Two handed backhand grip western

[Shishisisjjso25]

Is it normal to hold western in my dominant and non dominant hand for the two handed backhand so like double western two handed backhand.

the common grip is continental ("universal grip") in dominant and forehand grip (like eastern through extreme eastern) in non-dominant hand.

You need to be more specific.
Because dominant hand is different for different people.
For some their LH will be more dominant. For others their RH.

Your dominant hand is the one you instinctively use more often for fine motor skills like writing, brushing your teeth, or using a utensil (maybe for some 87% that is the right hand). That's what I was referring to, and I assume we are talking about the 2 handed backhand, not the 2 handed forehand. I don't really care which hand "leads" the shot you hit with two hands, as I don't feel thinking about that really improves the shot.

I think the original poster might be thinking of the grips in reverse. I've personally tried all possible grips, and one choice were to not change the grip forehand and backhand, but rather just turn the racket over, using western grip on the forehand would become an eastern backhand grip. Possible, but difficult to get accustomed to, especially for serve return. Anyway, rather think of backhand side and forehand side grips separately, and bevel 1 being always on top.

Two-handed backhand grips: 1) dominant hand is in the eastern backhand grip, 2) dominant hand in the continental grip, 3) dominant hand in the Australian forehand grip, and 4) dominant hand in the eastern forehand grip. In all, the off hand is normally in an eastern forehand, extreme eastern or semi-western grip.

two hands western would be fighting each other
Not seen that before.
Assuming talking about 2HBh and the player is right handed
More commonly seen is the left hand is more eastern to contentintal. And the right hand grip is whatever to matches the left hand so the forearms work together
If we talking about 2 h forehand
I played in past with 2h forehand. And it’s possible to play with right handed western and left hand grip is whatever to match the right forearm
So many possibilities but I would avoid western -western in two handed strokes . I think western -western works best if one can be ambidextrous and switch hands and play with one handed forehand from both wings

Although I can play 2HBH (right handed player) I much prefer to play 2HFH (on the BH side).
It's a long story but I developed this shot many years ago.

What I do is grip the racket with LH at the handle's base using an Eastern grip and then with my RH
I just touch the racket with only the finger tips of all my five fingers (above my LH).
Because I'm RH by simply touching the racket I achieve the feel for the shots that
would be totally missing if I tried to play with a one-handed LHFH.

I think when people say dominant hand we can assume it means their forehand hand. I know people can be left handed but hit forehand with right hand.
