Practising alone has always had the same problem: you know a good drill when you see one, but keeping a collection of them — organised, in an order that makes sense, ready to run — is awkward. You end up with patterns scattered in your head, a few screenshots, and no real plan. So we built the piece that ties it all together: routines, and the ability to copy any shared drill straight into your own.Drills and routines, brieflyA drill in SquashRT is a single shot pattern — a straight-drive rail, a boast-and-drive, a four-corner receive. You can open any drill in 3D Court View, lay it out on the Tactics Board, or train it directly, moving to each ball and recovering to the T in rhythm.A routine is the next level up: a coach-style group of drills, kept in the order you want to run them. Instead of one pattern at a time, a routine is a session — warm up with length, move into movement patterns, finish with pressure drills — all in one place. It is the difference between knowing a few drills and having a training plan.The new part: copy any drill into your own routineThe community shares public drills, and until now you could open them, play them, and admire them — but you could not make them yours. That has changed. Every public drill now has an "Add to routine" button, and it does exactly what it says: it copies the drill into your own collection and drops it into a routine you choose.Because it is a copy, the drill is yours from that moment on. It sits in your My Drills list, it belongs to whichever routine you picked, and nothing you do to it affects the original. Found a great boast-drive pattern someone shared? Copy it, add it to your "Match Prep" routine, and it is waiting for you the next time you train.How it worksThe flow is deliberately quick, so building a plan takes seconds rather than a setup session:Browse the public drills. Open the drill list, use the search and sort to find patterns by name or description, and pick one that fits what you want to work on.Add it to a routine. Hit "Add to routine". A picker opens with your existing routines — choose one, create a new routine on the spot, or save the drill on its own without a routine.Build the session. Repeat with a few more drills until the routine reads like a real training plan: an order you would actually run on court.Train the whole thing. Open your routine and run its drills in sequence, or jump into any single one. From the routine page you can train every drill in order without hunting for each pattern.Why copying mattersCopying — rather than just linking — is the point. A routine is personal. You want to reorder it, keep the drills that suit your game, and know that a shared pattern will still be there and unchanged even if the person who first made it moves on. By copying the drill into your own library, your routine becomes a stable plan you own, not a set of links that can shift under you.It also means you can take a public drill as a starting point. Copy it, and it is yours to keep alongside your own saved patterns from Court View and the Tactics Board — the shared idea and your personal work living in the same collection.From scattered patterns to a planThe whole point of drilling is repetition with purpose, and purpose is much easier when your session has a shape. A routine gives your practice that shape: a warm-up block, a movement block, a pressure block, in an order you decided in advance. When you walk onto the court — or into a training session in the app — you are not deciding what to do next; you are running a plan.Browse the public drills, copy the ones that fit your game, and start building the routines that match how you want to train. The patterns you have been keeping in your head finally have a home.

SquashRT just shipped its biggest update yet. One question drove every decision: "What would real squash do?" We tore out the old pick-a-zone, press-a-button controls and rebuilt the whole shot — swing, reach, impact, and rebound — around how the real game works.

Every coach has drawn it. Cross court, straight drive, drop to the front. The problem was never the drawing — it's what comes after: you can't rally against a diagram. Without a partner willing to feed you the same ball a hundred times, the pattern stays in your head, and a pattern that lives only in your head never shows up at real rally speed. Closing that gap between drawing a play and actually hitting it — that's what we've been building Court View toward all along.When we first introduced Court View, it was a visualizer: one player on a court, a shot path to sketch. It's a different tool now, wearing the same name. Here's what's been added — and how it connects to real training.

If you've ever taken a squash lesson, you've probably watched a coach sketch the court on a whiteboard and slide magnets around while explaining a pattern. We've brought that whiteboard into SquashRT. Say hello to the Tactics Board.Why top-downThe 3D Court View shows you how the ball flies. A top-down view shows you how the players move. The spacing between two players, who owns the T, where a recovery path goes wrong after a shot — things that slip past you from the side become obvious from above. It's the reason coaches reach for a whiteboard when they talk positional play, and it's the reason the Tactics Board looks down on the court.You can also switch on the same power donut and shot ring the game itself uses, so a conversation like "from this position, that ball is out of your reach" happens right on the diagram.You draw drills with your fingerBuilding one is simple. Drag a player into position, then tap the walls and floor in order — the ball's path draws itself, and the second floor bounce completes the shot. Save it and it stacks up as S1, S2, … in the sequence bar at the bottom; one press of play runs the whole rally back to back. Rally-ending shots (a miss, a fault) get a red chip so you never lose the thread.Trajectory styles (solid, dashed, neon), touch markers, player name tags — show what you need, hide the rest.It moves freely between here and Court ViewThe Tactics Board and the 3D Court View share the same data. Which makes this workflow possible: sketch a drill with your finger on the Tactics Board minutes before a lesson, then open it in Court View later and polish the trajectories in 3D. It works the other way too — take a drill you built in Court View and reopen it top-down to study the positioning. Where you made it doesn't matter.Replay it all from My PageTurn on Save replay during a match or training session and the day's rallies are stored as sequences. Drills you build and save in Court View or on the Tactics Board land in the same place: the My Tactic Board list on your My Page.From there you've got three moves. Training — the saved rally becomes a coach drill you play against yourself. Open in Court View — watch it back in 3D. Open in Tactics Board — look down and study it. Rewatching the final rally of yesterday's losing match from above teaches you more than you'd expect.Draw on it, save it, send itArrows and notes with Annotate, a finished board exported as an image, sequence playback recorded as a video — everything you need to drop a drill into the team chat is built in. Make lesson material, or share "this is what we're drilling tomorrow" as a single picture.The Tactics Board is live here. First time? Drag a player somewhere, then tap any wall — the moment your first shot draws itself, you'll get it.
