It seems my need to experiment with all the possibilities has followed me into tennis.

1. Backhand slice with eastern forehand grip-can really take a rip at the ball and hit huge backspin. Can be harder to get much pace though.
2. Backhand slice with continental grip-less backspin, have to be careful not to swing too hard, does better on low balls than eastern forehand grip though. Does get more pace though.
3. Backhand slice with eastern backhand grip-has more of an awkward follow through and can hurt the heel of your hand. Gets a side spin which is kind of useless really.

4. One hand backhand drive with eastern forehand grip-no topspin but otherwise not as bad as it might seem.
5. One hand backhand drive with continental grip-still can't get much topspin with any meaningful control. Feels beautiful if just hitting easy but can't get aggressive with it.
6. One hand backhand drive with eastern backhand grip-much better for hitting topsin. Lower balls still a possibility.
7. One hand backhand drive with extreme eastern backhand grip-low balls are just too hard. Also shoulder muscle starts bothering me with trying to swing upwards so hard.

8. Two handed backhand-I find the eastern forehand grip for both hands the best. Bringing one of both hands around for more topspin might seem like a good idea but I mishit balls and don't get enough pace on them. With two hands you can be more precise and good ahead and hit pretty flat. Although I can still hit topspin and backspin with the double eastern forehand grip.

9. Forehand slice with continental grip or (10.) eastern forehand grip-I've had more practice with continental but this is one that I don't think matter much. Eastern forehand feels slightly less natural but can still work fine with practice, I think.

11. One hand forehand drive- continental is too awkward, while the (12 and 13) extreme topspin grips mean you start leaning back away from the ball and throwing your body around too much, thus too many errors and not enough pace through the court also. (14) Eastern gives enough topspin without going overboard and can also hit backspin.

15. Two handed forehand-but people still hit so many errors on their forehands and when your racquet weighs over 15 ounces this is especially an issue. With two hands both in the eastern forehand position I have so much better control still with plenty of power. Can still hit topspin along with backspin or perfectly flat as I have so much control. Additionally it's easier on the arm.

So I think I've settled on two handed backhand and forehands using the eastern forehand grip (or maybe slightly over to the handshake grip) for both hands. Hitting drives and slices this way. Except when serving I take short balls with a one handed continental grip right now. In large part because I don't want to hit the serve with a continental grip, switch to eastern for the short ball and then switch back to continental for volleys.

Thinking to try eastern forehand volleys.

Think playing with a very heavy racquet with two hands is a very good idea that I don't think maybe has ever (?) been done.
