Tennis Two Forehands
Tennis: Do I have two forehands?

I’m right handed.
I bat left, play hockey left.
I generally use a one-handed backhand in tennis… but hypothetically if I was to use a two-handed backhand would I actually be enjoying two forehands? I have the natural forehand with my right and my two handed backhad is my natural swinging motion as well. When right handed baseball swingers do a two handed backhand would it not feel as natural as my two handed backhand?

You’re like me. I play tennis righty, but do a lot of other things lefty. Bat lefty, play lacrosse lefty, generally prefer to use my left hand instead of my right. Ambidextrous, more or less. As a consequence, I have a fair forehand, but everyone I’ve played says my backhand is leaps and bounds better than my forehand, because I get great power and spin behind it and can still hit it incredibly accurately.

So righty batters, I’m assuming, would feel a bit more uncomfortable/in an unnatural position than us two.
