The fifth and final step of the two-handed backhand progressions is to start in the ready position, pivot your outside foot and turn your shoulders, and get the racket back to the position we were in in the previous video with the racket cocked up slightly. This completes the loop in your swing, and you now have a "full" two-handed backhand motion.

The first step of the windshield wiper forehand progressions is to modify your swing and follow through. Remember, on a windshield wiper forehand you need to swing up, across the tennis ball more than on a classic forehand. The different swing plane will alter your follow through, causing it to look similar to how a windshield wiper blade moves across a windshield.
