[tennisbiz] Re: two-handed backhand grips

Dear Paul:

I usually don't teach two handed backhands because
they require even more athletic ability and plus the
two handed backhand requires a lot of lower back
effort that could cause injuries later on in a players
career.

When I get a two handed backhand player what I
ussually teach is that the two handed back hand is a
left handed forehand, (for right handed players), and
that the left handed should use a forehand grip on the
left hand and a continental grip on the right hand.

I hope this helps.
