And that is a fact that applies directly to the OP.

As to this issue, imo it's just that weaker players don't go with the 1 hander, as
it is harder overall....partly due to the misunderstandings about how to coach it.
Just look to the other thread going on 1 handers and you can see so many posting
about it and don't have a clue how to teach it
Stronger players may go with the 1 or 2 hander, as they can do what they like
in the sport...at least compared to their peers. Among the better players, likely the
numbers are more evenly split??
