Practising alone, it's easy to just repeat one drill and call it a day. But real improvement comes from stringing drills together into a flow — warm up with some deep length, open up the court with crosses, finish with a drop. Planning that flow ahead of time is what a routine is for. The catch is that "building a…
더 읽기The whole point of repeating a drill is to burn the feel of a good shot into your body. But when you practise alone, the hardest part is knowing whether the shot you just hit was actually good. On court, a coach fills that gap in real time — "deeper", "back to the T", "that one should have been a lob". Online, that voice was missing. With this update, every drill on SquashRT now has a real-time judgment system. A…
Power gets all the attention, but most squash points are decided within three metres of the front wall — by a drop that just clears the tin, or a lob that floats out of trouble. Front-Court Touch is the routine that builds those soft hands: straight drops into the front corners, defensive lobs out of them, and the deep drives that set both up. Before you take this routine onto a real court, play the drills online…
Every squash rally is a chain of the same three actions: read the incoming ball, move to it early, and recover to the T before the next one. Shots win points, but movement decides whether you ever get to play them. Receive & Move is the routine that trains exactly that chain — boast returns that pull you sprinting to the front, back-corner digs that trap you deep, and a four-corner rotation that mixes them all…
Before the boasts, the volleys and the drops, there is one skill that decides more squash rallies than any other: a good, deep, straight length. Hit the ball tight to the side wall so it dies in the back corner and your opponent is pinned behind the service box with nothing to attack. Everything else in the game is built on top of that. Foundation Drives is exactly what the name says — the routine that grooves your…
If you walk into any squash club in the world and watch two players warm up, sooner or later you will see it: one player boasts the ball off the side wall to the front, the other sprints in and drives it back to a length, and around it goes. The Boast–Drive is the most famous pairs routine in the sport — around half a century old and still the first thing every coach teaches — because it trains the two skills a…
The fastest way to take control of a squash rally is to stop giving your opponent time — and nothing does that like the volley. Instead of letting the ball travel to the back and playing it off the bounce, you step in and cut it off in the air. The rally speeds up, your opponent is rushed, and you are the one dictating. Volley Rhythm is our routine for building that skill: six drills that groove early, compact…
