With Lisa's commentary skills, it's easy to forget she's pretty sharp on court too! 💃

Need to also introduce the different types of squash balls - kids, beginner, internediate, club, etc. I’ve seen so many highly athletic beginners quit learning because “the ball doesn’t bounce” and immediately flock to racquetball or pickleball.

I saw the short version of this first, where you tried to cram in too much info and I didn’t notice any mention of there being a longer video (KZbin recommended it to me later). This is much better although you should have shown it to people who know nothing about the game then asked them about the rules. It seems obvious to a squash player but when you are showing things like the ball going out or double bouncing, a graphic might make it clearer for a complete novice. Let and stroke rules are complicated and you did a relatively good job of simplifying them but using more graphics to explain the concepts might have helped. It always surprises me when a novice has that blank look on their face after you try to explain such things and you have to pull back and talk them through it. You probably have more detailed videos on each of the things spoken about in the video so you could have put a list in the description and mentioned it in the video as well to try and get people to click more… I haven’t come across a better explanation yet so of those that I’ve seen this is pretty good.

(1) At 1:16 it is stated that the served ball must fall "in the opposite back corner of the court" and a lovely lime green box is shown to illustrate what that means. The green box correctly excludes the short line and the centre line. The ball is indeed bad if it touches either of those red lines. However, upon its appearance, the lime green box creates two additional red lines, one at the wall and one on the floor at the back. These do not exist and the ball is (of course) allowed to touch those two areas of the floor. (Your graphics guy made a mistake with two of the four edges of of his lime green box, the green should have extended all the way to the back wall and all the way to the base of the side wall.) (2) I find that the simple statement that "red is out" or that "if the ball touches any line, it is bad" is very helpful and memorable general statement to make, in teaching the basics. In this video, it is the more needful because the lime green box for what is good for first contact with the floor (coming from a serve), that I mention here in my item #1, appears on the screen for perhaps two seconds. People might not notice that it excludes the short line, and correctly so. (3) One the three cases presented as to when a stroke is to be awarded is not quite right. At 3:09 it says that one of them is that the striker is "blocked from playing a winning shot". It does not have to be a winning shot, it just has to be a shot that the striker could have made such that the ball could have been made to go, by the striker, directly to the front wall. It is a great video for its conciseness and efficiency of delivery, and the young lady has good verbal elocution and pace. Her Scottish accent is not strong. I mention this because I know people whose 1st language is not English and they have trouble following a speech (for example) if that speech is delivered by a person with a hefty Scottish or Irish or Cockney (etc) accent. For myself such accent makes it more enjoyable but that is not true of everyone.

This is a fantastic video. Any chance you could do the same for racketball (Aka squash 57)

NO, NO; NO. When doing an introduction to squash, it is a MUST to explain to beginners never to play a ball that they think might be dangerous. Basically, that means they might hit their opponent with the racquet or the ball. It is not enough to speak of lets and strokes and illustrate it with some rather complicated video extracts. You need to add diagrams here and insist on the danger. This is how you stop people loosing eyes in squash. Without that, any video introduction to squash is severely lacking
