Ask any coach where squash matches are won and lost, and you will hear the same answer: the back corners. Get the ball deep and tight and your opponent is stuck behind the service box, digging the ball out with no time to attack. Leave it short and loose, and you are the one under pressure. Length Battle is our…
Read moreUntil recently, the players in Court View were markers — useful, precise, and about as human as a chess piece. That changes now: Court View puts full 3D player characters on the court. They hold racquets, take real stances, face the ball, and moving on the correct side. A drill stops looking like a diagram and starts looking like squash. Ten characters, two of them yours Open the control panel and each player has a…
Every drill on SquashRT starts the same way: someone draws a shot. Tap a point on the front wall, tap a bounce, save. The catch is that a drawn line is only useful if the ball actually behaves that way — and squash balls are stubborn about physics. A drive that looks tight on a sketch might, in reality, clip the side wall early or die a metre short of the back corner. That is why both of our drawing boards — the…
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…
The serve and the return are the two most overlooked shots in club squash. Every rally starts with them, yet most players treat the serve as a formality and the return as an afterthought. Give these two shots the attention they deserve and you start a huge share of your rallies already in front. The serve: free position, if you use it The serve is the only shot in squash you play with no pressure and all the time in…
Two players with identical fitness and technique can have completely different results on court, and the reason is often invisible: one of them reads the game half a second earlier than the other. Anticipation — knowing where the ball is going before it is hit — is a skill you can build, and it is one of the cheapest ways to get faster without getting fitter. Anticipation is not guessing People often confuse…
Ask a strong squash player what separates them from the club standard, and many will point to one habit: they volley. Instead of letting the ball travel to the back and bounce, they cut it out of the air early. It is a small change in decision-making that transforms how much control you have over a rally. What volleying really buys you Every time you take the ball out of the air, you steal time from your opponent.…
