- It is a very common problem with players hitting in front of their front leg causing them to lose power and control, by simply allowing the ball to come into your POWER ZONE your big body muscles do most of the work rather than your arm resulting in greater power and control.

When I hit the backhand, I have a problem with my wrist loosening and losing strength. I realized that I wasn't positioning my body correctly when I hit the backhand. I knew I was close to the ball, but when I hit the backhand, I'm scared of missing the ball. I need to practice finding the power zone of my backhand. Thank you for the video.
Players that break their wrist when they hit tend to think your arm hits the ball but if you can change to believe your body core muscles hit the ball and your arm stays strong and allows connection then you will not loo for the flic power from our wrist. This only works if you let the ball come into your POWER ZONE.
So the power zone is generally any spot between the hips or is better between the front foot and belly button? Should this be the same for forehand as well?
You are correct that if you can let it come between your hips but there is also an optimum position to hit without too much wrist turn to compensate, as long as you don't hit too far in front of your body. The forehand is different and I have a video coming on that.
Quick question, do u turn your body whilst hitting the ball together as one unit with your shoulders?
Hips are more important then shoulders and they activate first prior to your arm forward swing and continue to the finish of the follow through moving slower than your arm.
at 3:30, it looks a lot like golf
Most good squash players are reasonable golfers with minimal practice the body moves in the right general directions but the consistency is not there till they play more often.
