Take the 2hbh swoosh test

[ByeByePoly]

OK ... need your help with a scientific study on the swing velocity (swoosh potential) of the 2hbh. Anyone can play ... even those (talking about you Mr Danger) who find the 2hbh immoral. This is a scientific test, not a measure of aesthetics.

For all three tests below:
- swings can be done indoors, just be careful with the pets
- assume a right handed player
- take a full shoulder turn in preparation for swing
- light grip, just doing arm swing without hand action
- take full flat swing ... no topspin science going on here

Test #1 - take a full 2hbh swing without trying to help with either arm - note SWOOSH
Test #2 - take a full 2hbh swing and try and increase swing speed by pulling with right arm - note SWOOSH
Test #3 - take a full 2hbh swing and try and increase swing speed by pushing with left arm - note SWOOSH

Report SWOOSH ... let the science begin

And then ask yourself why you're concerned about racquet head speed when 90 percent of people don't have anything resembling the basic fundamentals to hit a backhand.

Ohhh donnybrook, always good for a chuckle.

I tried it, sorry @ByeByePoly but I don't think I'll be much help. There wasn't any discernible difference in the sound any of the three swings made. I'm definitely a 'push' two handed backhand, but I feel(heard) like I got the same racquet head speed off all three swings.

Thanks for playing, will send you the door prize for beeing first.

This test has some problems. Most decent backhands have racquet lag from right hand pull then left hand push.

Bit, welcome to my science experiment. We are testing SWOOSH, not 2hbh, and the "science" has a lot of problems. I am already having control group issues.

Take the test ... JUST DO IT for science. It's fun.

I took the tests.

After test #1, my Chihuahua said "wussy"
After test #2, my Chihuahua said "wussy"
After test #3, my Chihuahua said "Ay caramba!"

Wife took the test ... she said "this isn't how I hit my backhand", and walked off.

Science is hard.
