He never played right handed tennis. He always used the LH as the stronger hand- just switched from double handed forehand to single handed forehand when Toni took over. For Nadal, it was the right choice.

What is the source of your point that Nadal always used his LH as the stronger hand? What is the reason for you to believe it. You have made your assumption and keep posting it every time.

And did he play only a double handed forehand and nothing off the back hand? So someone who plays double handed forehand, according to you, doesn't play right handed tennis?

Looks like Bartoli plays ( I don't know which handed since Amritia here has enlightened us here). Only if WTA also knew it. Laugh

If someone plays DH off both wings, his/her handedness is always what is natural for him/her in most activities. As per that Nadal earlier was Right-handed (two-handed both wings).

ROTLA... you're lying:
http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/1117130/Rafael-Nadal

In his early years, Nadal (who wrote with his right hand) played left-handed tennis with both a two-handed forehand and backhand.

I've also watched a documentary on Nadal, and he says even when he played double handed, his left hand was always his stronger hand in tennis.

by noleisthebest Sat Oct 06, 2012 2:27 pm

Amri,
the point you don't seem to get is that most right-handedpeople's left arm will be stronger, but tennis is not about strength (except if you are Nadal obviously) in the arm , although that does play an important part.
In tennis you need to have the feel and the timing as well, and that only comes with your natural hand.
I tried it myself the other week, so I know what I am talking about.

The thing which I find totally amazing is that Nadal is able to serve with his left arm.

So, I still don't get it why he chose to switch hands. Strength does not hold any water as the argument. The only explanation is that he was not as good as his peers, so Toni engineered him into the ball-bludgeoner and chaser, and his knees and left bicep are a testimony to it.

That was a lie.
Biceps wise I don't know which hand was 'stronger'; but he played left handed double handed forehand, which indicates that this is his better hand.
(Stronger has many defintions: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/stronger it doesn't necessarily mean more muscular.)

Anyway, what we know is that you said that Nadal played right handed when he was younger.
This was fabricated, a total lie. You can clutch at straws, trying to take attention away from the fact you lied (by claiming I said his LH was 'stronger' as in more muscular, when what I was trying to say was that it was his 'better' 'stronger' hand- i.e. he played left handed tennis). I've seen videos of when Nadal was quite young- and muscle wise I think both his arms were quite similar actually.

Let me simplify my question, does Djokovic have endless stamina as shown in AO 2012 final? Does Murray have endless stamina beating Djokovic at USO 2012? Does Federer have endless stamina beating (Benneteau, Del Potro, Haas, Nadal, ... )?

That's a load of rubbish and you know it.
Pro tennis players are miles above the need to prove themselves with what repetitive training can give them, that's the club player's level aspiration.
The school of repetitive training at best produce baseline ball-bashers a la Andreev and 95% of WTA.

And why would I want to become a left-handed player when I already feel comfortable with my God-given right hand?
Why would anyone want to do that, that's the key thing.

I don't for a second believe the "strength" reason behind Nadal's arm switching. If it was that beneficiary, everyone would be doing it, hey, just be persistent for a month and you start hitting like a right-hander with your left arm plus with extra force!
The massive size of his left bicep is the ultimate proof that his left arm was not stronger to start with. If it was , why did he have to pump it up like that?

What arm switching?

He never played tennis right handed. Since he started playing tennis, he played left handed, just double handed FH+BH. Then Toni made his FH one-handed, there was no arm switching.

Here she is hitting a double handed forehand. Her right hand is the one further away from the racket head (closer to her).
Now go to 0:48. Here she is hitting a double handed backhand. Her right hand is still the only further away from a racket-head (closer to her).

This is why she is a right-handed double -handed player.

Yes exactly, he never played right handed tennis.

Now this is certainly made up. We are now clear on who makes things up and lies.

Read below:

"At age eight, Nadal won an under-12 regional tennis championship at a time when he was also a promising football player.[17] This made Toni Nadal intensify training, and at that time he encouraged Nadal to play left-handed for a natural advantage on the tennis court, as he noticed Nadal played forehand shots with two hands."

If Nadal was already playing with left handed why would Toni encourage him to play left -handed.

Now from your own source you provided:

Read carefully, it dumps your never switching point to dust.

"In his early years, Nadal (who wrote with his right hand) played left-handed tennis with both a two-handed forehand and backhand. When he was 12, however, his uncle encouraged him to adopt a more conventional left-handed style. Nadal stuck with his two-handed backhand but switched to what became his signature one-handed forehand, the stroke that was credited with lifting him into the sport’s upper echelons."

Did you find the word switched? Ahh... there you go..

It also say he switched to one handed left hand forehand. That means he earlier wasn't playing left hand one handed forehand. It only means he played double handed off both wings.

by Larry Ellison Sat Oct 06, 2012 5:10 pm

He switched from a left handed double handed forehand, to a left handed single handed forehand.

Never switched from right handed to left handed play.
Red my Bartoli example post.

There is a difference between left handed double-handed forehand, and right handed double handed.
A right handed DH-FH/BH- is when the right hand is further away from the racket head, on both shots. A LH-FH/BH- is when the left hand is further away from the racket head on both shots.

How is it decided which is her forehand shot and which is her backhand shot? Your theory is wrong. You can't decide the forehand and backhand first and then on its basis conclude whether the player is right-handed or left handed. In fact its other way round.

The hand which is further away from the racket head, (closer to you), is first taken into consideration.
Bartoli played with the right hand further away from the racket head, hence she plays a right handed 'double handed' game. Then we can see which is FH and BH.

I certainly don't get this point. I don't think that's how a forehand or back hand is decided. Its all based on first what handed a player is, that is the what he is naturally doing most things with. I think the following links backs me up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forehand

by Larry Ellison Sat Oct 06, 2012 5:24 pm

If you still don't fundamentally understand, I'll use Almagro as an example:
On his back-hand he first has two hands on the racket. His right hand is further away from his racket-head, his left hand is close. He releases his left hand, and ends up playing a single handed shot. This shows how the right hand (further away from the racket-head) is the 'main' hand if you were.
The forehand, and backhand is then easy to concur, even if you play double-handed shots. Hold the racket with the 'main' hand, i.e. the one further away from the racket head. The one you hit across your body is the BH, the one not across is you FH.
Is it still not clear?

The natural hand has nothing to do with it, eg I am right handed but could still play a left-handed double handed forehand.

He played left handed double-handed forehand. This means his left hand was further away from the racket head on both shots. This is the 'main hand' look at my Almagro example, the one closer to the racket head can be released to play a SHBH.

You use the same hand positions on each shot, the 'main' hand is further away from the racket head. It's nothing to do with your natural hand.

It isn't though.
Anyway this wasn't the point of the debate, the point is Nadal had his left hand further away from the racket. This is why encyclopaedia Brittanica says Nadal played a 'left handed double handed game.'
How can it say he had a left handed double-handed game, if your definition was correct, and he was naturally right handed??
So when he switches to a one hander, it's natural to have it left handed. (i.e. that was the hand always further away from the racket-head.)
Think of Almagro, he starts of with a double handed backhand, then releases the hand closer to the racket head, hence his right hand is the main hand.
It's simple, common sense.

NITB asks why Toni switched Rafa into artificial leftie. Amri says Rafa was always a leftie as a tennis player except he was playing double-handed initially.

Then you go on a longish debate but I did not see any argument that would even suggest Amri is wrong.

Rotla, this is quite unlike you but here your argument does not seem to work at all. In fact, even some of the the quotes you pull up seem to suggest Amri is in fact correct.

NITB, you just keep repeating question "why did he switch?" but you never established he did switch in the first place.

On a related topic: I normally consider myself right-handed and do most activities (e.g., writing) right-handed. Nevertheless, and somewhat oddly and with no obvious pattern, I occasionally do some things left-handed.

Perhaps most shockingly (to me at least), I play golf left-handed, even though I play tennis right-handed. It is certainly not because my uncle convinced me to switch away from my natural hand.

Of course, it may just be that both my hands are "unnatural" (and maybe that is why I suck at both golf and tennis), but that is a different matter Winking
