The purpose of this study was to identify the kinematic characteristics of backhand stroke using the single hand and both hands by analyzing their kinematic factors, accuracy and ball speed using the 3-dimensional image analysis of single-hand backhand stroke and both-hand backhand stroke and identify the favorable backhand stroke method in single-hand and both-hand backhand strokes. For this purpose, this study attempted to conduct a comparative analysis for six male high school tennis players. As a result, it was found that the group of the single-hand backhand stroke was longer at the phases of backswing, impact and follow-through than the both-hand backhand stroke. At the phases of backswing and impact in the speed of the racket, the both-hand backstroke group was faster in the directions of 'X' and 'Y' than the single-hand backstroke group. The single-hand backhand group was shown to be faster in a 'Y' direction. At the phase of follow-through, the single-hand backhand stroke group was shown to be faster in the directions of 'X' and 'Z'. The both-hand backstroke group was found to be faster in a direction of 'Y'. The single-hand backhand stroke group was found to have the faster speed of the racket at the time of impact. The both-hand backhand group was found to be faster in the directions of 'X' and 'Y'. The both-hand backhand stroke group showed a greater change in the rotational angle of the shoulder than the single-hand backhand stroke group at the phases of backswing, impact and follow-through. The single-hand backhand stroke group showed the greater rotational angle of the thigh at the time of backswing. The both-hand backhand stroke group showed a greater change in the rotational angle of the thigh at the phases of impact and follow-through. The single-hand backhand stroke group showed the greater angle of the wrist than the both-hand backhand stroke group at the time of impact. And it was found that there was no significant difference in accuracy and ball speed between both groups of single-hand and both-hand backhand stroke on the down-the-line and the cross.
