Had
lost that shot, my favorite shot when I was a kid, the double handed
backhand, a shot that I learned to hit by simply watching Borg and
Wilander, no one really taught me how to hit it. Sometimes I think it's
possible to learn by just watching, then getting out on court with an
idea in mind and simply following the thought process.
I
lost this shot years ago due to coaching where it was simply easier to
just slice it back as most lessons are taught by hitting with the same
grip, the old school shake hands grip.
I
am slowly but surely getting the old game back, a test as we get older
but a test that is worth the effort. I watched a clip of Mats hitting
the other day as a 50 year old, ripping his famous two hander,
inspiring.......
