Doc's Tip of the Evening -- Two handed BH stance

If you have a two handed backhand, the easiest foot stance to use on a ball hit towards the sideline is the OPEN stance. The key is to get your outside foot(if facing the net) behind the ball or back at a substantial angle to the baseline. This stance allows you to prepare quicker than a closed stance and gives you more distance space from your body to contact the ball. Remember to load the back leg or outside foot so you can turn your hips when starting your swing. bhut
