Interactive Forum October 2020: Brandon Nakashima Backhand

Brandon Nakashima Backhand

I saw Brandon Nakashima play for the first time in his run to the quarterfinals in Delray Beach early this year—one of the last pro events pre-Covid. I really liked his game and his attitude!

Last month we looked at his forehand. This month is two-handed backhand. Let’s have your analysis in the Forum!

How flat is that backhand?

[jeremy93]

Interesting how he seems to have little to no space between his fingers on the grips

[vrc10s]

It is interesting how closed his shoulders are at contact. Bent/straignt arm combo, but but very closed hips and shoulders.

[John Yandell]

That's pretty typical on two handers especially bent straight.

[zinosman]

Pegada boa para bolas do quadril para baixo.
Bolas altas terá dificuldades.

Good grip for balls from the hip down. Tall balls will have difficulties. ...Google translate
