1. Use your wrist. To practice using your wrist for a two-handed backhand, have a partner toss balls short and low from the other side of the net. You can attempt to return the balls right in front of him or her in order to get a feel for wrist movement.
2. Practice gripping the racquet in different ways. There are many different types of grips in tennis, so practice holding your racquet in different ways. Your two-handed backhand will benefit from you finding the perfect way to hold your racquet.
3. Lift weights. Although tennis is more about agility, speed, and footwork than strength, having a strong body does not hurt. Your two-handed backhand will literally be stronger, as you will hit the ball with more force.
4. Have a partner or ball machine send balls solely to your backhand. By simple repetition, you can greatly improve your two-handed backhand in tennis. To improve your accuracy and help your friend out, try to return the ball to the area where he or she needs practice as well.
5. Try treating forehand shots as if they were backhand shots. If your forehand does not need much work, try using your two-handed backhand for all back court rallies. Just make sure that you do not completely neglect practicing with your forehand. And make sure that you do not make this so much of a habit that you overdo backhand shots during matches or tournaments.
