Bent-straight on high balls

[roartt]

Anyone have any tips on hitting bent-straight 2HBH on high bouncing balls? i'm having trouble finding the sweetspot and maintaining balance, espescially on down the line shots, seems impossible . I haven't found any high bouncing backhands in the video archive? Is the neutral stance the best choice for high bouncing 2HBH shots?

Thanks. Are there any shots of when stepping into the ball?

The basic solution on high balls is to play open-yes higher level players can cross step and handle them but that is very advanced.

Did you try to mimick the Nabaldian's footwork from videos listed above?

To adavanced for me i suppose. It's easier for me to take it very earlie in half-volley rather then letting it bounce very high and step in or hit it moving back.
