I think wide stance already prime you for a split step since a narrow stance would consume more time to open up the stance. With a wide stance, you simply need to hop upwards instead of sideways and upwards.
That is a great way to put it!! Fully agree. Thanks for the comment 👍👍
Top notch video 🔥
Thank you!
The different paced figure 8s are insanely difficult
Very true!! But a great drill to learn how to mix up the pace 😁
Looks like you’re not too bad at it. The trick seems to be keeping it over the service line.
A question, wouldn't the narrow stance be more effective in situations where you have to defend or attack, because it makes you quicker to respond due to a faster split step. Wouldn't the wider stance be more advantageous where the rallies are still being contested with stable length hitting? I am unsure of the following, but doesn't the french school of movement advocate for a wider stance compared to the narrower stance, so could it be just different schools of thought and that both have their place?
Great thought! Thanks for sharing! I definitely agree and think that with the narrow stance you have a quicker and more explosive quick step. However you are probably more off balance. The wide stance allows for great balance and strong positions to play your shots from. I guess it’s seeing what works or using the correct one for each situation.
Very good info!!
Isn’t it harder to initiate split step from a stance that wide? I’ve changed my stance to be narrower and it seems to be helpful for my split step.
A lot of top coaches teach a high narrow stance prior to split stepping so I think it’s personal preference.
Yea indeed. But often players go into the wide step after the split step. It is harder to initiate the split step from the wife stance that’s completely true. However it is definitely easier to stay more balanced and stronger in the lunge position
I think the point not mentioned in the video is that the split step mechanics will look different in that it will be a little hop and landing on the opposite foot rather than a hop and "spreading/splitting" the feet apart. You can watch how Gregory Gaultier is on the t just before his split step and how his split step looks like to explain what I mean..
Short,sweet and effective.Love it.Just for the record i played today remembering your last tip about getting the elbow back on the backhand.won 3-0 and opponent was saying how impressive my backhand was!That has NEVER happened before!!!Thanks again.
Good stuff! That is awesome to hear!😁💪💯
Super cool!! Definitely going to try
Good luck!!
You forgot a really important one,watching the ball at all times,I watch loads of amateurs watching the front wall after a shot :)
True that. Watching and anticipation is massive
Actually the best tip so far about the backhand, more whip and accuracy 👌
Thanks mate 👍
Any tips for forehand tight drives? Mine are so loose
Yeah forehand is always a bit tricky. Big one that helps for me here is shortening the swing. Less can go wrong with the shorter swing. I will make a video on this soon 👍
I hate lefties.. 😢😢😢
Nice video again, thanks! I’ve been trying to improve my backhand for what seems like a couple of years LOL so all these tips help. I have a question, not really related to the core topic of the video. But when you have something like this, with the 2 key points you talked about in the swing here, when you go out on court are you consciously keeping those 2 thoughts in mind all the time? Or are you hoping to rely on muscle memory so that you don’t need to think about it? Because my challenge is I will watch a video like this, go and do some practice of it, but then typically at some point it will slip out of mind, and I will fall back into old bad habits, especially playing a match. Part of the reason I think is because of all the other things you need to think about in squash!
Wow thank you so much for that awesome comment! I love that you mentioned this because it’s something I struggle with as well. You cannot rely on muscle memory unfortunately. It going to take a while where you have to consciously think about these things before they become muscle memory. That’s also the only way to get better. The best advice I can give here from personal experience is that you should try to only focus on one or two things. And once you have mastered them and do them automatically move to the next. Classic move is trying to work on everything at once but this makes it so much harder for things to sit haha. Hope that helps.
@@SquashForce Thanks for the response! I'm kinda glad to hear I'm not the only one that struggles with remembering to do these kind of things in squash haha. And yeah it makes sense to only focus on one or two things, so I will be keeping that in mind from now on!
Brill
Thanks!😁
Why did you practice finishing with closed stance? In your other videos you seem to prefer open stance or at least it looks more natural for you.
It’s actually a habit im still trying to change. Well spotted! I feel more balance when im using a wider stance then when im not. So that’s a good reminder haha
Thanks. Great video for me now. Im currently fixing my backhand drives. For me there are so many things to learn, moving in, foot work, grip, prep. And your wind up drop n release. Follow through. Move out. Im on after my 3rd coaching session in that corner, 1st was so frustrating, 3rd I'm starting to see some progress.
That is awesome to hear. Nothing better than seeing some improvements! I’ve made some videos on foot work, grip and prep incase you want to check those out 👍
Very good lesson, congratulations for your effort and dedicatión. From México
Thank you very much!! 😁
Very helpful tip, but what about the proper rotation timing? Should it be right before the lunge?
Yes you kind of need to combine the rotation with the lunge timing wise
Awesome video keep it up!
Thanks! Will do!
Love these videos.Straight to the point.im 53 years old,dodgy knees and back but your tips have improved my game for sure.Keep em coming!
Great to hear! Appreciate the feedback
Greart perspective..🎉
Thank you 🙌
Great video. Confusing point though. 00:35 "keeping your torso still" 00:54 "making sure we're rotating our torso"
Yeah my bad. What I had meant to say is to rotate the torso and keep the lower body still 😅
The content starts at 1:18
Great video, thanks! I agree I think racquet preparation is so important. It's usually the first thing I notice if I see amateur players compared to watching the PSA players, in that the amateur racquet preparation is so often missing compared to the pro's.
Well said! They tend to take longer to prepare to hit the shot. Which means they are under pressure and can’t hit quality shots.
Top tips…Thanks for this, I possible for you to show second spin follow through from behind please
Awesome video I really liked the pro examples in the video!
Glad to hear it!
Great tutorial and nice t-shirt!
Thank you!
You need to redo the sound from 5:45
A very important aspect of the split step is your heel doesn't touch the ground. ie your foot is "locked" if that makes sense.
Absolutely does 👍
Awesome video! Keep up the good work 🔥🔥
Thanks! Will do!
amazing guide!!!
Thank you!
Amazing video! Really a great recap video that has everything about the swing! Been looking for something like this for a while, well done
Thanks for the feedback!
Great video. Btw which shoes are you wearing? Are volleyball shoes good for squash as well?
Thank you! These are the Adidas crazyflight. I think some volleyball shoes work for squash as well. The big factor with those will probably just be to make sure that they have enough grip on the court.
I'm lost. Is this an April fools video?
This is Awesome 👌
Thanks James! 💪
Great video! Both tips really helped with accuracy, especially the first one.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Maybe explain in more detail which direction (other than through the ball) the racquet face is traveling when you hit these two shots, and also having a camera behind the court so we can see the result of the spin(s).
So, with the first spin on the backhand side, you're sort of pushing the racket into the wall a bit?
Yes basically. On the backhand side wrapping the racket around the left side of the ball and following through upwards.
Hi, I have the exact same racquet. What strings and tension do you use?
I don’t use it anymore. But I think I was using ashaway supernick strings and the tension was 11kg :)
@@SquashForceSame as Diego Elias! What racquet do you use now?
Awesome video getting better with every video!
Glad you think so!
never heard these tips before, excellent! These are the small things that separate the noobs from the pros :)
Yes small things like these haha
Jonathan Power talks about the inside spin in his videos. Haven't heard of the outside spin from any pros.
what is controversial about it haha he's literally pushing his racquet arm
Good video - but one item was not explained. Are you waiting to initiate the split step until you see where the opponent you have hit the ball, or guessing based on their shape?
Most people say you should initiate the split step on the opponents downward swing. However in my opponent waiting a tad longer can make a massive impact in reading the ball and taking the best line. I would suggest seeing what works for you but definitely try waiting a bit longer and see how it goes.
General rule of thumb is to apply the split step at the moment the opponent hits the ball. Don't try it in a match. Practise it only once you've warmed up properly to avoid hurting your achilles tendon.
@@terryjonson8060 I assume I need to know if they are boasting, dropping or going straight so that the step after the split is in the correct direction?
Great tip, thank you for sharing it !
Glad it was helpful!
This is super useful. Thanks. 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome content for sure helps my squash
Glad to hear it!
Great video,😇, but isn’t this just half the story?🤔. Doing a split step is one thing, timing it correctly is the other⏰. Are you planning to show how to time it? Eg, just before or exactly at the point of contact as your opponent strikes the ball. Also, seems to me that a great split step requires great watching😎, something that most of us don’t do well.
Yes you are actually 1000% correct!! The split step alone is already helpful. But to master it you HAVE to be able to time it correctly with the swing of your opponent, watching the ball extremely well and anticipating how the bounce will look. I think doing a part two where I go more into the timing would be a great idea! Thanks for the feedback! :)
Is the small hop on one leg?
What happens is it’s a small hop with both legs, (very small and subtle) and then one leg lands slightly earlier to excel you in a certain direction. Usually if you go to the left you will use the right leg and vice Versa.
@@SquashForce thanks SquashForce you make the best videos, can i suggest another idea for next video?
Great delivery 👌
Thank you!!
Many thanks ,I am a taller guy even and I feel my height is giving me disadvantage as I always start my initial movement off balance...just wanted to ask you that there's another aspect of split stepping which is stepping into the t on one foot dragging the back foot and hopping on that front foot...I think this is more fluid if under high pressure
Yes I understanding and mastering the split step is no simple task. Just practicing it in games and combining it with watching the ball
