backhand

I always thought that there is such a big advantage to a single backhand vs double backhand.

The commenter gave another example of a skilled single backhand player but that doesn't really validate a theory that it's better or worse than the double backhand.

Publications definitely helpful, as is degree from high-ranking school and ability to receive serve in the backhand corner.

Stan Wawrinka is also a single backhand player who just won the French Open, denying Novak Djokovic in the process.

A great backhand in tennis, a brilliant pass by a quarterback, these all have a quality of beauty about them.

There are lots of claims made on the backhand that never get followed up with any sort of quantification or citation.

All other things being equal, one-handed backhand can generate more pace than a double-hander.

However, the single-hander is tougher to execute when under time-pressure compared to the double-handed backhand (given that you should hit the ball further out in front on the single-handed backhand, and it is possible to have a good contact later for the double-handed backhand).

Wawrinka has potentially the greatest backhand of all time (single or double handed).

Why is the second paragraph a shout-out backhand compliment to Ember and Angular?

For tennis it's obvious since you need both the serve and the backhand.

It is not without reason France knows central Africa like its backhand.

It's the "and yet they keep spending all their money" that makes us want to grab them by the shirt collars and cartoonishly backhand them.

In principle it should be another piece of knowledge which makes "European capitals" useful, in the same way that having a good backhand gives you more opportunities to serve.
