to progress to the other areas of the game.
A coach will normally teach a particular technique be applied to the various strokes that can be used in the game, such as the Serve, Volley, forehand and backhand strokes. Technique can also be somewhat individual to the player, depending on their physical stature and natural playing tendencies. Although a coach may teach all of his students the same technique, a player has their own individual style which will eventually shine through. The John McEnroe serve is an example of this.
The next fundamental area of the game of Tennis is playing the ball. Put simply, for every ball that is hit over the net, there is an appropriate shot to be played back. A coach will teach a return shot designed to achieve the best advantage for the player making the shot, and to put the receiving player at the most disadvantage.
The third area is playing the opponent. This area is the observance of the opponent's style and ascertaining strengths and weaknesses in their game. Some left handed players inevitably have a stronger style of play on that side than a right handed player does, whilst others may have a stronger backhand side. Equally some players are stronger on hitting the ball well from the back of the court, but may not be confident approaching the net. Others may have a weak serve accompanied by strong volleying skills, whilst some players may have a well rounded game, without any particular strengths or weaknesses.
The fourth area is where the ball is playing you. This is the most advanced stage of tennis where there is simply focus on the ball and allowing all other three stages to flow naturally. One could say that a tennis player is one who has developed themselves through these four stages of the game and arrived at their natural ability.

Apart form wooden racquets becoming the racquets we have today.
Today's doubles scoring rule in the grand slams is one big change.

There was also the playing routine change where a break right after the first game played was eliminated years ago.
Some hard court and indoor tournaments going for the dark blue look in order to make the game more appealing and for the ball to be clearer for viewers, as well.
Instant replay/point challenges.
