2 handed forehand + 1 handed backhand: Never seen before combo?

[theagassiman]

I use a two handed forehand (right hand at bottom) and a one handed slice backhand. I was just reading up on two-handed forehand players, and it seems that none of them have 1 hbh.

So would my claim of having a never before seen two handed forehanded and 1 hbh be legit?

You are not the only one.

A girl at my club used to do this but after playing for 4 years she switch to the complete reverse

LOL she did that? Was it really difficult? :shock:

You dont have a one handed backhand. You have a one handed backhand slice.
And a lot of players use two hands and still use one hand on the slice. It gives more spin and gives you extra reach when you are stretched out

sounds like a lefty...ever seen nadal play?..lol

It is difficult, I tried doing it and I tend to make more errors so i just reverted to 2h backhand

Apparently you didn't read very much -- or maybe you limited your reading to the latest pros. Google Pancho Segura.

Pancho Segura is the most famous example. He achieved with, lightning-fast hands, a normal one-handed backhand with right hand at the base of the grip, while his two-handed forehand which was reckoned the hardest stroke of the small racquet era was played with his left hand at the bottom and right on top (Metzler, Styles and Stylists, pg. ninety-eight).

I have both as well. I use one handed mostly on med, low balls and two handed on some high-medium to high balls.

OP has a one handed bh slice, not a one handed backhand per se.

Does the OP not drive /topspin with the backhand at all.

I don't get what you mean. Do you have a 2hbh and 1hbh slice? If so, that's pretty normal and a 2hfh would be odd, but not unheard of. Or do you have no flat/topspin backhand and a 1hbh slice? If that's the case, then it just means that you're undeveloped as a player and would have to learn how to do a flat backhand.

i've been playing with a 1hbh top spin/slice and 2HFh since i was little but i've change to a 1 hander for the fh about 1 year ago cus coach said it would help me win more comps cus i like net rushing. At first i was so upset and kept putting my other hand on my fh when my coach;s not looking but then i kept getting nagged about it so eventually it went away and i lost a good fh. but now my 1 hander is reasonably good now so im all happy. still i sometimes use the 2 hander when i ball is aimed at my body.

i've noticed that most people that have a 2 handed forehand, have a big 2 handed backhand on average.
