Quality movement makes all the difference, glad you liked it. Thanks for the positive comment.

I like the way you think, it is important to put the last step with your it and not the movement.

@@squashanalysis5670 you mean I put the last step with my swing?

@@ahmedhafez6876 Yep exactly, it should have said hit in my above comment.

The answer is to use both the full swing and the short swing which will give your shoulder less work, if you are not under stress the full swing will be fine and should not cause problems and the short swing is perfect for difficult or off balance situations. You will not get any shoulder issues from this loop swing and the power is still great. As you get older you will transition more into the loop swing.

I just tried this way now in a game. Just got off the court and all i can say is that i like it. Shoulder was good and iam back being confortable in using my wrist alot more and freely . Very little if any shoulder fatigue what so ever. Ball went in the direaction i wanted very easily. This will be something ill start working on now. Though iam having a hard time trying to see your swing motion. Maybe do a closer picture and can you show the backhand

​@@simondonaldson4762 Great stuff, you will love it and the deception capabilities will make you even better. Yes I can do a backhand video, I will add it to the list. I have a better camara now so you will be able to see more, thanks for the feedback it helps others see the benefits.

Great to hear, I have been coaching for 40 years and am using this to document all my coaching and hitting methods that have proven to make a difference. You rarely get an insight into a coaching session so to be able to hear and see the adjustments in swing and movement should be fascinating for many players and other coaches to review as well.

Having quality viable options depending on the situation and choosing the best one is a skill in it self and blending the swings will give the best outcome for your abilities. I love your insights and comments which help others to have a good understanding of what I am trying to show, thanks for your input.

​​@@squashanalysis5670 Hey, thanks! Your analytical videos really create awareness of one's own game, it is great! While typing my above comment I couldn't think of a typical PSA "chicken wing" hitter but I found one: the Scottish player Lobban who just played Dessouky in the semis in Manchester. The amount of power is phenomenal and he pelts it with great accuracy !

😂someones paying attention

You must be a nightmare to play and this heads into the elite form of hitting. Sounds like you have it worked out.

I am trying to give an initial showing of important points so people can see an overview of the content, this will peak your interest in the information and hopefully reinforce the information when it is replayed.

It is about understanding the strike balance position and then refining it to be the transition between forward and backward movement. You need longer dwell when beside the ball or holding for deception rather than at t he ball so varying the balanced hover is highly beneficial. Thanks for comments and liking, it helps the channel.

Sure, happy to take requests. I will put it on the list.

Thanks, I have purchased a new camera and mic and have plenty new vids n the way

Glad you found it helpful

Thanks for the feedback and compliment, hitting in front of your body can be good but you need to use advanced racquet ability which I will make a video on but taking the advantage of the split second extra time and gaining the quality is the best way to go most times.

Facing the back wall gives natural prep with your body behind the ball and you unwind hitting with your body muscles rather than your arm, if you face the side wall you need to do a lot of wind up pre to store power or you will only be using your arm muscles.

Thanks, Activating your hip position allows a more floorboard line of swing making it more accurate and quicker to come off. Glad you liked it.

You need to understand the quality of your own shot and realize if there is a threat of the cross then split at the right time landing your feet and push off the outside leg resettling your inside leg slightly in the direction you want to go. Players give indicators they are going to cross especially if they hit hard so don't just watch, watch with an analytical mind.

You do not aim on the front wall at all, you aim where you want the ball to land on the first bounce. The front wall height will vary depending on the height you strike the ball, your position on the court and how hard you hit the ball.

Wow, that is so great that the information has had such an impact. I love squash and to like to help people and your feedback makes it worthwhile, if you can like each video it would really help the channel.

@squashanalysis5670 i watch each of your videos daily or whenever a new one is released. Each video of yours is valuable. Thanks a lot for your effort.

@@fahadaijaz4 Thanks, plenty more to come.

You will get a noticeable improvement in control and power you just have to get your timing right for the movements. Any movement you have not done before will seem strange so give it a few attempts of either foot and you will never look back. The more animated the prep with the left hand the better. Let me know how you go.

Bringing it in to your hip as you swing uses your upper body muscles as well as clearing it from your swing path. Just make sure you don't turn your left hand behind your body.

You can balance with it and you can also use it for power, it is actually very important. Thanks for the feedback and like.

It is a great exercise and at high level becomes about the height you hit the ball to attain active pace without overhitting and gaining full control with a minimal hit. Thanks for the feedback

@@squashanalysis5670 thanks. Just one question, do you think once you’ve practiced this it will start to come naturally into your match play? Or do you also need to consciously think about adjusting the height?

@@Dcp0001a It is more natural from the front with the feeling of pitching the ball to the back, the real answer is making your target more important than power and when you finally accept this you then increase power slowly and the height will become clearer depending on your court position. It is so difficult because it is different depending on how deep you are so continual drives into the service box and then aiming for the back line is a perfect exercise with the high amount of times you will have to hit from this position.

@@squashanalysis5670 got it, thanks again for all your insights

I have a new mic for pc audio but the on court videos are reliant on the wireless mic which will be less quality. My newer videos will have better sound. Try on another device many have found this gives an acceptable result.

It is one of the cornerstones I use in a match

Glad you enjoyed

Thanks, it is a big problem for some players, hopefully it will help them.

Thanks!

So do I , I could have been a better player.

Tring to create a personal connection so the message gets through quickly. It is a two way street I can not expect every effort from the player if I don't give every effort myself. Thanks for the feedback and the thumbs up.

I have more videos coming tat will expand on this and develop your skills, till then just keep practicing and it will get better.

I like the comparison. Thanks for the feedback.

It should be a point and a warning and follow the process of awarded game next time then match on the third occasion. If it can be picked up early without anyone getting hit then a warning without point loss should set the requirement and let the player know you are watching the swing.

Needs to be a rule. I see Asal, Yow and others straight arm so much and the other player literally has to duck underneath to not get hit or shutout, it's pathetic

Thanks!

You can straight line your wrist a little rather than hitting around our body and try and keep everything compact and strong

Thanks, It was a huge problem with juniors and I went through many experiments before I came up with this and it has such a quick impact and is so simple requiring no aids. It is one of those things that just works and the more you do it when you are at the development stage the quicker you will gain the flexibility and range of movement. Thanks for your feedback.

Sure I will add it to the list.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

It is better in feel, control, speed of prep and handling balls in different positions. I do not cut my videos and show all errors, I also do not practice this much so you see the ease and consistency is great. More important than me showing you more give it a go and let me know what you find. I think you will love it and never look back. It is a game changer.

You have full muscle control during the whole swing staying well within a controlled movement zone. Give it a go and build the muscles before giving everything you have and you will be surprised how awesome this is. 70% of all PSA drives are punch drives.

Hit like you are restricted but use full strong muscle control focusing all effort on the strike. You do not release muscles at all even on follow through.

@@squashanalysis5670 thank you. Really enjoy all your videos

There is more but I will save that for future videos. Thanks for the feedback.

It will change the way you attack short

Thanks 👍

I appreciate that, 40 years of coaching will do that

You rarely get to see a coaching lesson and with the audio as well you can appreciate the energy and effort required by the players as well as the coach. Coaching is often undervalued for the expertise and effort involved. Thanks for the feedback.

I am glad you agree, this is one of several drop shots we teach, I will add the other videos in the future.

No forehand is very different, I will do a video on it for you.

@@squashanalysis5670 thanks I felt this improved my game significantly, no one explains these basics better than you for those of us that cant afford private coaching really grateful

It takes a little training to change what you have always done. Deliberate practice will work wonders.

Yep, it is a bit of a hot topic at the moment.
