Advantages of 2-handed haptic anchoring in pronunciation work

A few excerpts from a sports websiteblog that could as well be describng beautifully the felt sense and effectiveness of haptic anchoring w/both hands involved:

. . . all of your upper torso will be behind the [stroke]
. . . two-handed . . . is more forgiving.
. . . two-handed . . . frequently known for hitting . . . incredible angles.
. . . two-handed . . . is easier to “groove” (hit consistently) and keep grooved than a one-handed
 . . . Without the extra controlling presence of the non-dominant arm, there is much greater potential for unwanted motion both horizontally and vertically.
. . . two-handed . . . from each side are identical, the learning that occurs on one side will serve to reinforce the learning that takes place with the other stroke.
. . . two-handed . . . are more powerful and are hit with a greater degree of control and touch.
. . . The less you attempt to do, the less there is that can go wrong
. . . when using two hands from both sides, I’m breathless by the end .
. . . What have you got to lose?

Game, set, match!
