The Advantages of "tenniseasy2play"

 

It`s simple when you keep it simple!

 

1.   Greater Power

With both hands on the racquet handle, you are forced to turn your shoulders when preparing for the stroke. You will hit the ball with greater force because with that shoulder turn all of your upper torso will be behind the shot.

 

Also, the two-handed strokes are more forgiving. You can hit the ball off balance and without weight transfer, or off center and not lose power due to the extra force generated by using both hands, both arms, both shoulders, and all of the upper torso. You can also generate additional power using the wrists, without sacrificing control. Because there is almost no backswing or preparation there is almost no chance to hit the ball late and you are able to react very quick on tricky balls.

 

2.   Greater Control

With two hands you can not only use your wrists for added power, but also for determining the direction of the shot by orienting the face at impact. Two-handed players are frequently known for hitting shots at incredible angles.

Also, it is easier to hit with topspin and slice with the additional strength of two hands.

 

3.   It’s easier to learn with only one ball in play for practising with the “tenniseasy2play” method

The two-handed stroke is easier to “groove” (hit consistently) and keep grooved than a one-handed stroke.  Without the extra controlling presence of the nondominant arm, there is much greater potential for unwanted motion both horizontally and vertically.

Also, because two-handed strokes from each side are identical, the learning that occurs on one side will serve to reinforce the learning that takes place with the other stroke.

 

4.   Reduced Susceptibility to Injury

When both arms are used, the shock of the impact is dispersed over twice as much bone and muscle, leading to a significant decrease in the trauma to a single muscle or tendon.  If you have a chronic injury that greatly limits your enjoyment and effectiveness, or has forced you to give up the game entirely, why not try hitting with both hands?  What have you got to lose?

 

5.   Volleys are More Powerful

The two-handed drivevolley lends itself to be hit with a backswing rather than the punched volley. Two-handed volleys are more powerful and are hit with a greater degree of control and touch.

 

6.   You Don’t Have to Change Grips

Almost all one-handed players learn to change from a forehand grip to a backhand grip. However, because the two-handed player hits forehands and backhands with both hands in an eastern forehand grip, the two-handed player doesn’t need to change grips.  Eliminating the need to change grips improves stroke production through simplification. The less you attempt to do, the less there is that can go wrong.

 

The chief complaint about the two-handed grip is that it limits your ability to reach for balls. I must say that I have never found this to be the case because you always have the ability to extend the racquet with one hand when ever it is necessary to reach for a ball. 

 

 

You can put more pressure on your opponent in prolonged rallys from the baseline because you can stand in closer in the court by hitting the ball earlier. This also makes it  easier to occupy the net to finish the rally with a good and easy two-handed volley!
