Two hander?

Pat Child suggested today that I give the two hander a try to take some stress off my wrist. Makes sense.

Singles today

Closing my eyes for the service toss while tossing into the sun seemed to work out OK today, as long as I remembered to still get a decent racket drop before swinging at the ball. I was able to find it after opening my eyes more easily than I would have expected. This was with the sun out to the right between 1:30 and 3:30.

The topspin forehand wasn't nearly as bad as usual today. "Sling the closed, locked "L" from the inside" after a good shoulder turn was mostly working. Also hit on letting the racket head get above my hand on even "moderately" high balls. Exaggerating keeping the face feel closed helped on both sides.
