As a former Top 20 North Carolina junior and one who hashed a 2-handed backhand before switching to a 1-handed you are WRONG.

I hit the ball harder on my backhand than the vast majority of my 2-handed opponents.

There is a reason the bet players of all time used a 1-handed backhand ya know.

The 1- handed is the most versatile and dangerous stroke in tennis.

Sorry, but that's still wrong. Guys like Federer and Sampras who use that shot are moving their arm one foot to move the racket head one foot which is like lifting a stone with your arms rather than using a lever or arm punching in boxing. You can always tell the arm puncher in a prize fight, he's the guy being carried out in a wheelbarrow.

The whole world watched Juan Martín del Potro break that one handed shot of Federer's down at the US open in 09 and I assume that's the only reason Federer ever has any problem with Del Potro since other than for that one shot Federer's a much better player.
