It boggles my mind how people think that Brodie or any player can pass just as accurate and hard on their backhand as their forehand. A good break out requires a great first pass which needs to be both hard and accurate, you just can’t do that as well on your backhand.

Babcock sums it up pretty good
Have the two of you just.. never seen TJ Brodie make a pass on his backhand? You're just arguing generalities when we've got a guy who can complete 175 foot sauce passes on the tape on his backhand - among other things.
