Hi Guys,
I know we have a lot of discussions around the pros and cons of one handed vs two handed backhand. I am not looking for that but looking for a more expert advise or guidance based on your experience.
I am 37 have played tennis for 5-6 years now ,on and off, socially. I am not very good and have a UTR of 2.8. Recently I have started taking tennis seriously and started looking at coaching .
Most of the coaches wanted me to move to a double handed backhand but I am still skeptical for below reasons
1) Have been playing one handed for many years. Will agree I am not good at it but I can slice and send the ball back for sure at my level
2) I feel my cricketing batting instincts will take over
Based on my UTR, my number of years and the fact that I still can't drive with backhand but only slice and that too not consistently, what would you advice
Shifting to two hands or continue and practice to get better with one hand.
