Miguel Rodriguez's Audacious Lob - OneShot

[@jillsladen-pilon7571]

This is terrific. I’ve been playing squash for 25 years, and when I watch pro matches it all happens a bit fast for me, so this type of analysis and replay is really terrific. Thanks! Inspiring me to try a few lobs tonight at our charity tournament. Cheers!

Notwithstanding this specific shot, I've noticed that Rodriguez (at least lately) often doesn't really lunge in when picking up an opponent's drop or boast. It's like he almost "runs" through them, so much so that he has to literally push himself back from the wall afterwards. I wonder if he does it to recover faster, to conserve energy, to avoid injury or for some other reason. But it's certainly uncommon among the pros.

I believe it's because he feels it's faster. I wrote an article about it a little while back: bettersquash.com/over-running-shots-in-professional-squash/
