Talk Tennis - View Single Post - Back forth between backhands -- a call for one handed backhand players

I don't actually strive for symmetry on both wings. I use an Eastern backhand grip. My backhand is definitely hit with less topspin, but it is more penetrating. I can hit loopier balls with heavier topspin, but it just doesn't work well for me in matches. I just go through it less and brush up more, with less forward weight transfer.
