Hey bud, i know you're probably kidding, but all of the comments are talking about the look of your racquet so I have to throw in my two cents in case you're serious:
your racquet is a tool, not a fashion choice. Don't use a better looking overgrip if it feels worse in your hand, and don't use better looking strings t... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |

You are saying the speed MP and radical are much easier to use than the Aero? I just ordered the Aero 98 but was thinking about the radical MP as well. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
No. Not at all. The aero is easier for sure. Im still playing with the strings but the heads I love serving and driving shots. Aero is missing something like when hitting flat and trying to really crush it. But ease of use? Definitely the aero it has this vertical sweet spot that allows me to get away with being lazy o... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
Tournagrip! Used to hate that stuff but now I adore it because it's the only grip that doesn't suck when super sweaty | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
Yep, agree 100%. That’s why I’m using it despite how much I hate the look. Whatever gets me wins! | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
I forget where it was discussed but there was a story about how colored grips do in fact play different than white ones. That the dyes used have an effect on overall structural quality that is commonly negative. I sort of remember it briefly touched on UV too, that the rays soak in and get to work faster in breaking it... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
Poor QC. Even years ago I remember some that could be stretched and then some as about easy to as a piece of scotch tape. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
No. It’s a known industry thing. The dyes used on color grips has an effect on the quality. White overgrip is the closest to the intended standard of their product. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |

Yeah I know what you mean with the aero and not really crushing flat shots. I just got mine this week and will play some more and try to get a good feel for it. I went with hyper g soft 16L after blast 17 were a bit too harsh for me. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-24-07 |
Honestly it think you nailed it. It's the flat shots. Just missing some BAM sometimes but not always. Hyper g soft is nice, very popular and lots of spin.
I switched to a pure aero 98nfkr my main racket. Im used to smaller heads, I just can't adapt to 100s play style and this gave me the best of both worlds.
But wha... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-25-07 |
Right on. I had added lead to my pure aero team 100 as well and that helped a lot. I like the stability of the 98 but yeah it can be difficult at times. I am thinking of trying solinco confidential 17 to compare to the hyper g soft as i've read good things about durability from the confidential. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-30-07 |
For warning that confidential 17 is softer then 16L 16. But it's is still stiffer to me anyway comparably to hyper g 16L and definitely hyper g soft 16L. It's a dead string and mute but stiff. I guess you would have to try it. It one of those strings you know you missed. I had it in a speed mp and it wasn't for me. Gre... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-30-07 |
With that description I might just stick with the hyper G soft 16L haha or even try the hyper g soft 17. I like how these strings feel.

I was also... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-31-07 |
Id you like the feel of hyper g soft there isn't many like it that hold tension like it does. Of you want it softer then yes go 17. But It won't last as long. Other soft strings are alpha from grapple snake, Toroline strings, cream.
But if you need it to be soft and hyper g soft 16L is to much, yeah I'd try 17. That'... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-31-07 |

I have a Speed Pro with a leather grip, two overgrips, and 2g lead at 3/9. Feels great on serve and 1HBH (and everything else). Both were a bit off until I added the extra overgrip and the lead tape. Now the two are off for various other reasons, but they feel right. The SW is only up to 330 (I think Sinner has like 34... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
My tennis journey started at 18 years (18 years ago) old when I walked up to a Juco and tried out for the tennis team and made it. With absolutely no lessons beforehand. The coach at the time told me to go with the OHBH and slice more due to my speed. I was easily the fastest on the team with a 4.43 40yd dash as I was ... | r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
That’s a sweet looking ohbh!
Gonna throw out a wild idea, why not use both? A defensive 2hander for baseline rallying, and as soon as you get a ball you can pounce on, go for an offensive one hander and start adding pressure. But that’s muscle memory you’d need to have nice and fluid, but maybe it’s worth a shot?

I won’t tell you what to do, because I think you need to do more research on yourself. But here are some thoughts to consider.
First, figure out why you can drive through the court with the 1H but not 2H. To me, it looks like it’s because you extend your follow through a lot more on the 1H. But presuming there’s no p... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Can you return serve with the one hander? That's usually the biggest weakness. If you're constantly getting picked on there, you may have problems. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I’ve thought about that and have done it some, but having so many options doesn’t mean I’ll always choose the best one lol! But I totally agree with you about using both. I CANNOT step into a THBH with good pace and topspin. Maybe it’s form or bad technique, but the THBH has never felt natural to me. The OHBH just feel... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
That OHBH looking sweet in the rally. As mentioned, can you do that on a return of serve? I've thought of switching to a OHBH as well due to reach and being older coming back to the game after a 10 + year hiatus. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Returning is probably one of the strongest points in my game. However, I return completely different when playing singles or doubles. I’m returning from the baseline or a foot inside in doubles and I usually play the backhand side because after the return, I never have to hit a backhand. Inside forehands if I’m on the ... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
That's similar to my style with 2HBH (except in singles I'm still pretty aggressive, doubles, extremely aggressive and almost always hitting forehands, but the 2H from inside the court sharp angle is strong). The hard flat serves are an issue, but kicks even more so - most of the time, when I play one-handers, they get... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Well that’s the thing I’ve done a lot of videoing and breaking down of my game. Hence the swap to the shorter compact swing on the 2HBH, but here lately I’ve been experiencing some elbow pain in my left arm. I was having this pain with the elongated take back as well, but less with the shorter take back. Also, I haven’... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
It looks awesome, dude. If you like hitting it and it holds up under match pressure, why not? It honestly looks cleaner technically than either of your groundstrokes in your last video.
Maybe keep two hands on returns, though.

as a shortie 4.5 OHBH myself, trying to win games is misery sometimes. But I'm not making money off playing tennis so I play the 1H because it feels good and satisfying. Returns are hard, especially kick serves. I've lost matches from someone just serve and volleying the entire game. I just do a two hand for big serves... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Returning is one of, if not the strongest parts of my game. However, I return completely different playing singles than doubles. In doubles I usually play the ad side and I love catching flat serves and kick serves early with my 2HBH or FH. I’ll play a foot inside the baseline and even closer on 2nd serves no matter ho... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Yeah I feel like that’s going to be my biggest worry, but mainly returning it doubles. I don’t do a whole lot of aggressive returning on singles even with my 2HBH.

Thanks man! I slice a good bit with my 2HBH now, but I know I’ll slice even more with the 1HBH.

Also there is absolutely no problem returning two-handed even if you'd be mostly using a 1H. At least when you're returning first serves you're not going to attack. You know you will hit a two-hander, so there isn't that decision-making there is if playing "both", as suggested in another comment. That's pretty much wha... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |

Yeah I’m with you in doubles. I’m going to be insanely aggressive returning there so I don’t get my net man killed. Unlike you, I definitely do not have the sharp cross court angle with my 2HBH. I can pole drive flat deep into the corner but that’s about all I can do with it. I do love returning big flat serves though.... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |

Idk about that, but I appreciate it. I put a lot of work in over the years since I was 18 years old, so a lot of it is muscle memory.

It's well known that using a ohbh makes all the 1.0 65 year old tennis ladies fall in love with you. So make the switch lol | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Fair point LOL! Luckily, I found a lady who thought my THBH was pretty snazzy lol. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Thanks, but the downfall of that is it requires a ton of energy to always get that lead leg stepping into the ball with all those short choppy steps. Verses, I can just open stance block a THBH sometimes with way less effort. But my elbow pain may make me switch regardless. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |

May I ask what sports you played besides football? IMO the reason a lot of people struggle with the 2hbh (myself including) is because they played sports that allowed them to develop just one side.

With the elbow pain bit it might go hand in hand with refining your technique regarding the 2hbh or maybe even checking your forehand, but it may well also be you getting into the groove again.

Looks like it. If you compare it to your forehand you've got the natural high low high loop. If you try to do a similar motion to your backhand maybe it'll add some pace.
If you watch doubles though, a lot of those top guys play 1hb. So who knows. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
You obviously could do whatever you want. Your rating is higher than the majority of everyone on here.

Ah ok! Thanks! I’m so stoked to hit this Saturday. I’ll try to be looser on the grip. I think I hold my racket really tight at times when I swing resulting in my wrist being too stiff.

I wouldn't change a thing to your OHBH. It looks quite good. My only piece of advice regarding injuries is... stay off the hard courts if you can. They'll wreck your body over time.

Go for the OHBH, your technique is already there and it seems that you’re more enjoying than the THBH. Your footwork allows you to be well positioned before hitting which is IMO the biggest requirement to hit OHBH.

It looks really good. The opponent isn't hitting with a ton of pace though, that's where you will probably have most of the problems: hitting very defensive shots (and returning serves). You look like you can hit it on the rise so maybe you won't suffer extreme topspin shots much.

That’s what I’m trying to do!!! When I pushed to the back with a moonball, it’s just so much more effective for me to hit a powerful 2HBH then a wimpy slice. Most any other time I love the OHBH because I feel that I have more time and can send the ball anywhere, or defer to a slice | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
I think you have problems with your 2h backhand because it's mostly upper body. You step in sometimes, but you don't clear the back hip. There is no rotation. It's all arm. If you stepped through it I think you'd find some more easy power on it. Look at your previous video and see how much hip rotation you have in... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
Yeah, I feel as if I stiffen up pretty good on the 2HBH. Guess because it doesn’t feel natural. So, I need to let that left hip and left foot come through and get some hip drive. I guess that would help me transfer from left to right as well as I see my back leg kind of stays put and like you said, I just arm it. Hmm….... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |

No worries buddy. I think it doesn't feel natural because you are limiting yourself by using all arm. You have to use so much effort to hit the ball hard at all when you do that. Getting that hip going will make the stroke so much easier on you. You're correct about the transfer as well. You bring that back foot f... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |

I guess it's hard to understand the relevance of like how fast you are to the question of whether you can figure out a 2 hander with no pain or not lol.

Because at the level of tennis I play people absolutely bludgeon the ball. How fast I am dictates whether I have to take a hand off to hit a slice or I can power slide into a 2HBH. You can’t power slide into a 1HBH. Typically, 1HBH will slice those on the run shots 90% of the time when someone is ripping 70-80 mph grou... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
