doublehand

Doublehand refers to a grip style used in various activities, most notably in sports like tennis, badminton, and squash, and in the context of wielding certain weapons. In racket sports, a doublehand grip involves using both hands on the racket handle during a swing. This typically offers more control and power compared to a single-hand grip, though it can sometimes limit reach and flexibility. The specific technique for a doublehand grip can vary, with some players favoring a two-handed forehand and others a two-handed backhand.

Beyond racket sports, the term "doublehand" can also describe how a two-handed sword is held and wielded. This grip allows for greater leverage and force when striking, making it effective for powerful cuts and thrusts. The way a doublehand sword is managed often dictates the fighting style, emphasizing strength and momentum. In different contexts, the underlying principle remains consistent: the utilization of both hands to enhance grip, control, and the application of force.
