Two Handed Both Sides

Just like anything, some players play better tennis with two hands. (The two-handed backhand is the dominant stroke among pros...and, at last check, I think they were all pretty healthy!)

Even as it isn't quite apples to apples, isn't it funny how golfers use two hands? Baseball players? Hockey players? Cricket players? (Okay, cricket is a stretch!)

The only reason anyone would make fun of something is because: 1. they don't understand it; 2. they are shallow; (because of #1, probably!), or 3. they are predjidiced. (Again, probably because of #1!)

As a coach and teaching professional for 35 years, I can say that the stroke not only has merit, it can be taken to the highest level of the sport.

And this is said by a professional who indeed hits one-handed on both sides.

@ coaching mastery

how much information has your book Tennis Mastery only on two handed forehand? Just a few pages or more?


and to all people:

which racquet would u suggest for 2HFH and 2HBH for a recreational player?

Now I have two racquets: Babolat Pro AeroDrive Cortex and Head Radical Microgel OS

which one would be better?

I have around 7 pages or so on the two-handed forehand including a little history, diversity in grips, and a very in-depth step-by-step progression and model form. I do believe it is the most in-depth study of the stroke of any book available.

Also, check out the feature articles on TennisOne that I've done.

Good luck!

P.S. The stick you use is not as important as the technique you master...until you master it! Then the stick can be important. Most two-handers on both side like the longer frames. But, remember, you also have to use the same stick on the serve and volley too!
