  • Controlling the racket head means controlling the squash ball. Specifically, being able to hit soft shots from your opponent's hard shots is a skill you can learn and develop. The drill in this video has three progressions from three locations on the court.
    Once you have watched the video, let me know if you have any questions via the comments and I will response as soon as I can.
    BTW, the whole video was recorded on my phone, except for the overhead view, which was recorded with a YI 4k action camera. I am quite impressed with the quality. Not as good as my Panasonic camcorder, but good enough for this sort of video. Please let me know in the comments if you have any feedback about the actual recording quality - thanks.

    Hello coach
    Can you post a weekly schedule
    To improve my game and movement
    I will try that out
    Thanks

      Without knowing anything about you, it's very difficult. Honestly, I don't have enough time to do these things for people. I would suggest something like this though:
      20% on solo drills and technical improvement.
      30% on pair drills and conditioned games,
      30% on your fitness - you have to decide how much strength, cardio, flexibility etc
      10% on friendly matches
      10% on competitive matches

      @BetterSquash  7 місяців тому

      Let me be honest, the backhand footage got corrupted, so I just posted the forehand version. It's the same technique anyway.
