Don't really have a favourite... it's just like him hitting backhands which look the same... the videos show him hitting from different angles. I'll try to upload them in a RAR folder....

I attempted at hitting a two handed backhand last week with my 2 handed tennis friends, and i actually hit a winner. But it was seriously so uncomfortable. One handed is just better for me. I find it a lot easier to flick the wrist and hit a dipping passing shot winner.
Benchwarmer1

i a really lost, because i actually feel comfortable hitting both and i hit the one hander with my instinct and the two hander with my PD+ just b/c i can't hit a one hander well with my PD+. so is it good to practice both or not? Confused Confused
Benchwarmer1

Enjoy Mr. Green

No, use one or the other. They're so different, if you use both, you're going to get mixed up.

I'm in the same position as you leftys. I can't hit a two-hander without feeling pain in my left wrist. I also tend to hit a two-hander (when I just experiment with it) in the one-hander contact point.

Exactly, which doesn't make it very effective at all. Too far out in front. I don't feel pain or anything when I hit a two hander, just my right arm is just THERE. Because you're supposed to hit it like a forehand with your other arm but the dominant arm is the power, I just can't hit a righty forehand. The right arm is just hanging on for dear life.

I don't have a problem with my left arm. I am no Sharapova, but my years hitting a double handed backhand, I have no trouble hitting a leftys forehand. I can't say I hit winners, but I can get it over the net easily, and can aim some.

I find it a little disappointing that my right arm is nonexistant in tennis. I am ambidextrous in many activities, this is one of the few that I am not. I finally taught myself how to do throw and kick left handed(which is odd because I am a lefty) but before, I only knew how to throw and kick righty. And I still write lefty though(I can write a bit of Chinese right handed).

don't worry about, i can use my left hand on the backhand, but is is almost useless in other things like basketball, i always get some crap from other ppl just b/c i can't make a lefty lay-up Crying or Very sad well, i can't make layups period, but that's beside the point.

Don't worry, you're not alone, benchwarmer. My talent level in basketball is 0. Rolling Eyes I'm not really ambidextrous. I don't use my lefthand at all for athletic activities (besides catching with my left hand playing goalie in hockey, in which my left hand is quite quick, but that's not really ambidextrous).

Jimmy Connors has a commercial on TTC. it is about his new DVD's. they are supposed to be the 'most complete instructional videos ever created'. tennis players that he gets to help him explain things include Evert, Austin, Henin-Hardenne, Blake, Segura, and the Bryan brothers.
