French discovered his love for pickleball in 2018 after his parents introduced him to the game while he was playing tennis in his spare time. As Brandon’s proficiency in the game grew, he started participating in more competitive events, eventually deciding to compete against professionals.
Originally from Lima, Ohio, Brandon’s background in table tennis and tennis, combined with his unique approach to pickleball, has made him a formidable opponent on the court. He possesses a remarkable reach and a wristy shot that allows him to put significant spin on the ball, while his unconventional grip style makes him deceptive and unpredictable.
