Hi Anton;

My boy plays double handed forehand and backhand and can hit many amazing shots which one handed can only dream of.

There are actually sevaral variety on "Double handed forhand and backhand": (Famous players)

- Two backhand grips with upper grip dominating the stroke/ swapping grip position when changing from forehand to back hand; (Pancho Segura; My boy)

- Two backhand grips with upper grip dominating the stroke/ fixed grip position from forehand to back hand; (Monica Seles)

- Two backhand grips with lower grip dominating the stroke/ swapping grip position when changing from forehand to back hand;

- Two backhand grips with lower grip dominating the stroke/ fixed grip position from forehand to back hand;

The key for this stroke is foot work and hit the ball early.

Recommended video: Andre Aggasi's Attack (only watch the backhand part) and USTA instruction video on foot work.

There is also a instruction book call double handed tennis in some library.

Good luck.
