1HBH or 2HBH?

[rockthebox]

Just copying the "How many of you have 1HBH and 2HBH?" thread, this time with a poll to make things easier :wink:

2HBH but 1HBH for slice

[brayman9]

Pure 1!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FEDEX1]

just switched from a 2-hander to a 1-hander recently. 2-hander wasnt working out so after thinking about it for a while i decided to switch to a pure 1

[brayman9]

Pure 1 your two hander wasn't bad

[FEDEX1]

i've been shanking a lot of balls. im not positive if im changing either i should have said im pure 1 for now but i might change back to my old 2 hander. once i see my coach again im gonna ask him which would be better for my game

[Tanner77]

i like both, my reasons are on other thread but i'll keep this short.

1hbh-->more angle (hardly any spin) very easy slice

2hbh-->less angle lots more power and spin slice is suicide this way lol.

[Voltron]

I have a topspin 2HBH and a slice 1HBH.

[sharapovafreak]

i have a two handed backhand but i keep my left hand on the handle so i can slice it but i let it go to slice or drop shot it.

[princess bossass]

I'd kind of like to see it broken down by gender, just out of curiosity.

[saram]

2HBH but 1HBH for slice

same applies here...

[saram]

i'm a dude...if that helps break it down...

[Justin]

I have a stronger two handed BH, but occasionally I use a one handed BH.

[dunlopfan]

I have a 2HB for everything except slice, volleys, and dropshots.

[lilxjohnyy]

i think the one hand backhand is more powerful because two hand is limited. but i dont kno... like forehand , would it be more powerful one hand or two. i think one

[Adrupert]

One handed backhands are definitely more powerful.

[Alex132]

One handed backhands are definitely more powerful.

lol what....topspin, well yeah...power...NOT. 2 HBH is a lot more power

[rockthebox]

lol what....topspin, well yeah...power...NOT. 2 HBH is a lot more power

It ALL depends on the player
Fed's 1HBH is much more powerful than many other tour players' 2HBH

[tbini87]

i don't think it is much of a stretch to say that most 2hbh'ers use the 1hbh to hit a slice...

[dave333]

I had a decent 1 hander going while my wrist was broken but my 2bh really is much better.

[nickb]

1HBH for me

[gerikoh]

both.
if i go for powerplays and slices, i use 1hand
but for control and stability esp with the return of serve, i use 2hands

[PimpMyGame]

Traditional 1HBH all the way.

My son is coached to do a 2HBH but he thinks the 1HBH looks cooler so he tries that with considerable success. I'm very impressed that a 9 year old wants to play attractive tennis!

[pNoyr3D]

When I first strated playing tennis I was taught a 2 handed backhand, I really couldn't get a hang of it. I have been using a one handed backhand for around a year now and am loving it, I am able to get a lot of power (racquet head speed), and tons of spin. The thing I love about one handed backhands is that the angles you can create with them. I am able to hit easy winners with very short angles by just flicking the wrist.

Definitely one hand, also look's cooler ;)

[gerikoh]

its better to return a serve with two handed backhands coz it makes you more stable thus the recoil is reduced thus producing more control.. but for a second serve, simply return with a single backhand and attack your opponent >:)

[stevekim8]

i do 2 hbh most of the times now, but when i'm close to the service line, and i get a chance to finish the point with a winner, i use 1hbh, because it's easier that way

[chaudryoma]

I used 2 handed for 9 years and started getting bored and start using 1 handed.
EVERYONE KNOWS 1 HANDED SLICE IS FUN!
So now im good with both and use them. My dad tells me to stick with 2 handed tho o.O

[RVCTennis]

I have a topspin 2HBH and a slice 1HBH. ditto to that

[samprasbackhand]

I used to do 2HBH for topspin 1HBH everything else, but I recently switched to pure 1HBH because I think it looks better, and it's just more fun to rip 1HBH's then 2HBH's

[Gantz]

i can just rip away at the ball with a 1hbh. i prefer topspin but will slice it just to change the rhythm of the rally. and to also piss off my opponents.

[redsoxrock930]

My 1 hander kicks ass now

[federer envies me]

2HBH but 1HBH for slice

same for me

[soyizgood]

This is the first time I've seen 2HBH defeat the 1HBH in a poll here. WOW!

[libiss]

Most of the time I'll use a 1BH. Sometimes I might use a 2bh depends where i'm at on the courts. also I'm tryign to add more TS on my 1bh

[quest01]

I have a topspin 2HBH and a slice 1HBH.

Same for me.

[adams_1]

Yep, 2 hander most of the time, 1 handed slice. Slice is great fun, innit?

[rum02]

1 hander topspin, 2 hander slice. not really. pure 1 hander, I think it is (atleast for me) technically superior in every way to the two hander apart from maybe stability. does anyone slice with a 2-hander? that would be really awkward.

[Seifersquall1]

I have a pure 1hb :D

[andyluong2001]

I hit 1 hander but i slice a looooot! wen im on my backhand is pretty good.

[ChuDat]

i have a pure 2hbh.

[757tennis]

i think that i grip the racquet on a 2HBH wrong cause i keep my right(dominate) hand in my forehand grip which is semi western, is this wrong?

[757tennis]

its more fun to rip 1HBH's it feels so smooth

[Bundey]

i think that i grip the racquet on a 2HBH wrong cause i keep my right(dominate) hand in my forehand grip which is semi western, is this wrong?

Yes, you should put your right hand at continental.

[north4t]

or you could have it eastern
