Backhand

One movement, in three parts.

Building the Backhand

Principle

The body leads the stroke; the racket follows.

It's one movement rather than three separable pieces, which is why the backhand gets a single page where the forehand needed three. The order inside it is what matters — the body goes first and the racket follows.

Where This Happens

These are private lessons.

Which means the pace is set by the player rather than by a class — a concept takes as long as it takes, and nobody moves on before the one underneath it holds up.
