I used to play tennis competitively as a kid/teenager. I settled on 1H BH because I liked the style, thought the movement was beautiful. In my later years playing (around 2003-2004) I definitely suffered because of it, most players were using grippier strings with 2H BH. I didn't have much access to these niche strings, it wasn't easy to import them into my home country, they would get from relatives traveling abroad, I was quite poor and hence played with subpar gear. I tried to adapt by going to a 2H BH for more power but... It's really not my style.
I still play sometimes and will never let go of my 1H BH, there's some part of my child still thinking the movement is absolutely beautiful. Even more when sliding on a clay court.
