Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have used their two-handed backhands to catapult themselves into the roles as arguably the top two players in men’s professional tennis today. Jeff Salzenstein, the former top 100 ATP Tour singles and doubles player and noted tennis instructor, is committed to teaching tennis players how to make this stroke a point-winning weapon in their games.
The former two-time All-American from Stanford University has launched a free four-part video series revealing the solutions to the two-handed backhand which will help players transform this all important shot to give them more spin, power, and control. The powerful video series – The Two-Handed Backhand Solution – is available for a very limited time for free by clicking here: http://www.mailermailer.com/rd?http://jeffsalzensteintennis.com/go/backhandfreevideos.html
“Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have two of the best two-handed backhands in the history of the sport,” said Salzenstein. “It’s a real weapon for them and is a major reason why we will be seeing them continue to be the top two contenders for major championships in the years to come. However, for most players, the two-handed backhand is more of a liability. But, with the proper instruction from me, the two-handed backhand doesn’t have to be your Achilles heel. In my powerful free video series, I will identify the major limitations that keep players from reaching their true potential with their two-handed backhand.”
In the first free video, Salzenstein reveals how players can release the tension out of their hands and arms to create the relaxation needed with the two-handed backhand. In the second free video, Salzenstein shows a very sneaky footwork secret to help players move better laterally. Players want to be able to move more gracefully and explosively through the court especially on the backhand side and Salzenstein shows players exactly how to do it. In the third free video, Salzenstein gives a full lesson on how to handle the dreaded high backhand, a shot many players probably have a really hard dealing with. Finally, in the fourth video lesson, he will make a big announcement to all those who register for the free series.
