Two handed BH with 90inch(K90)

[FraNkcn]

I can see that the 1HBH has more power..but as to why the 90'' is more well suited for a 1hbh I still can't understand // feel the difference.

Probably is best to put it as Jolly said, if you have the form to hit it, you can, if not then its probably not the right stick for you. But the question still haunts me I guess I must accept some valid answers.! Anyone else with a take on why 90's are more suited to 1HBH???

Would of been interesting to see Agassi and Sampras switching rackets for one match.

Would one player of been at a more disadvantage than the other?

Great question! I'd like to see Agassi serve and volley with Pete's PS85.

I don't think a 90 is suited more toward a one handed backhand. I think more people can hit a one hander and two hander better with a 100 square inch racket opposed to a 90 square inch racket. A 90 square inch racket has a tiny sweetspot. I own a 90 and 100 square inch racket and I only use the K90 against players who are much lower then me to try to even it out a little bit.

For some reason for me, it is psychological. I feel as though (especially on returns) a slightly bigger headsize/sweetspot assists me with my 2HBH. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but I can feel the difference.

Yup..Agassi would have huge disadvantage.

I've also used both and in between. My baseline game was alot more powerful compared to the 85-90 with a 100in and a 95in. I've also seen a similar player switch to a 85 that used to play with a hypercarbon tweener 95 (pounding the ball from the baseline) to just so so results with the 85.. Huge difference in power..

I have an n90 and am hitting a 2hbh with it right now. Its fine. I actually sometimes find it harder to hit the 1hbh with it although it could be because my technique is off.

Question: In general why is it that so many people say a smaller head size is "made" for a 1hbh? I would think its easier with a bigger head...

less rotation of racquet. its easier to hold because it is firmer less mass. and 1 handed backhands are usually more powerful than most forehands if used correctly just because natural rotation.

But would you agree that overall, really a 90 could really either be well suited for a 2hbh and a 1hbh, just matter of preference really and what the player is used to???

To the OP meet me at the Crossroads and I'll make a deal with you for an otherworldly two hander. Midnight at the Crossroads.

HA HA

Nice one. I was just digging this thread up for the other guy asking the same question and must of missed this quote.
