Amazing video. I can't get the wrist positioning and supination right unfortunately but at least I know what I'm doing wrong

With lighter rackets the wrist play will increasingly factor more in all areas too. Cheers.

What part of the backhand drive do you struggle with? Was this video helpful?

@cruzcham 4 жыл бұрын

yes very helpful! I am only confused about wrist position, is it always cocked?

Why are you saying "Modern Squash"? What is the difference?

@Dcp0001a 5 жыл бұрын

Not sure who you've based this on ... I'm guessing Peter Nicol ..though my guess may be a little biased due to the left handed version of you being shown here! One question - in drive prep when you mention rotation of the upper body (chest) towards the back wall - what about the hips ? Do you think of rotating the hips to some degree also ? Or should they be kept parallel with the side wall ?

Yep the hips must also rotate. The rotation will be limited if they stayed parallel.

The issue with the wrist is always very conservative or very traditional with cocked or flexed wrist, where every coaches say the wrist should be firm. But if the wrist doesn't get flexible, you will never be able to adjust your racket to the sweet spot, or even hit the ball downwards, especially in the backhand.

Yes very true. I intentionally left out discussing the wrist position at each stage of the swing because that would be an entire video on its own!

I think what's advised is keeping the wrist stable in the preparation (so no wrist-twirling) but snapping it as you hit like in golf.

very nice video. One question. Some coaches think that at top of swing, you should be able to see your racket strings. But I watch many players where their swings actually face the back wall, or the back corner, rather than the side wall. Do you think this matters? Thanks

Thats more about style than anything else,I was always taught that your racket starts behind your head which if you think about it it does actually do that even if you prep the racket in front of your face or slightly behind,it still comes from behind your head as you bring it through anyway

I like the video but I'm not sure why it's called "Modern" as this was the way I was taught how to play back in the 1970's. Only a slight difference, back then the follow through finished perhaps a bit higher.
