regarding movement to the front , can the direction of the foot big toe of the back leg help to square body to the lateral wall ?

This is great, please share something on what should be the stepping in the court and also how to practice backhand.

@@curtiscorbysquash definitely the twchnical aspects, pros like u make it look too easy. I play at level 5 at club squash i dont think many can play that shot. From what i can tell its more like a pulling towards urself shot than a regular swing

Curtis everything you say here strikes a chord with me as I too often get too close to the ball, especially on my backhand at the back of the court. I find mental prep before taking a shot is key for me, so I need to/must tell myself more often 'prep!' as I move to the the shot. It works when I remember to do it. A point raised in one of the other comments here is around leg strengthening which helps particularly with shots at the front of the court - I've been doing 1 leg weights workout a week (squats, deadlifts, lunges/Bulgarian split squats) for several months now and this has helped me getting to the ball and lowering my stance (not saying I do it every time though 😅), but overall I have seen an improvement by having stronger legs. Excellent video and please keep them coming, perhaps something around backhand serving, also receiving serve would be great! 😀👍

Thank you so much for the great feedback!!!! 100% your prep with the racket can help your movement, it gives you an awareness of space you need at the ball if you prepare early!!! I’m constantly telling players when doing a drill related to this to get their rackets back!! Hahaha but amazing feedback and thank you for supporting the channel!!! I will keep that in mind and funny enough the serve is something that will feature in this series!

Thanks for the video! I guess it goes without saying, some strength training is going to be a great help for these movements. Do you have any favourite strength training exercises like lunges or others?

@curtiscorbysquash 3 ай бұрын

Yes absolutely! I’ve been doing drills with my coach in the front of the court to help do what I’ve just described, equally ghosting is always good for movement and set ups, if not variations of boast and drive are simple and can help you practice these movements! Lunges, weighted lunges etc are great for it! I do some speed work on a spinning bike to gain that explosive movement away from a squash court or things like explosive squats etc

@finmistwrdpn8900 3 ай бұрын

I agree with your assessment, but I find that I don't have the time to track the ball first to the back wall and then square to the side wall to make the shot. Any tips on how I can solve this issue. Similarly when approaching the front wall, options you suggest are great but again I can seem to have the time to put myself in that position. Thanks,

@curtiscorbysquash 3 ай бұрын

With the movement to the front I find if you focus on racket prep and getting the racket back as you move it helps the setup on the way to the ball as it allows the body to rotate, in terms of not having time off the back wall I would look at either the speed in which your leaving the T or watching the ball ( you would be amazed how many people don’t do that properly) or looking to rotate at the back of the court to allow yourself to get behind the ball. Hope this helps! Thanks so much for your comment and question!

Thanks this is a great series. I feel the biggest limitation for rec players like myself is the swing. Everything else is just a byproduct of it. For eg if I swing with my arm and I'm playing against someone who has a proper swing, I simply don't have the chance to "keep it tight", "push up the T" or "take the volley" as it takes me too much time and energy to get in and out of every shot. I feel like this is too obvious for coaches and pros to point out, but rec players sometimes tend to think it's a free choice on their end instead of their opponent's doing.

@curtiscorbysquash 3 ай бұрын

It’s a great point and one that I tell my lessons every day! The swing is the easy part and the end product of a good setup and position at the ball! Glad you’re enjoying the series! There will be more coming!!! 💪

Jahangir Khan …. After watching him play an exhibition match at Jebel Ali Squash Club (Dubai) on his 18th birthday (December 1981) I was introduced to him by my then coach Abbas Khan ( who had himself reached No.7 world ranking in late 70’s). Unfortunately I missed you playing at Exeter as I was there on Saturday but what a great day out. Was not surprised that Jonah Bryant went on to win the final. Looking forward to you breaking the 6,000 target.

I would go further .. many amateurs are afraid of taking the high volley, forehand or backhand. It often surprises me when I play a lift, how many players wait for the ball to land; as you point out, if I have judged the shot well, they are disadvantaging themselves by waiting - some players (tennis players?) take everything early no matter what and they are more of a problem because they immediately bring urgency back to the rally when I am trying to slow it down .. thankfully they are in the minority!

@Dcp0001a 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for the video! Interesting topic.I think I've always tried to play high cross court shots but I haven't maybe thought about the position on the front wall that I should be aiming for, so I will keep that in mind. Moreover, I feel it's mentally challenging because obviously if you go for height the risk is hitting the ball too high and out, and if you don't get enough height (and width) the risk is you may give your opponent an opportunity to attack with a volley.

@curtiscorbysquash 5 ай бұрын

So that’s a really interesting point and that’s when the technique comes into how you play that shot if you work on getting into a good position at the ball (getting lower) you can then swing through like any other shot and you have so much more feel! Most people don’t get low enough and flick the lobs so subsequently don’t have anywhere near as much feel! Hence the error count is high

@Dcp0001a 5 ай бұрын

@@curtiscorbysquash right, thanks, that’s interesting because I’m tall and I know I don’t get low enough in general in my technique, it’s something I’ve started working on though. More things to keep in mind!

Good point. I think a lot of players are afraid of using height with cross courts as they run the risk of hitting it out. They are great when they stay in, but annoying as hell when they just hit the line. I'm probably guilty as anyone and play about 1 or 2 a game😕

TLDR; They use a floating T They use a split step They play most shots in an open stance They keep their chest facing the front wall at all times and look over their shoulder at their opponents shot They walk or sidestep, rarely run They pick a side after playing a loose shot.

I also use the xtop 125 with the original Dynamix VP strings…. Was thinking of changing to 305’s. Have you tried the xtop with 305’s?

@level27xrock 6 ай бұрын

I have, it's currently my setup with 305 1.10. I love 305 more than VP. Plus if you're still on the stock VP strings that came in the frame, those are 1.25/17g, which is great for durability, but if you want some more power and feel on the ball, then restring in 305 1.10 🔥 I've been a TF user for the last 4 years now, I've dabbled back and fourth with trying classical head shape's in the Supem models and some other classical head shapes from other brands, but Carboflex has always been my main racket of choice and always end up going back to it. Though lately I've been wanting to try a Hybrid shape, and TF's Dynergy line is pretty old, and not sure if they are going to revamp those, so I am going to try a Dunlop Evo 120, and put 305 1.10 in it, very excited to try that out once it gets here
