Is aggassi perceived to have/had the best two hander in the history of the game.
If so, do you believe that in part this is to do with his straight/ straight combo.
Is this arm combination very close to an effective one hander?
It strikes me that it is not a natural way to hit the ball and that somebody must have advocated the structure at some point and thereafter it was grooved.
It also strikes me that a lot of the pros play with two handers - most likely because they start the game at a very young age and are then invoved in the battle to win every game they play. To transfer to a one hander later in the day as per Sampras is too brave a move and therfore it is natural that there will be more two than one handers on the tour.
Given the differences that you have identified one presumes that a lot of the combos are to do with natural comfort, and have accordingly evolved.
If you were teaching children today would you advocate that the go for the combo that feels comfortable to them or guide them to say The Aggassi combo?
On a seperate note could you let me know what the correct hand position on the backhand is that is the equivalent to an eastern/ semi western forehand? A very basic question I appreciate but your help would be appreciated as I would like my kids to hold the raquet in a manner which will help them generate maximum power as per say A federer/ Aggassi forehand. I say basic question and yet the perceived gurus throughout the US allowed Roddicks Grip to evove in the way it did.
I am effectively looking to see how you would advocate teaching newcomers to the game as opposed to simply letting things happen by chance. It seems to me that where their are options, it follows that some are better than others - hence the leading question with Aggassi.
On a seperate note whether its worth saying or not I genuinely believe your site goes from strength to strength and due to the power of the internet is helping to empower tennis enthusiasts such as myself and prevent us from being hoodwinked by so called 'tennis coaches'
