How often have you heard that overarm strikes are inaccurate? I can't do this with an underarm strike, and I can do this repeatedly for minutes on end with overhand. A tennis ball is not all that much bigger that the eye hole of a helmet. This would ruin your day.
If anyone can do this in underhand, please post it. This is a 9' dory, held back beyond the point of balance so that it was quite front heavy because I took the sauroter off the shaft for storage- you can see where I held it in the other gifs I posted here.

I am posting here on my mirror site because I will redo these in panoply and post on youtube, but I need a place to show there for argument.

Or with a larger range of motion if no one is in front of you:
