If you had to,

It depends if you are a righty or lefty golfer and if you want to hit or swing. I know this will open up a can of worms with the "Right Arm Swing".

I'm asking you if you had to, so if you are right or left or hit or swing.

I would use the backhand technique for the reasons 12 pc. laid out.

Interesting that a long driver would use the right, I'd love to see the video.

Frankly, you'd be struck with whatever arm you were left with.

So in the meantime- lets use both. Primary & Secondary Levers on the left- Extension Action on the right. Educated HandS.

Which arm delivers the far more powerful blow in tennis forehand or backhand? Just ask Roger Federer (Tiger probably did at the open).
No contest - right arm.

In tennis many people find the single handed backhand a harder shot to master than the forehand. I mean how often do we do anything bachhanded in our daily lives? If your like me not that often. For this reason i think the backhand is harder to learn as it doesn't come so naturally. Theres also other factors involved such as the backhand is a longer stroke and requires more precise timing which is harder to execute when given little reaction time.

You would always choose your dominant hand / arm. This is independent of whether you hit or swing. If right handed and one wanted to swing => get left handed clubs.

Brilliant! If you wanted to do both, just carry a mix of lefty and righty clubs.

At long last I feel validated!

I am right hand dominant, prefer to swing, and I play left handed.

What does it mean then, that most right swinging players are left hand dominant?

This is a wild shot, but what the hey? Why do baseball players swing a bat with their dominant hand away from the pitcher? So that their dominant hand can support the reactive force of hitting the ball from the most advantageous point, behind the bat.

In golf, there is the supporting role, but also a precision role. In TGM, most of the sensing is in the right hand (PP#1 and #3). Wouldn't you rather have your dominant hand directing traffic than your non-dominant hand?
