No problem. Too bad I can't use them, since I hit a one-hander.
Justine, Amelie, and Federer videos then. I seriously play SO MUCH better on that end after watching them play. (especially after watching the Wimbledon finals)
what's wrong with the Gasquet one?
well, i am trying to use both backhands, does that sound weird? anyway i like doing both so i will continue unless there is something wrong with that...
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.
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). _________________ www.freewebs.com/tenniswallpapers by myself and x.doublea

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 well, i can't make layups period, but that's beside the point. _________________ A fan of "that French backhand dude"

Don't worry, you're not alone, benchwarmer. My talent level in basketball is 0. 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). _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
Yeah, my friend has a two handed forehand. My right arm is just so uncoordinated. I can't dream of it.
I know, I was joking (literally two hands kind of thing)
I was only born with one hand...not
Silly me. Do you have a 2 handed backhand? _________________ www.freewebs.com/tenniswallpapers by myself and x.doublea

Justine's serve is really one to model after... obviously, she's doing something right, hitting 110mph + serves at 5'5". _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
