Video time bar looks like the red line of the squash court.

I’ve been trying to improve my back hand return of serve for a long time now with little success. Today I tried out your tips and it felt really good! I think my problem was the lack of movement. It really made a big difference to follow your steps, definitely gonna stick with this!

Nice video, this is probably my weakest shot which is a problem because it puts me at a disadvantage from the start of the point!

Great video. How about one for the forehand side? I struggle to return serve straight on the forehand side.

Any news on the Stingray Ball Machine 4:10? Looks like it never progressed past the prototype stage.

This has to be one of my biggest failings, I've legit lost a good 10 games because I lost a load of points to missing these shots. I resorted to volleying it into the other corner.

I have finally been able to work out a method for myself. The few things I do(same as I had several points before my gold swing- I have 11 points Tiger Woods I believe has 100+ check points before swinging) 1) I realised I was too close to the wall. Now I am at a distance where as I swing I barely touch the wall 2) I rotate myself backward to get the power…but here is the trick that I developed for myself.. I have timed my backward movement to be triggered by the sound of the ball hitting the wall. Just use that sound to synchronise your backward winding of the torso. Add these two to the other aspects of the swing and see if you can workout a method that works for you. I have been able to return the serves to land on either back corners with this…my overall return of serve has improved significantly.

Some of those returns are very hard for the server to then get to - certainly at our club level.

Stingray works well with blue balls Great video 👍

@ES-zj2tq 5 жыл бұрын

Any idea why the stringray uses blue balls rather than the usual black ones?

@arnaud78 5 жыл бұрын

@@ES-zj2tq I'd say the only reason is because black balls will be cold, therefore impractical to use due to the lack of bounce. The blue balls bounce much more readily when cold, so it's a better simulation of a black ball in a match.
