Thank you for the video. I train like a madman so I can get to a high level in squash. The basic fundamentals will always be important to me, this video serves as a good reminder for myself.
Thank you Zoe. I have access to a squash court, but no coaches. So these videos were really helpful. Getting better now but using these learnings and playing with other players. Thank you.
Great vid I hope u didn't stop, keep creating squash community needs more creators.... But only 2 or 3 tips for u if u r interested In the forehand try to focus on the follow through bc u stop the swing in middle so u need a lot of power to get the right length, second thing in the backhand u should try using ur shoulder more to get more power, these things would save much power and make it easier for u, best wishes ✌️
great video, congrats. I used to be a player in German national team when I was much younger, trainer for men in different liguaes and single persons. Had a lot of trainers from Pakistan and Australia. Great - best - sports for sure but be aware of consequences for your health in later years. Please do not over exercise.
What do you mean when you say that “consequences for your health?” I’m a beginner at squash and I’m 30 years old, is there a possibility having a bad damage on the knees or something like that?
@@HilalGungorr yes, definitely. Well, I was 11 years old when I started squash in 1979. This is of course centuries ago... but I have real damages from it on knees and right shoulder. You have to consider to practise also the other muscles and get some kind of compensation in order to stay poised with the rest of your body. Squash is cool definitely, fun and more than efficient but hard for the body if you do not look for enough compensation within it. Nevertheless, enjoy it! Take care for the whole body.
These look great, heading out shortly to try these out. How often would you say is recommended to drill solo? I play twice a week at the mo and feel like this would be useful to add on top of the games? Thanks!
Get on court and have fun! I'd also suggest getting a few coaching lessons to start out so that you can learn good technique and movement from the start
I also like to do cross court drops from the back court, as well as back court straight drops, plus straight vollies into cross court nick smashes. Practicing to hit the nick is essential
Hi, My name is kamran.I am from Pakistan. I am squash player I have played squash for one years , how can I improve my game in less time , I want to be a professional player in future ,
Hey , i just started playing squash 3 months ago and i am trying to get better so here i am . I really like the drill and i will be doing them , but how do i apply these mid game , for example the butterflies .
You wouldn't actually do a butterfly during the game. It's just practice to have your body quick to react based on muscle memory. I think the main point of the butterfly is using forehand and backhand swings immediately one after another. Which is nice because you don't know where the ball's gonna go and what position ur body is in currently.
The hotter the ball the bouncier it gets, so definitely important to warm the ball up. I do live in QLD, Australia so it is very warm here which helps keep the ball warm
I don't think the drop shot should be practice that way. From my point of view the ball must find the side wall after bouncing on the floor, so the opponent can't take it out. It's not about don't getting the ball, it's about been impossible to get it up. Let me know what you think. Thanks anyway for what you does, this helps sport a lot.
How do u keep maintaining ur form during straight drives ; I keep mishitting and its pretty frustrating, and then before I know it I am not standing in the right place any more :(
Nice work and good form. I would encourage the viewers not to break their wrist on the backhand as that is a common mistake, along with ensuring they have an open grip on the forehand to despite how odd it might feel to them. Maybe you could do a video just on that subject. G'day! :)
Hi Zoe, I am a beginner, and I have a terrible backhand, and can barely volley. Does it get better with time and practice, using these solo drills, or is there something else I can do?
They will get better with time and practice and these drills will definitely help too! Making sure you have the correct grip and technique helps too :)
Take power off your shot. Focus on accuracy rather than power. Which means to hit the ball higher up the front wall, for now. Nice slow swings to start
