No questions for now, but I thought it was a good video for the topic. In my opinion, hitting a forehand has your arm supinate then pronate naturally, I don't need to put any extra effort or thought in to have it occur. On the backhand though, it does not feel natural with the popular grips (maybe a little bit more with my more extreme grip, but I think it's because of my lower (R) hand). Does anyone share the same opinion?

There is hope that WildVolley will watch the videa.
Otherwise we are cooked

I haven't had time to watch the video. I may attempt to sign up and watch this weekend.

My general opinion on this topic is that the limited range of motion and difference in shoulder angles is the main difference between a 2hbh and a left-handed fh. You can ptd with a 2hbh, but the motion is going to look different because of the other hand being on the racket. If this theory is correct, then you should also see a similar difference with players who hit 2 hands on both sides. There aren't many top players on the men's tour doing that today, but there have been in the past. I may look at some of their video if I have the time.

I saw the video mentioned by TheLambsheadrep
The sign up works-I goofed with the signed up FIRST because lack of my computer skills
There is a drill to practice supination followed by pronation
PS The video is "hidden" in the backhand section.
The search engine should help
