To all the active coaches:

• Sharath said something that is profound starting at 19mins 50sec mark.
• It is to do with with those who are FH dominant stylist.
• These days, with the modern game and shake-hand grip being the dominant grip; we see at the highest level, BH to BH quick drive being the main stroke.
• It appears the BH dominant is becoming the norm.
• So, my question to you all; is FH dominant strategy still worth pursuing?
• If one who has not solidify their play style yet, is BH-BH dominancy the way to go?
• Please advise thank you.
