First home co-op girl's tennis match of the season today.  This is the #2 Singles player for the home team executing a backhand. If you're not strong enough to do it with one hand...use two. She played a nice game.

I messed around playing a bit of tennis with my cousin when I was a young biologist.  I used my mother's old racquet (she was VERY good).  It was made of wood and heavy and strung with catgut.  Too heavy for this baby biologist to play with all day.  Today's racquets are made of carbon fiber and weigh about as much as a postage stamp.  Hard to believe anyone of high school age wouldn't be strong enough to make a backhand shot with one hand.  All evidence to the contrary......even the adult pros use two hands...but I suspect it's more for guiding the shot than adding strength. I could be wrong.
