In the course you learn:
Backhand grips
Use of the lower body to produce power
Building the brace
Using the brace to transfer power from the ground up
Using the hips
Using your upper body
Learning the right arm swing
Follow through
Aiming with your feet
Learn the building blocks of a backhand throw
Train your backhand standstill
Learn to avoid the common mistakes
In this course you will learn the basics of the backhand throw from a standstill position.
You will start building the base for a successful backhand throw by laying the foundation from the ground up. You will learn to use our lower body and hips to produce the power for the throw. A key point is to identify some common mistakes, so you have some frame of reference when practicing the full motion of a standstill backhand throw.
We will walk you through all the basic grips of backhand throw and learn how to build your grip the right way. You will learn separating the upper and lower body and go through the basics of arm swing and power pocket. We also see what kind of follow through you should have to produce the best result and protect us from injury. We talk about the accelerating speed and relaxed but controlled motion of the throw. We build the whole motion and use exercises to drill in the motions to produce an accurate and repeatable backhand standstill throw.
Be patient, and practice the individual parts before moving forward. This will result in a more efficient, accurate, and safe way to throw a backhand shot.
