What Grips do You All Use with 2 Handed Backhand?

I'm right handed. My right hand is Eastern Backhand (sometimes Continental), and my left hand is always Eastern Forehand. I get extreme topsin and power with this grip combo.

Funny - I am switching from eastern-eastern to non-dom. semi-western dom.eastern because I get better topspin and power that way. Different strokes for different folks eh ?

Do you mean semi-western on your left hand or did you have it the other way around, left hand eastern and right hand continental?

rickson, the ball doesn't pop up at all. i tend to hit my backhands a bit flatter though.

gmlasam, that's correct, my right hand is in an eastern forehand grip while my left hand is in a continental grip. one drill that a lot of people use is to hit opposite handed forehands, this really helped me out as well (i learned this on these boards). if you go down a few posts, i posted some videos of me hitting a couple of backhands.

I believe I am Eastern with both hands as well and I can hit with good pace, lots of spin, and good consistency. I should probably experiment with the continental grip on the backhand side just for giggles. I also need to see if I can slice with two hands or if I can just drop the left hand off as I hit the ball.
