INTRODUCTION<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to a tennis article of this year, only 13 of the top 100 players in the world play with a one-handed backhand, meaning that 87% of players play the double-handed backhand<\/a>. Who doesn’t know Rafa Nadal’s or Novak Djokovic’s two-handed backhand?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what about in the world of padel? How many players do you know who play the two-handed backhand? Or even more, is there any player who always plays the two-handed backhand?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE DOUBLE-HANDED BACKHAND GRIP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although there can be significant differences in the way the different players who play the two-handed backhand can grip the racket, as a general rule we can say that the grip used to play the two-handed backhand is what is known in tennis as the “false two-handed backhand grip”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You perform the grip as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Dominant hand: you will normally use the continental grip, although it can vary to the Australian or even as far as the East forehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Non-dominant hand: very similar to an East forehand for left-handers. This will be the hand that pushes and gives direction to the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n
