Mike Marinas of Daly City, CA is a great hardbat player and he switches the blade from one hand to the other so smoothly and seamlessly that not everyone...
Indeed, both Mike and his twin brother Dan are fully ambidextrous, and Mike in particular switches so easily that he will often do it just to play an...
As Scott said, switching hands is perfectly legal. Throwing the racket to effect a return, however, is not. The racket must be held, usually in your hand,...
... I figured as much. First time I did it was utterly reflexive... trying to get an extremely short ball back over the net, without thinking I just tossed...
Both Marinas brothers (San Francisco TT Club) have made serious committments to ambidexteriousity <g>. Mike, normally a right-handed inverted penholder, plays...
