Tennis drill: backhand exercise

If you are right-handed stand sideways to the net with your right shoulder facing your opponent. This way you are at the right angle to give power.
Drop your racket behind your body at the moment you turn your body. This way you use your hips and shoulders to give power to your stroke.
During the swing, keep the arm extended and wrist stable. The elbow is slightly bent at the moment of impact because then you can give the ball direction and, if you want, a spin.
Hit the ball when it reaches the height of your front hip. Be sure to move your feet toward the ball and put your weight on your front leg as you strike.

Left-handers stand with left shoulder facing the opponent.
You can also practice this exercise well against a wall.
