Two years ago, I introduced the Extended Two-Hand Backhand (E2HBH) to the forum. I finally made a video of actually hitting the shot, demonstrated for a right-hander. Its particularly useful for >40 players who never achieved a great two-hander – lacking power, or requiring excess muscular effort. The E2HBH is different.
Stroke is smooth, with longer, extended hitting zone, no more muscular effort than a left-hand forehand! You can hit the shot harder than your forehand, with more control and racquet face stability, as you can hit with confidence and stay really loose! The longer radius from sweet spot, as measured with the dominant left-arm for right handers, also helps with racquet face velocity. The shot so much stronger than my forehand, and used when I wish to hit a killer shot off my backhand side. I’m well into my 60’s, and playing looser than ever.
After watching the videos, I’m working to improve consistency for a greater low-to-high motion for both forehand and backhand, and even windshield wiper effect, starting with higher backswing to attain more racquet speed.
Video capture of Extended Two-Hand Backhand, and One-Hand "Left-Hand" Forehands. just 30 seconds
The Extended Two-Hand Backhand (E2HBH) Demonstrated just 3 min.
The videos starts with the unique grip technique, then demonstrates mostly E2HBH's, mixed in with conventional one-hand backhands, forehands with windshield wiper and standard finish, and a couple left-hand forehands to save the point. As I highlighted,
"Nothing else like it; You won't find it anywhere else!" No kidding. Regardless, it works great for me when called upon.

This might even apply to one player who inquired on the 2HFH, with respect to the grip position, just the reverse from that I use.
