No.I know Santoro is right-handed and this is his forehand. But what if he was a lefty? Then this would be his backhand! His left hand on top of the handle. Has anybody tried this for their backhand or know any pro that use this unorthodox grip?
For comparison he has a normal backhand.
Look, if you hit a conventional FH you have your dominant hand on the bottom of the grip. Then you just put your non-dominant hand on top of it and hit a two-handed BH. Now you want it reversed - would make you regrip. Not that impossible, but why? It also shortens the reach.
That is just bunting the ball
Perhaps but doesnt it look like just a limited follow through, like guiding the ball???
You just insulted the Forehand of the Future!!!
Oops. My bad FOF. The way things are going with isner having 27 hour serve fests they will slow the court down even more and bunting will be a winning style.You just insulted the Forehand of the Future!!!
All women in WTA top 10 use two handed backhand. It is obvious that if they could they would play two handed forehand. It would be just stupid to use one hand if you have two. Just think. I have just won 8th tournament since the beginning of May. It was possible because all my opponents used one handed forehand.You just insulted the Forehand of the Future!!!
Best to send the WTA a vid of you winning your tournaments and an offer to fix their game with your 2 hander. You could win coach of the year.
Maybe I should do it. I am just bored to win tournaments doing almost nothing. My opponents are not fighting with me but with their one handed forehands.
Yeah no slams were ever with 1 handed fhs
Before Connors and Borg no slams were won with two handed backhand. If two players use one handed forehand it is obvious that one handed forehand will win. I proved that if one of these players uses two handed forehand he almost always wins if he is not injured and he may win even if he is injured. I did it in my last tournament.
Weird. Did a two handed fh ever win a mans grand slam?
No because strong boys are forbidden to play two handed forehand. Only weak girls were allowed because nobody believed that they could be professional players in the future and that is why Seles and Bartoli won grand slams. Seles said in an interview that she had been so weak that she had to use two hands to hold the racket.
Why didn’t Santoro win any grand slams? His 2hfh should have beaten all those 1hfh players.
It is an easy question. Santoro was never taught to play properly two handed topspin forehand. That is why he used almost always two handed slice. I never use slice if the ball is within the reach of two handed forehand.
If you want to win a grand slam using one handed backhand you should take strong drugs for a long time.What about two handed backhands then? Also for the weak? Real men play one handers
Fedr drugs no way!
Maybe you believe that it is possible to play for 5 hours and still at the end to serve 200 km/h and hit powerful forehands and backhands. There were people who believed that Armstrong was an honest cyclist. Try to find at least one person who believes it now.
Of course I do. Borg did it all the time except with the wooden racquet he didn't serve 200 but the racquet sure was heavy. He proclaimed that he just didn't get tired.
Excuses, excuses, excuses...
You do know that pro tennis is a much different game than rec tennis. What works in rec tennis usually doesnt translate well to pro tennis. For instance lots of waiters tray serves in rec tennis but zero pros hitting a pancake serve.
Moderate pace indeed. Op would beat mac and his 1 handed fh for sure
