I was planning on it, but I've had a couple of niggles recently, and the coaching load has been very high, so I decided to bow out unfortunately. Are you playing? - Ahad
Excellent video. I see that you hold your racket at the bottom of the grip. My *personal* feeling is that I get much better touch (i.e feeling fingers and strings) when holding it roughly in the middle. Do you hit all your shots with this grip, or do you move it up and down (lift from the back, etc..) ?
You are correct! You will generally get better feel holding the racquet in the middle, or even higher up! A lot depends on the weight and feel of the racquet. Personally I mostly hold it at the bottom, and occasionally shift it up (eg. When under pressure in the back corners). I also adjust the angle of the face, my wrist etc depending on circumstances as well :) I hope this helps! - Ahad
I use a double yellow dot ball. Sometimes with my beginner students I switch to a blue dot when teaching certain skills though. Depending on what you're learning etc, there's definitely a case for using a different ball 👊🏼 - Ahad
Nice hitting, Ahad! I hope Paul Coll is watching.
Haha, you're too kind. I don't think that he has much to worry about though 😂 all the best,

Awesome video! I'm gonna try taking a watered down version of some of these sequences to the squash court!
Love it! I'm looking forward to our session on Friday 👊🏼💪🏼

Yes in the 60+ I will try and imitate you on court! Looking forward to your next video. @@ARProformance

When you solo, are you playing double yellow or do you go down to a single yellow?
