Great video PSA YT channel... people don't appreciate the good you do to promote our sport... and they wouldn't appreciate it until you stopped doing it!!
+Maruo Eiichirou yeah, I watched it again on 0.25. Still pretty sure that it bounces off the back wall only, about 10" off the ground, which gives gaultier plenty of space to get a racket to it and hit the boast.
+PSA SQUASHTV I appreciate the reply but I think I'll wait until you run another promo on the annual subscription. Even with this code it works out far more expensive than the annual membership. Thanks anyway, guys.
I've never given a video a thumbs down on the channel before, but I think this deserves it for being very disappointing, this is video fails as a showcase.
I understand your rationale and it's the upcoming tournament, but it doesn't change the fact that you made a poor choice in that it was one of the LEAST compelling games played, so it's bad marketing and counter productive if your aim is to hype the tournament and the game of squash. I love both Shabana and Gaultier, but this game was not worth retrieving from the archive, I think there were a good deal many better games in last year's NetSuite tournament that you would've been much better off picking.
Agreed w/ Seb John. Definitely didn't need to pick a game from the final! Sometimes the semis or quarters are better. Sometimes the game of the tournament is between two low seeds. We come for squash, not celebrities!

you can feel the respect between these players, you know they're not going to try any overly sneaky shots while still going for the power kills.
Epic double bounce at 8:12
+BarraNZ I think you might be seeing the bounce off the back wall?
hmm. I'll have another look, then.

+Maruo Eiichirou also: I was at this match (I live in san francisco). I think I remember seeing this good.
Thinking of subscribing to PSA Squash TV, any promotions you can offer?
+Craig Banyard You can use promo code 33SQUASHTV to get 33% off a monthly subscription for 6 months :)
+PSA SQUASHTV I appreciate the reply but I think I'll wait until you run another promo on the annual subscription. Even with this code it works out far more expensive than the annual membership. Thanks anyway, guys.
+Craig Banyard I am thinking of subscribing as well, would love a promo on the annual subscription too.
poor choice for FGF?
really not the best FGF you can offer
I actually kind of like seeing some average games like this. Reminds us that even legends like Shabana are human.
Can someone explain to me why this isn't considered a good game? I can't really work it out from the comments and i'm fairly new to squash.
+Hunter dngngksn Just watch the one posted last week and you will know!
+Hunter dngngksn It wasn't close, there were a lot of unforced errors and the rallies weren't very good.

+Seb John We wanted a game from last years NetSuite Open final as that tournament starts today on SquashTV. This was the closest game from that final

+Seb John The whole game I was expecting something interesting to happen, but nope. Very strange choice of game to feature.
Love psa squash and squash tv but this was not a good choice for fgf.
poor choice for fgf, Shabana underperforming
Not a very good FGF
Such a poor game. What is Shabana doing ? Seemed like there was no rhythm or motivation
obviously a poor choice for FGF no contest at all
What a terrible game to highlight.
