Two hands on the right side, or two hands on the left side AND most of us that use it play single handed left forehand and single handed right forehand. It is actually quite simple. Anything new in the beginning just seems complicated because we are not familar to it. If you are in LA, there are people that would hook up with you..

If we could borrow a demo racquet or use one with your friends there, that would be very cool. I am in L.A. every Friday and Saturday hitting with my buddies.
If you and Gregory arrange this. You must take a video! We'd love to see it on here!

Say it ain't so!!! that is a joke
