2 handed backhand looks undignified and effeminate

Father Christmas 14 May 2005 11:30:38
 Nothing worse than seeing a grown man - especially a brute like say Safin -
swiping at the ball with two hands on the racket. It just isn't right.

There are rare players who make 2-h bh look aestetically good:

Rios, Hingis, Kafelnikov, Mecir and Safin.

And yet surprisingly while I think Todd Martin was generally really clumsy
looking on court, I really liked his 2h bh...

Nothing wrong but nothing spectracular either. Might be the fact that Andre
himself is not the most
fluid out there...

The fact he uses more than 1 hand.

C'mon, 2 handed backhand has been around since the 70s. Get over it.>
good post.>

Pancho Segura, a top-quality tennis player for many years, was born
Francisco Olegario Segura in Guayaquil, Ecuador, on June 20, 1921, but
moved to the United States in the late 1930s and is considered to be an
American tennis player. He was a small man, no more than 5'6" (1.68 m),
with badly bowed legs from the rickets that he had suffered as a child,
but he made up it for with extremely fast footwork and a devastating
two-handed forehand that his frequent adversary and the future tennis
impresario Jack Kramer once called "The greatest single shot ever
produced in tennis".

Two-handed forehand from the 1930s.

Correct! the bh of those guys was just fantastic>
Borg's bh wasn't bad also...>


Borg's bh was probably the best as he had to use wood - they were still
amazing shots...
