Hi guys, look what ive found:"Guobao Backhand King" http://www.sohubuy.com/viewphoto.asp?id=23706 racket that helps you teach yourself how to play backhand maybe somebody tried it before? and maybe someone willing to sell me one of those? or trade for some racket? any reviews? thank you, Dory.
no offence but this is lame and expensive. if you want to learn how to do a backhand then watch some videos of taufik hidayat or lin dan.
Agree, you're better off taking a few lessons from a professional coach and practising lots after that.
It's an interesting idea, I suppose. Personally, I'm against anything "ergonomically designed" like that - unless it's customized to fit me specifically, then it's probably not going to work for me. Can you even hit a forehand comfortably with that thing? If you wanted to try it, I'm sure you could very easily carve your own handle like that - the photographs on that page show enough detail for you to be able to copy it.
A friend of mine bought it and I tried it. I must say pretty interesting and the way the grip is designed really fits ergonomically and is the proper grip for backhand.
i'm not against the design. Actually i gave some thots about it several years ago on how to reshape the handle for better backhand. I think there are some overgrip with groove texture but it only help forehand stroke. I havent tried backhand king racket, if it doesn't interfere with my other strokes, i'm for it. however, u have to make 2 designs, one regular and one for lefties.
are they saying you should use this racquet when playing your normal game or is this just for training your backhand?
hehe, the racket is not for me... my backhand is quiet good... just showing some stuff that i found, and asking if its really helpful, it can be used as B-day present
My friend have bought this one. It is called Guobao racket in chinese.Not only for backhand. Maybe the sohubuy.com translate it not so proper.
