The death of the single handed backhand :'(

http://richard-mills-sports.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/a-dying-art-ode-to-single-handed.html

My light hearted piece on a topic that touches all of our hearts, bar Kim  .

Great piece LS, the fight is on!!!
ALLEZ SBH, ALLEEEEZ!!!!!

And what shall I say...the fearless, tireless SBH warrior...

I preach the shot everywhere I go.

I call man who play it in my club - women.

I call Rafael Nadal - Death of Tennis. (I hope people are now beginning to see why).

But I don't just talk the talk - I play the Beautiful Thing as well.


Oh, if only the world knew the delight and joy it giveth back....


VIVE LE SINGLE BACKHAND!!!!!

Cheers buddy and thanks for the Pouille coach comment.
I'm going to pitch this to tennis.com or tennis head, in a more serious thread. Boring!

I know Tignor & co read OTF.

Call me naive or Don Quixotic, but why don't we organise a petition?

Make a bit of civilised noise outside O2 in November?

Haha.
Pennyforshbh.com

Da link worketh not.

Haha, it hasn't been set up yet.

Penny4nasa.org inspired me.

There is a nice video on tennistv this morning:

The Beauty of the One-Handed Backhand

It really cheered me up and showed the fight is not over and my barking on OTF and elsewhere has not been in vain! 

Not sure if this link will show the clip, if it doesn't it will probably make it to ATP website later. I hope.

Tragically, Fed said he'd teach his children to play with a DBH. Coward!

fed is right. Sadly....unless they really speed things up.

But as I said many times, Djoko and all those DHBH coudl not have been great players had they been forced to play with one hand.

It's certainly a talent sorter! As Stan says, you need "good" timing.

This will sound self important and self aggrandising but i think that video was made off the back of my questions to Greg Sharko over the months about the decline of the shot.

He said he will ask some top 50-100 players with a shbh a few of my questions and hey presto a few weeks later, this gets made....

Could be wrong but we have been conversing via email for almost 2 months now.

I am sure it is very linked to your question.

DOn't mention our site or he will stop all connections with you!

BanTheDHBH.org.... 

(even Cricket should be played with one hand...  ).
