Difficulty? Convert Original Righty->Lefty?

[265lbSampras]

Hi! I'm an original right-handed tennis player,
I know how to hit the ball with right-hand, but not all that great...
I saw Rafa Nadal play one day, got me thinkin I understood that lefty hav the upper advantage in tennis. Wondering how difficult will be converting righty tennis tooo lefty tennis?

I've hit the court once or twice, but my father found that lefty fore-hand was just the same as my righty, if not lacking just a little. My lefty back-hand seemed to be fine, found natural for me really.
HERE IS MY BIG PROBLEM!!! I'M A BELOW BEGINNER'S LEVEL WHEN IM SERVING WITH MY LEFTY!!!

If I'm going committ to achieveing this task you think I should get myself a tennis coach? Or Practice Practice Practice???


lol- imagine this... if i master my lefty tennis, and keep my righty tennis at an average level, OMG! I would totally be like that guy whats his face "Prince of tennis!!!"

Ummm... no ?

Really... I mean a good righty will still beat a not as good lefty in the majority of cases....

If you have time to try and "learn" to become a lefty then take that time to improve yourself as a righty.

well serving is the most difficult part. the motion itself doesn't feel natural with your dominant hand so it's gonna feel really weird with your non-dominant side. i tried this before and my back was so twisted up and there was next to no fluidity at all. you can try if you like, i will eventually just cause i think it's neat and in case injury won't let me play righty in the future, but never assume it's gonna be a walk in the park for this unless you're naturally ambidextrix
