in changing grips for backhand, which hand should do the turning, the right or the left?

Coach is correct use your left hand to get the back hand racket ready as long as you are a right-handed tennis player. You hit with the hand that you favor in sports. Are you typically right handed when you write or throw a ball. Or are you left handed. Me I write left handed but throw,golf and play tennis with my right hand.

You decide by starting out with a straight stick, and when you play you involuntary play with the stronger one.  That is how we figured out which way my brother should play with.  Which turns out he is the first lefty in the family, but he writes right handed.\n\nI played with a right-handed stick from the beginning because it was more comfortable.  But then I became a goalie, and that just messes everything up.  Right now, I catch lefty because I just figured my right hand was stronger on the stick.  But now I am not so sure.\n\nI can play out with both types of sticks, and with both I am pretty evenly strength.  (Just thought I would tell you that I can play with both hands too!  I think it is kind of cool.)

I've heard it claimed that right-handed men tend to curve to the left, and left-handed men to the right... no idea if it's true or not!\n\nOn the plus side, women pay extra for toys with a curve as they're supposed to reach their g-spot easier. You have a natural advantage!\n\n(I curve to the left and no-one has said it's a problem)

Hi,\n\nThis simply some userinterface ideology.\n\nIF your right handed it is theoretically correct to make the pointer to the left.\n\nIt is because when you right with a pencil, and your using your right hand... Notice the direction of the pencil is pointing.. Yes to the left.\n\nIf your left handed and wishing to change the pointer, you need to goto START/CONTROL PANEL/Mouse\n\nIn that setting, you can indicate that your left handed.\nThe pointer will change

From the left side of the pins instead of the right...more to the point:\n\nBrooklyn: A first ball to the left of the headpin for right-handers, to the right of it for left-handers. (crossing over)

I use a semi-western forehand grip because it allows for the most versatility.  It allows you to hit heavy topspin while also allowing you to dig out low balls and return them without setting up your opponent with a ball that sits up.  Balls that sit up make for easy passing shots or heavy topspin groundstrokes toward a corner.  Hope this helps

I am also left handed, but I do not understand your question.  Please elaborate.  I'd like to help.

Practice is the first component to improving your roundoff backhand spring. If you are going sideways that often means that you are pushing more with one hand than you are the other. Try evening out your force by pushing more with the other hand. Also try making it tighter by visualizing putting your feet in the exact place where your hands just were. Visualization is often just enough to help you get the outcome you want. Good luck!

Well, if it's on the right side of the door then I would say left.  You tend to reach for the handle with the opposite hand no matter which way the door opens.

=those that can use both hands equally will get along better if they were to loose the use of their dominant hand.  My guess of the two would be right handed because that is left brain controlled.

You need to roll your wrists.  How do you know if you're rolling your wrists - when you swing, the back of the hand that is on top (if you're right handed it's your right hand, if you're left handed it's your left hand) should face up about midway through your swing.

My one-handed backhand is an eastern backhand and is more of a driving shot with less topspin compared to my semi-western forehand.  An effective shot, but with less margin for error especially when dealing with lots of pace. Hope this helps.
