brian is n28 and plays doubles with his older bro dan (or something). at this tournament, 2 things impressed the crowd.
1) they used 2 handled rackets.
2) Brian tosses the ball up with his right arm, switches his racket into his right arm, jumps nearly 7 1/2 feet up in the air and produces a booming 135mph serve!

brian battistone uses a two handle racket and uses a volleyball serve for both 1st (high bouncing flat serve) and the 2nd serve (kick serve/slice don't know which one for sure) On his first serve he holds his custom racket that you can buy with his left hand and tosses the ball with the right and then spins his racket over to his right hand while jumping into the air and hits the ball
Brian Battistone demonstrates a more advanced shot with the natural power grip two handled tennis racket called the "Flip" shot. It is similar to the Rafael Nadal squash shot slice that he hits when he is well outside the court. It stays low on the bounce and gives him time to get back into the point.
