Fedvolution: The 1HBH is alive and well thanks to larger rackets heads

[arturohernandez]

Hi Everyone,

So Fed confirms that the new racket has a lot more power and that he has had to learn to hit his backhand with it. I think that he has shortened his stroke to compensate and also has more square inches. This basically reduces his shanks by making the stroke more compact and increasing the sweet spot.

Will the large head size save the one handed backhand?

Sure hope so. A lot more aesthetic. Roger, Warwrinka, Thiem... beautiful to watch!
