It's actually very inefficient, but it is effective for some people. Unfortunately, that won't work for everyone because they need to be more efficient. You can't always be more fit than your opponent.
So almost never? That's how most people, including you from your videos and the way you talk about the game, play. I think I could agree on that; using the two handed forehand almost never.
If I say that two handed forehand should be used the same as smash and volley I just try to be nice. I know that this thread was a great shock for one handed players. We cant be surprised that they cant accept the thought that they use outdated technique. Their only known argument against two handed forehand was the reach. Now they watch my videos and they see that there is no problem with the reach. On the very fast surface I play almost all balls using two handed forehand. They see how my opponents are forced to run when I play great angles. They try to atack me but they know that I win almost everything. Since the beginning of May I have won 40 matches in tournaments on national level and lost only 3(In one of them I was in the lead 6:0 1:0 so I could win). It is excellent result. If two handed forehand was not the reason it would mean that I have some other extraordinary abilities. We should add that I not only use "inferior" forehand but also I dont use split step(I dont jump like a goat) and I have an injured right wrist. It is dominant hand. How is it possible to achieve so great success if even one of these problems could destroy chance for success in tennnis if it concerned other person ?
... but you didn't, so you can't say that you could have won.
You have been told numerous times many different reasons.
One of my favorite sayings comes to mind when you keep bringing this up... if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Most people don't have a disabled one hand, most people don't have a broken forehand, so there's no need to try and fix them. Tweak and improve, sure, but not fix.
As bad as this joke was, I'm sad to say that it actually did make me laugh a little. I guess this thread has been worth it for this small moment of laughter.
RF wasn’t born deformed. You did, that’s why you used two handed forehands!
I agree. Roger Federer was born without deformation of forearm. He deformed it using one handed forehand.
I actually enjoy this discussion at times though. I've taken breaks a couple times and others have continued it, then I decide to jump back in for a while. He spews a ton of nonsense, but it can still be fun sometimes.
Why are you vulgar ?First time he lost it was when somebody called him a cwel
It is your word. It was in your head. I see that it is still there.Sorry GD. Won't say that word again. Really upsets you huh?
Except Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic all hit the ball that way as well, so you are seeming delusional if you think they are winning because of their technique. Besides, increased racquet head speed doesn't necessarily mean less control. In fact, it often means more control due to having greater ease of moving the ball and the added spin as well as the increased confidence in the swing. Winning matches is usually about forced errors, not unforced errors or winners. Nobody wins matches with winners, even when they are treeing with their "modern" technique. You really seem to not understand the modern game of tennis.
I dont say that you were the first to use it. You reminded it without any reason. You tried to be vulgar. You thought about it before you wrote. Now it will not be so easy for you to throw it out of your head. You infected your memory.Nope not my word. Check post #844. I do not think ill of you at all. I just mentioned that post when somebody called you that to prove that your are actually human
It is obvious that if I could hit the ball with greater speed with the same control I would do it. The problem is that more speed means less control. If we presented the dependence of the control on the speed of the racket on the graph at first increasing the speed would result in increasing of control. But from some speed increasing the speed would result in decreasing of control. We shouldnt exceed that speed.
You wanted to talk about vulgarity so I do what you want. I dont know why you wanted it.Just to prove that GD does not ever listen. And he has quite a fertile mind
Correct, we shouldn't exceed that speed on most shots. Sometimes it is worth the risk, but not on the average shot. However, that speed is different for every player. For professional players, that speed is leaps and bounds ahead of what you and I are doing. They do not lack control (for the most part). They can play just as consistent as you when they want/need to, they just choose not to, plus they can do it with much greater speeds and spins.
Lol, you should look at some of their legs... it's impressive, way more impressive than yours or mine.
But they dont bend it as they should. Probably they have some problems with the knees. I think. It would explain why they dont use their legs.
Except you can see countless videos and pictures of players hitting forehands while in mid-air, no legs touching the ground at all... you kind of have to use your legs to do that.
You have just proved that they not only dont bend their legs., they dont even have contact with the ground. Maybe we revealed main reason of great crisis in tennis. When I try to lower the position of the body coaches force young players to jump before the stroke. Probably they try to imitate goats. Now we understand why jumping like a goat spread all over the world. This "goat" technique is the reason why old players still are the best. They just dont jump that high like young players. Their legs are not strong enough to do it.
I see you still want to talk about vulgarity. Maybe you should talk with "Jannick". He likes to be vulgar too.
I dont understand you. You begin discussion about vulgarity and now you complain that we talk about it. I am confused. What did you expect when you wrote first comment about vulgarity ?
Have you ever watched Federer, Nadal, or Djokovic play? They are jumping, and their legs are massive. And you kinda need to bend your legs in order to jump. And the jump is part of the stroke, it's not like a volleyball serve where the jump and swing are completely separate motions. The jump forces players to use their legs more than you ever could if you leave them on the ground.
I bend my legs to be more stable . Not to jump.
Again with your stability. Most people don't have an issue with stability the way you seem to. Besides, the ball must not feel your whole body if you aren't using your legs to drive into the ball and are only using them for stability; the ball must only be feeling your upper body on your forehand, compared to the entire body with a "modern" "goat-jumping" one-handed forehand.
You revealed the reason why two handed forehand is the future of tennis. In so called "modern" one handed "goat-jumping" forehand the ball feels only upper half of the body but in modern two handed forehand it "feels" the whole body. This great advantage cant be minimized by greater speed of the racket.
Dogs can jump but they are not stupid enough to jump that high like goats.
The ball is an inanimate object. It has no feelings.
