Thank you for the video. I train like a madman so I can get to a high level in squash. The basic fundamentals will always be important to me, this video serves as a good reminder for myself.
Thank you Zoe. I have access to a squash court, but no coaches. So these videos were really helpful. Getting better now but using these learnings and playing with other players. Thank you.
Thank you and will practice by myself but do u have a drill to work on anticipation (split step)? Quick decisions difficult (TBI) but being shown proper way to play and game is good.
I also like to do cross court drops from the back court, as well as back court straight drops, plus straight vollies into cross court nick smashes. Practicing to hit the nick is essential
Get on court and have fun! I'd also suggest getting a few coaching lessons to start out so that you can learn good technique and movement from the start
Great vid I hope u didn't stop, keep creating squash community needs more creators.... But only 2 or 3 tips for u if u r interested In the forehand try to focus on the follow through bc u stop the swing in middle so u need a lot of power to get the right length, second thing in the backhand u should try using ur shoulder more to get more power, these things would save much power and make it easier for u, best wishes ✌️
great video, congrats. I used to be a player in German national team when I was much younger, trainer for men in different liguaes and single persons. Had a lot of trainers from Pakistan and Australia. Great - best - sports for sure but be aware of consequences for your health in later years. Please do not over exercise.
What do you mean when you say that “consequences for your health?” I’m a beginner at squash and I’m 30 years old, is there a possibility having a bad damage on the knees or something like that?
@@HilalGungorr yes, definitely. Well, I was 11 years old when I started squash in 1979. This is of course centuries ago... but I have real damages from it on knees and right shoulder. You have to consider to practise also the other muscles and get some kind of compensation in order to stay poised with the rest of your body. Squash is cool definitely, fun and more than efficient but hard for the body if you do not look for enough compensation within it. Nevertheless, enjoy it! Take care for the whole body.
These look great, heading out shortly to try these out. How often would you say is recommended to drill solo? I play twice a week at the mo and feel like this would be useful to add on top of the games? Thanks!
Hey , i just started playing squash 3 months ago and i am trying to get better so here i am . I really like the drill and i will be doing them , but how do i apply these mid game , for example the butterflies .
You wouldn't actually do a butterfly during the game. It's just practice to have your body quick to react based on muscle memory. I think the main point of the butterfly is using forehand and backhand swings immediately one after another. Which is nice because you don't know where the ball's gonna go and what position ur body is in currently.
The hotter the ball the bouncier it gets, so definitely important to warm the ball up. I do live in QLD, Australia so it is very warm here which helps keep the ball warm
Hi, My name is kamran.I am from Pakistan. I am squash player I have played squash for one years , how can I improve my game in less time , I want to be a professional player in future ,
How do u keep maintaining ur form during straight drives ; I keep mishitting and its pretty frustrating, and then before I know it I am not standing in the right place any more :(
I don't think the drop shot should be practice that way. From my point of view the ball must find the side wall after bouncing on the floor, so the opponent can't take it out. It's not about don't getting the ball, it's about been impossible to get it up. Let me know what you think. Thanks anyway for what you does, this helps sport a lot.
Hi Zoe, I am a beginner, and I have a terrible backhand, and can barely volley. Does it get better with time and practice, using these solo drills, or is there something else I can do?
They will get better with time and practice and these drills will definitely help too! Making sure you have the correct grip and technique helps too :)
Take power off your shot. Focus on accuracy rather than power. Which means to hit the ball higher up the front wall, for now. Nice slow swings to start
Nice work and good form. I would encourage the viewers not to break their wrist on the backhand as that is a common mistake, along with ensuring they have an open grip on the forehand to despite how odd it might feel to them. Maybe you could do a video just on that subject. G'day! :)

Thank you! I've been searching for drills. Will try this out this morning!
Amazing 😍, thanks for guiding us in a very good way.these drills are very much helpful and effective 👍
great suggestions.. thanks Zoe
Oh really nice and quick explanation for training schedule.👌🏻
Just wondering, for front hand valleys at 1:35 is that how the leg stance should be or the left leg should be at the front?
great drill thank you - off to give them a try.
Hi Zoe, could you please kindly give us some advice regarding playing with a green dot squash ball. Thank you so much in advance!!
Thanks Zoe. Looks great. Will start to practice today onwards. 🙏
Thank you, Zoe. I will put these to use today. Subscribed.
Great video. Just curious which ball you would recommend for a beginner. Is double dot (yellow) a good ball.
Get a blue dot for a beginner (or it might be a white dot depends on where you are) double yellow is for very advanced players 😀
Thank you very much! Very good video! I will start training!
Great and easy explanation, I enjoyed it
Really quick & helpful video. Thanks!
I also like to do cross court drops from the back court, as well as back court straight drops, plus straight vollies into cross court nick smashes. Practicing to hit the nick is essential
Yep, there are plenty more solo drills... these are just 5 basics :)
Great Zoe , I want to start on this sport, what is your first recomendation for a begginer ?
Get on court and have fun! I'd also suggest getting a few coaching lessons to start out so that you can learn good technique and movement from the start
I love how it goes from straight drops to figue 8's
nice explanation. Your videos are good for people like me starting the game.
Thanks zoe, really appreciate the vid!

Amazing thanks!
Just wanted to do this for cardio
hi zoe, what type squash ball that is recommended for solo squash drill? is it double dot yellow?
I use a double yellow dot, but use whatever you normally play with :)

Simple Super Summary !!!
These are really helpful... thank you!!
You're welcome!
This was really terrific!!! Thank you!!
Hi *ZOE* You make this look so easy! The ball is so bouncy : are you based in a hot climate or perhaps at a club that is very well heated ?
a secret to a 'bouncy ball' is hitting it with a strong arm right in the middle of the racket 'sweet spot'. air temp makes no difference
The hotter the ball the bouncier it gets, so definitely important to warm the ball up. I do live in QLD, Australia so it is very warm here which helps keep the ball warm
@@zoeaust_ ah, that explains it, thanks. And thanks for a great drill video 👍🏻
which racket you are using?
Good squash
Thanks zoe~
Thanks for showing these techniques, I am new to squash and learning , very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Thankss

Great video lovely!! 💕💕💕
Thank you 🥰
Helpful!
Great video.
awesome video zoe
Thanks Lee!
I have a little problem in making the forhand and backhand fast
Are you trying to hit the ball too hard?
@@zoeaust_ yes I’m trying to make it higher ever time but I can’t
@@edviscut1228 make sure your racquet face is open 😊
@@zoeaust_ ok thank you ✨🥺
This video made me want to get back into squash 😊 how long have you been playing for?
Yess you should!! I’ve been playing for almost 6 years 😊
How do u keep maintaining ur form during straight drives ; I keep mishitting and its pretty frustrating, and then before I know it I am not standing in the right place any more :(
Keep practicing! It comes with consistency :)
Hi your skin is beautiful, what is your skin routine to clear acne i have oily skin and suffering here
Oh wow, thank you! I've struggled with my skin for years. My favourite products are hyaluronic acid and niacinamide + zinc from the ordinary :)
Please make a video of physical exercise for strength and speed work , thanks
I don't think the drop shot should be practice that way. From my point of view the ball must find the side wall after bouncing on the floor, so the opponent can't take it out. It's not about don't getting the ball, it's about been impossible to get it up. Let me know what you think.
Thanks anyway for what you does, this helps sport a lot.
There’s multiple ways to practice. This drop drill is more about transferring weight front back leg to front leg
Good drills
Thanks!
I am also training to play
Is this the same racket used in tennis?
Nope, different 😊
Wow great video 👍🤩
Thank you 🤗

Nice slow swings to start
Thanks you ty ty :-)
what ball type do you use?
Dunlop double yellow dot 😊
You would not believe how many awful videos I watched until I found you! Thank you so much!
Nice Video!!,
