I'm going for the 2 handed down the line back hand

 

[Dissident]

I love when he does that jumping movement to catapult his shot on the backhand (Rios does that a lot too): BANG!

His serve is great too.

when he hits backhand down the line....

 

[Allie]

some of his diving crosscourt shots

I like it when Marat jumps up to hit a backhand from behind the baseline and kicks his right leg out. That's so unique! And I've seen Anna Kournikova do the same thing! I think it's a Moscow thing!

I also like hearing Cliff Drysdale question why Marat does that! Insinuating he doesn't need to do that.

This is a tough one. I love all of Marat's shots- serve, forehand, and backhand. His backhand down the line is a thing of beauty! I really think its his signature shot. I also love the jumping backhand, i think it looks cool and i love it when Marat does it!

 

[Dissident]

I guess that jumping stuff helps on the body weight transfer. It should add juice to the shot.
I said I GUESS...
Oh well, its cool anyway.

 

[Jessi]

Apparently John MacEnroe doesn't think its very cool. He thinks its a dumb shot. Every time Marat does it, he always says, 'look at this, he's kicking his leg up like a horse..' hehehe

That's right Jessi. Tennis experts aren't as impressed with Marat's "kicking like a horse" backhand shot as we are!
But the animal experts are!

 

[Jessi]

tennis experts are idiots! They wouldn't know what a good shot was even if it him them in the ass!

 

[the cat]

Oh Jessi! I've never seen you so offensive minded!

Jessi, did you get the tape yet? I sent Sharky in Vancouver a mailing on Friday and she got it by Tuesday. I was shocked she got it so fast!

 

[Jessi]

LOL! I think i've been reading too many of Becca's posts! (j/k)

No, i haven't received the tape yet!

 

[Dissident]

Lol, Poor Becca!

Indeed tennis experts usually are dumb.

 

[Jessi]

Poor Becca? But i meant as a compliment! :kiss:

 

[Dissident]

Oh, ok then... You better not mess with sister whale.
lol

 

[King Aaron]

I like Marat's kicking like a horse backhand too !!!

 

[kazblah]

I like marat's backhand, itz so powerful.

 

[marilag]

C'mon, guys, John McEnroe once said that Marat "is the real deal".

And my favorite shot is, of course, that fabulous crosscourt backhand.

 

[drf716]

His two-handed forehands that usually are passing shots and lobs. And his drop shots when they work.

Plus his football shots...does that count)?

 

[Shadow]

Well i love all his shots, but especially his backhand down the line, the beautyqueen of beautyness.
