Drop the Arms and Lock In
Marat Safin and David Nalbandian demonstrate the fully dropped position of the
two handed backhand. Their shoulders have slightly uncoiled while their left hitting
arm has dropped below the level of the ball and completely straightened. Their hands
have flexed down to get the racket to point down to the ground at a 45 degree angle.
They have completely shifted their weight onto their front leg. See how their front knee
is slightly bent.
It is important that the butt of the racket faces forward and the strings of the racket face
the left side fence.
