I've switched between the one-hander and two-hander so much and I would like to figure out once and for all which to stick to.
Nishikori and Wawrinka are my main models for my backhands respectively.
(In my position, I have four months to improve from essentially a beginner to the highest highschool-level play as fast as possible).
First off, I've heard that one-handers generally struggle a lot with return of serve compared to two-handers. Is this true? I'll be playing at the highschool level.
Second, I heard that one-handers have a much easier time at net, and that "there was no great S&V player with a two-hander".
Lastly, would the two-hander generally be better as a "wall"? My game will be centered around a big forehand and serve, but I want a reliable backhand to cover my left wing.
Overall, my one-hander feels a lot more natural and generally has more power and directional control, but I often find myself making even more unforced errors due to poor contact.
