The way I think of early racquet prep is that your motor neurons can now focus ONLY on where to hit the ball instead of being late with prep takes away precious tactical thinking. Sort of your CPU is being overly taxed if doing all at once at the point of hitting….
At 3:46 min, most amateur servers are quite cautious to moving to the T immediately because they have encountered unpleasant opponents who deliberately or unintentionally attempt to cross return the ball to the opposing side wall before hitting the front wall. This often intimidate the server who may also get hit in their face or head. Only when you get to play with better players who can return to their own side wall or do a proper cross return to the opposing side wall. In my club there is this short player who keep using this intimidating tactics to cross return high balls very close to the opponents' face and this effectively prevent opponents from going to the T. So how do deal with such unethical players other than to avoid playing with them.
@shananarocks Agree, not an easy one at all. Stay out of harms way. It is only a game and should not be win at all costs. Ideally in time and with practice aim to get the ball wider and tighter to the side wall so it takes this unsafe element of the game away. Tangle them up with the side wall and deep back corners then you can take a more aggressive T stance as no way they'll hit you from there
@@JesseEngelbrechtSquash So far you are the only coach who can bring such detail frame by frame analysis including the angle of the body and racket for all level of squash players to truly understand the "basics" that is so hard to master. Thank you.
Was able to relate some of the points I lose similar to the errors talked about here. Looking forward to how you improve!
This is very informative! I can easily relate to some of these areas for improvement 🙂
Thanks. Yeah I’d like to do more longer forms of these also to help others
Awesome, thanks for sharing Jesse and Eugene
Agree, very kind of Eugene to allow this
Great video thanks so much for sharing - I also suffer from having a massive "hitch" in my swing so this is super helpful.
Great we are working on it Alina and deliberate practice will help you get there
Absolutely brilliant analysis Jesse. Super cool
Ah super kind of you to say. Hoping to be allowed to add more of these long ones here as really useful.
Thank you. Informative even for me as a first league player.
Glad to have helped!
great stuff!!

If I close my eyes, it sounds like Jesse is speaking to me. So don't feel bad AT ALL
