Hey Alex, yes quite the thumb is very important on the backhand side for adjustment of the bat angle and also controlling the bat and putting pressure on the ball. From the video you sent it looks good and having the thumb slightly higher on the backhand often helps players improve their shots and definitely the squeezing the bat feeling you mentioned is key to that so keep working on it!
We will be adding some new videos very soon then we filmed over video call and then hope to be back in the studio filming soon!
Thanks, Dan 🙂
