Well, jumping in order to take a higher ball may work, but the usual BH jumping, including this in the shared video, is in oder to give additional upword and forword impuls to the BH strong, which is lacking the force of the FH swing. In addition this "jump" helps with the following micro stepping of the footwork, helps to keep the temp and breathing. Its very well visible in all women BH strokes. Men have much more power and in a dynamic play it may be not so visible, but its still there, even when taking very low balls - you may see for example how FZG jumps although the ball is so low that he has almost to sit.
