Language barrier, Carl. Lets see you have a discussion in Swedish shall we?
A good backhand doesn't exist in a vacuum or isolation. It's good compared to something. If you don't understand that you don't understand life.

Oh god of Delphi. Oh great Phoebus Apollo.....
Phoebus Apollo: Phoebus is an epithet meaning "bright", "shining". It was an epithet that indicated Apollo was sometimes depicted as the god of the sun. It would have given an ancient Greek person familiar with all the traditional tales an instant descriptive image of the god.
Dirty Old Man: Dirty Old is a descriptive phrase that gives you an instant picture of the person being described. Just as, for the Ancient Greeks, "Pheobus" would give an instant image of some of the concepts the god Apollo was wrapped in.
"Good backhand" IS NOT AN EPITHET. It is simply a basic description. It does not give a larger than life image of Pitch. Most top players have a good BH. I have seen Pitch give FZD trouble when they go BH to BH, so, "good BH" when describing Pitch may be an understatement but IT DEFINITELY IS NOT AN EPITHET.
In your post you say: "I don't challenge the claim." But anyone who watches Pitch play can see he can play with most of the top players fairly decently BH to BH. Right?
I am left scratching my head about how you attacked NL for saying Pitch has a good BH. It is almost like your are arguing simply to argue.
