This is brilliant. I am playing tennis now. There is a hundred times more tennis content online on every possible topic, but I have never seen this; pro commentary on an amateur game.

[@halbrenner8635]

this is why squash is so fun. even if youre doing a lot wrong and not the best, if you play some one of the same skill its an epic battle. tennis cannot provide the same thing to lower level players.

[@ShellysAshes]

The two players in this video are actually pretty bloody good.

[@jonneym]

Pro commentary on an amateur game is very educational. Watching these two guys play i'm guessing they would be in division 3 playing in the squash league at my local sports centre. Watching them battle it out you realise how little they vary the shots off the front wall with very few high drives.

[@gordoncampbell4706]

Can u please do more of these???

[@marcuu5]

totally brilliant I can so use this right now

[@ewallt]

Nice analysis. If Andy can return serve like that, he should be able to hit rails like that too, which is much easier than returning serve. Those were pro level returns. I’d for sure be wanting to lift the ball deep to the backhand, and sit on the backhand volley, with an eye on the boast. A lot of players at this level cannot get a deep lifted backhand past their opponent. A super common error is not making use of the high part of the front wall.

[@gordoncampbell4706]

Andy is not orienting his body properly to maximize wait transfer and upper body hip turn. Over use of the boast and poor shot selection is another issue he should work on. Taking his room in the court as well, because Jamey is crowding his swing in order to rush Andy. Once these issues are addressed, both their games will improve. Cheers from Canada.

[@ImranKhanCardiac]

Great observations Gordon. Just a question. I am always scared of the racket swing of my opponent and because of that i lose many points. How to tackle this issue?

[@gordoncampbell4706]

@@ImranKhanCardiac very common problem for those who want to remain beautiful and not lose some teeth. Firstly it is best to lose the game and stay safe when required to deal with poor stroke mechanics. Some swings are so severe, the striker will hit you on the back swing as well as the follow through. Solution is to use the dimensions of the court to neutralize your opponent's dangerous swing. Pin your opponent into the four corners of the court, this will require a high level of precision from you. Lots of practice and patience until you can consistently force your opponent into the corners, where the walls will eliminate the danger and hamper your opponent's attack. Good luck and best regards!

[@ImranKhanCardiac]

Thank you for the great top.

[@emiletoscano]

Andy doesn’t have very good shot selection and doesn’t always turn his body into the shot. When he has his feet set and turns his body then he hits nice shots. Jamie isn’t quite as fit or as talented as Andy. Jamie gets too close to the ball and he doesn’t have explosive movement. I would say both are 3.5-4.0 level players

[@ibits9527]

That ball is dead as a door knob. Amateurs really shouldn't be playing with a ball that requires such a high playing temperature. It doesn't help their game, and actually hurts it because it requires so little skill to win a point.

[@bustertornado5433]

Glass courts are usually a lot more "dead" than normal ones so the ball is probably fine, but the court soaks up a lot of power.
