Here is one of my favorite female Ambiplayers to watch. Su Wei Hsieh is very creative with great touch and feel.
Watch carefully her grip structures. She plays a rare combination of two double handed backhands. There was a successful top 10 American male player Gene Mayer who played the same way.
This style has more grip shifting with the hands than the Monica Seles ambi style which has a two handed forehand on one side and a two handed backhand on the other—no sliding of the hands. That saves more time in terms of shifting.
Watching the sliding hands of players like Gene Mayer or Hsu Wei is like watching the hands of a master concert pianist—it’s magical.
When stretched out wide, Hsu Wei will use a slice forehand and save shots with one hand—both lefty and righty.
I’m open to training players with either two double handed forehands, two double handed backhands as shown here, or two single handed forehands. I love the symmetry and variety.
This is part of the technical beauty of the game—a wide array of styles.
Please share your thoughts.
