The Russians seem to do it lots, the guy we picked 22nd overall, Emile Poirier, does it too.

Yea, my backhand was pretty much non-existent as well, so that was a factor. Being able to go backhand to forehand in tight to get a quick snapshot away and gain a couple of feet of angle can help a ton too.
