I am a 4.0 looking to get to 4.5 and my regular partners are 4.5 level(lucky me). I have a two hand backhand and a good one hand slice but due to age I sometimes have trouble when I am extended running to hit my two hander. By the time I get to the ball I don't have enough time to turn my hips for a powerful enough shot. I can slice it but my technique breaks down a bit when I am on a full run under pressure. I understand that I could improve my slice using my regular continental grip with better timing but wondered if my slice would have more pace using a Thiem backhand grip for a slice(index knuckle on bevel 2 with hammer grip). Similar to a Rosewall slice if I'm not mistaken where take back is below the shoulder?
