    The trainer taught me two fisted backhand as a child but I stopped playing until 2 years ago and I improved dramatically .. when I got back I was having a lot of problems with my backhand because of the grip(Western backhand[I didn't know how I got that grip.. lol]) so I just decided to change...

    Volley Help!

    Same as me .. I changed my racket to a head light racket si there's no delayed swing and it worked .. just keep your eye on the ball, keep moving, anticipate and keep the swing simple and basic .. I'm not a seasoned player yet but these things worked for me

    Thinking about switching to 2HBH...

    I switched from 1hbh(Justine henin style) to 2hbh(serena style) .. regrets: no because I'm starting to win more, sad: yes because i love the power that the 1hbh.. conclusion: 2hbh is more of a defensive stroke for me and 1hbh is more of a killing stroke for me I use 1hbh when the ball is a high...

    What do do when overpowered?

    Play smart .. that's what you can do .. If you're battling someone who powers everything .. give him a good cross court side spin drop then topspin lob or drive it on the open court.. Try your best to open the court and make him run around

    unforced error problems?

    When I step into court I'm very confident and pretty consistent and powerful but once I made a mistake. Like a double fault or a fairly easy ball and I somehow manage to make an error, my game spirals downhill. This mostly happens in doubles because I'm scared my partner is getting mad at me...

    Open stance 2HBH?

    Well.. everyone say that my 1hbh is a beautiful shot when properly readied and positioned for. They usually compare it with Justine Henin and WWawrinka. The thing is my 1hbh topspin has no defensive. My 2hbh is very defensive. This confusion between my 1hbh and 2hbh has been holding me...

    Open stance 2HBH?

    Haha.. I can actually put directions with the open stance .. I can go cross court, down the line and the offhand cross court(which is my favorite shot with my forehand and backhand) My close stance are very readable because my trainer, when I was 8, taught me that I should point my foot...

    Is it possible to do that? I feel really uncomfortable doing the close stance and my mom wants me to change the open stance to close stance It's not that I'm trying to imitate the Williams' backhand, though it's really similar. And are there any other players who use open stance 2HBH...
