Beidhändige Rückhand Griff

Die neusten Neuigkeiten sind das nicht. Beste Beispiele sind Bjorn Borg in den 80ern und Jim Courier in den 90ern; allerdings mit technisch recht Unterschiedlicher Ausprägung. Safins Rückhand mit Continental/Eastern hat auch noch etwas davon. Bei einigen guten Herren-30ern sieht man das manchmal auch noch.

Das hier passt ganz gut:

If you take another look at that tape showing Borg's backhand, you'll notice that (besides the "strong" Eastern backhand grip with his right hand), his LEFT ELBOW position at the end of his backswing in not emulated by any pro I can think of today. At the end of his backswing, Borg's left elbow was accutely bent (chicken wing style) and together with the 12:00 tip of his racquet face, it pointed towards the back fence.

Though Leyton Hewitt holds the racquet much further from his body than Borg, and that Hewitt has a rigid, stiff-armed look to his backhand (as opposed to Borg's elbow bending backswing), I would suggest his backhand as closest to Borg when you consider the overall SWING PATHS of those two pros. Hewitt, like Borg did not have a looping "circular" motion, nor did he have the "semi-straight" takeback that you see with Moya, Roddick, etc. Hewitt imho has the most pronounced "banana" shaped swing path, i.e. the racquet drops downward at the beginning of the backswing and rises at the end of the backswing; it drops as it starts the foreward swing ('neath the ball for topspin) and finishes high. Think of the swing path (from start to finish) as: "down-up; down-up." Some of the Russians (Kafelnikov and Safin) have a slight "banana" shape in their backhands (esp. when they want to put a little "spinnage" on the ball).

In summary, Borg's backhand included a very strong Eastern grip with the right hand, a very good/deep knee-bend (e.g. J.C. Ferrero) and that "chicken wing" left elbow at the tail end of the backswing. By the way, check out Borg's followthough (when he had time to set up and "let it go" -- it was actually a double loop over his head, in a circular pattern much like a rodeo star swinging a larriet above his head, preparing to "throw" it. When rushed, Borg's followthrough was an abbreviated "flip" to the right side of his body. - http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=13282 - #9

Noch was interessantes dazu:

Great analysis of the Borg backhand but don’t forget that he experimented with different grips on his backhand. If you look at pictures when he first came on tour he had a ‘baseball grip’ with one hand on top of the other, then for a while he had an interlocking backhand grip where the ring & pinky of the left hand rested on top of the index and middle of the right hand. With the interlocking grip his backhand was very defensive and he did more running around his backhand. Then he went back to his baseball grip and made his backhand more of a weapon. Yup I’m a fan and a collector (Not a big one though) and as a kid I got one important instruction from Lennart at a central
park clinic with Bjorn years ago, he said to make your passing shots more effective hold your shot till the player stops or commits to one side.
