While as analysing the other player's body position, raquet angle, foot placement and room temperature, I heard the ball whistling past my right ear.

Excellent video. I'm an older squash player who still thinks he's 20 and just runs everything down. However, after watching your videos I am now able to win against mates that I have struggled against for so long. Not to mention a cold beer with friends after playing is always an enjoyable end to a good match.

[@stwang38]

So good. Short and to the point, covering critical stages of movement. Can’t wait to practice it on the court. Thank you!

[@EnriqueHerbella]

So happy that you’re publishing this priceless content again! Thank you so much! 👊

[@janntucek]

Thank you to Seb and everyone at S.O. This is perhaps the best squash content on YT and has helped my game tremendously! Please consider some more matchplay and analysis as I found the insights invaluable to game play. Cheers!

[@drewdrewson5833]

Excellent explanation. I’d love to see more vids on the different boasts with preparation, angles, wall target please .

[@barni42]

The movement examples have been a great help. Watched loads of coaching videos and this one has really helped!

Another excellent video with great coaching advice - Thank you. I am sure the squash community around the world is benefiting from the high quality coaching you are providing. I have watched almost all your videos including the ones in Dutch ( Google auto translate is not good but still I could get the gist of your talk). I appreciate your time and effort in not only making these videos but also in the effort you take in responding to all the comments of the viewers. I suggest you have a patreon account so that people can make voluntary contributions to show appreciation for your effort. I hope to see many more videos from you.

[@henerom]

Another great video with a ton of good information/insight. I've flubbed returning deep crosses to the backhand side a zillion times. I now have a better idea about how to deal with it. Thank you very much.

[@sebastianohnemuller6008]

Would have needed that Video few years ago. Perfect summing up 👍

thank you

[@ClearcuttreesCoUk]

Thanks. Always enjoy your videos and has helped my game a lot. Do you coach in UK?

[@squashoriginals2392]

Thanks! I coach in the Netherlands… 😬

[@mikepaul1742]

Great video with quality info. Regarding perception I still see a blur, not sure what I'm watching. 2 questions 1 - what should be best to start trying to perceive. Timing, racket face or footwork. 2) some players seem to look directly at player and ball until after its been hit. Some, notably Gaultier turn head before ball is hit and seem to wait for ball to come into vision. Do you have a preference and why. Bonus question can you do a video on perception in different parts of court and use of focused vision and peripheral vision? Thanks in hope😁

[@squashoriginals2392]

Good question, I will make a separate video on this topic!

[@mikepaul1742]

@@squashoriginals2392 that would be great. Hopefully soon😀

[@swingeasyguy]

Thanks. Any suggestions on when your opponent plays a hard low crosscourt to your backhand? I guess you'd have to stay high on the T?

[@squashoriginals2392]

You would play it earlier, maybe even on the left foot if possible. I most of the time play a drop using a closed racket face or a medium pace straight kill! You could play a boast to mix things up, but the first two are my most used options! Hope it helps :-)

[@swingeasyguy]

@@squashoriginals2392 Thanks, I've been practicising using the closed face for the backhand drops, haven't put it in game yet!

[@suhailtandel4937]

@@squashoriginals2392 Thanks for a great video. It would be nice if you could demonstrate these shots in one of your future videos . I think the boast would be a risky shot to play since the racquet face would have to be at an acute angle to the path of the ball.
