What top spin backhand do you use?

[Gadz]

Hi all,

Only a general thing as I was interested to see which members use which backhand. One or Two handed backhand?

Work in progress.
Still, one panel from forehand, it's too far away in one direction, and too close in the other (using the same face fore and backhand).

I'm sorry?

What for? I can hit a slice off any height ball, and at my bad level, it won't matter in the least, not even in doubles.
I just hit a topspin backhand for fun of it.
At age 66, endless rallying from the baseline is the least of my concerns.

Two-hander growing up. Now it's one-hander but I tend to slice more.

I was going to give up on the topspin 1h in favour of my more useful and effective slice but my old-fashioned flat topspin is such a natural shot for me that I still find myself ripping 1h topspin shots without thinking of it.

I'm sorry?

Translation: LeeD uses a one hander.

I also use a one hander.

2HBH, with the dominant hand in conti grip. That grip makes it easy for me to switch to a slice if I don't quite get to the ball in time to hit topspin.
