    The one-handed backhand and the three surfaces

    I have a big Fedal bias and feel that the oney was especially vulnerable on clay. Did a quick glance at the respective total point won percentage: Federer: Grass>Hard>Clay Dimitrov: Grass>Hard>Clay Eubanks: Grass>Hard>Clay Karlovic: Grass>Hard>Clay Copil: Grass>Hard>Clay Lopez: Grass>Hard>Clay...

    Why don't more (any?) players...

    ...use a two-handed backhand for return of serve, and then switch to a one-hander during rallies? This idea grew out of another thread, and it may not make great sense to you, but I'm throwing it out there. Assuming a player - whether recreational or pro - can hit both a one-hander and a...

    Volkl V1 Classic for one-handed backhand

    1HBH takeback/backswing: Straight arm or bent arm?

On the takeback or backswing, would it be better to keep the arm straight from the beginning? Or have it a little bent, and straighten it out before contact? Obviously...

    Nadal's worst nightmare? One-hander on natural surfaces

    and the more natural one, the worse for Nadal... There is common view that one-handers are somehow handicaped when playing Rafa (because of his FH) and that this handicap is even greater on clay. What is the true? One-handers in general have just a little better winning percentage against...

    Could Wawrinka Shorten His Take-back?

    First and foremost, I am a huge admirer of Wawrinka's one-handed backhand. If his ability on his backhand side does not astonish you enough yet, look no further than: However, I am also an avid student of the game who is always looking for knowledge to improve my game. So, I would love to...
