Hey Coach. Out of curiosity, why do you have a left look and a quick motion back to center prior to serving? You warmed up with a bit more exaggerated motion on this, so I’m curious what the goal is here?
@BeforeandAfterTennis (Malhar) - why did you decide to switch to 2HBH? I play 1HBH and I am tempted to do the same but I am not sure that is wise. My 1HBH is decent but I am thinking that 2HBH would be more of a weapon. What is your motivation and experience so far? (This could be a good video, too)
I always felt like my one-hander was a liability. I felt that the two hander has the distinct advantage in the balls that get slightly behind you, you can still make them spin forward to a degree because you have the left arm to help you out. Experience was good-I hit an okay level in blocked and variable practice but as soon as matches started, i struggled. Which makes total sense! I just don't have enough time and reps in that mode. But it rained here in Sydney for 2 weeks straight so i went back to the one-hander and decided to refine the elements that could be better so that is what I've been working on.
Since you are switching to a THB are you going to have to eliminate or greatly reduce the right foot crossover step into a closed stance? It is great for a OHB but doesn’t it significantly reduce hip rotation for the THB?
Yes-great pick up. It's a challenge because I've probably hit hundreds of thousands of balls where I step across my body. But that can be detrimental when it comes to the two-hander
This is awesome, love to see your process!
Thank you for watching and for the support 💪
Thanks Coach! 💯🙏
Thank you, good sir

Haha! I think it's just a strange tic that I have-there's no purpose to it.
