Movement of the Racket on a Two Handed Backhand

The turn or movement of the racket on a two handed backhand!

The turn or racquet position before the drop of the head to the low point of the backswing. The racquet handle rest on the side of the hip with the head of the racquet about shoulder height and the strings tilted slightly down. The left hand is next to the right hand and left arm bent to accommodate the two handed grip. The racquet drops in a circular fashion to the low point of the backswing strings down. This movement allows the player to develop rhythm and momentum as the racquet falls to the bottom of its ark. The racquet then continues up and through to the intended target. This movement should be continuous and fluid until the racquet stops at the finish. The step with the right foot should take place as the racquet drops to the low point of the backswing. The body starts to sit down as in a chair and then starts up and forward as you contact the ball. The racquet continues to the follow through.
