This could be a one time adjustment on ONE shot that he needed to hit like this because of a bad bounce, or another type of misread of the opponents shot. It would be interesting to see quite a few pictures of this guy at contact to be sure its HIS style and not ONE funky shot.
I remember being taught to allow the hand to stay in a more natural position. The cocked wrist diminishes some the resistance strength of your arm. Roger keeps a very natural hand position, and so did Tommy Haas, probably the too best one handers.
Well, I actually tried that full cocked wrist with knuckles across. Really makes hitting flat alot easier, but not so great on the spin.
No, I think most people angle their hands on the handle on the one hander, with the index finger angled. The straight across grip is supposed to create 90 degrees and accentuate the supination.
Anatoly Antipin, a Tennisopolis member, theorized a 90 degree Continental grip straight across used by Taylor Dent to increase pronation capability.
Rev it up!
Is this common at all for one handed backhands?
I can't remember seeing this ever before?
Haha! Yeah, it is definitely a motorcycle grip. Knuckles on top, baby!!
are you guys talking about the motorcycle grip?
Yes, highly interesting. Gasquet, on some backhands, goes over the ball with the bottom edge dominant, just like a ping pong player.
That is interesting; I definitely do not have my hand cocked back like that (but I do have my other hand on the grip too...)
