Advice on jump two handed backhands?

Question

i am an 18 year old in college who plays tennis very seriously (not for the team though), and i was trying to get some advice on how to hit a jump two-handed backhand. if you have any tips on how to do a good, powerful, and flat jump two handed backhand, i'd definitely like to hear it, it'd be much appreciated.

also, do you have any videos of professionals hitting jump two handed backhands, i was searching on youtube and it was really hard to find, although i did see a video of roger federer do one which was interesting and kind of funny.

thanks for all your help!

Hitting any shot while in the air can be difficult and is actually not ideal for hitting a hard, well placed shot. It's best to remain grounded when hitting any shot because when your stable you have more power and better accuracy. This is the  reason why you will not find a private instructor teaching people to hit "jump two handed backhands". You will occasionally see pro's hit a shot while in the air because there is either not enough time to adjust to the ball or because they are trying to take the ball early to throw off their opponent. And unless you have major talent, its best to leave those "jump" shot to the pro's.

Here's the deal.  To get the best two-handed backhand, you don't want to jump.  You'll have much better control if you keep yourself with a solid base on the ground.  It's easier to be consistent with it, and the weight transfer is more efficient.

If you have a solid, normal, backhand from the baseline, you should be able to adapt it to an aggressive driving approach shot pretty easily, even if you have to jump.  Just concentrate on keeping the same basic form as your regular groundstroke.  Getting the timing is the hardest part, and that just comes with practice.

If you want a powerful you are going to want to hit it flat but for more consistency your going to want to put topspin on it but of course you already knew that. When you are bringing your racket back your going to push up with your front leg, whichever that happens to be and then bring your back leg in and thats basically the structure-ness of it... lol

most of everything else will just come to you once you have practiced it. It makes amazing angles that like totally don't even exist :D but i guess they do since you can make them. they are amazinggg winners when you get them down at the serviceline:D
