Yeah these holds don't work on everyone haha I just learned it several years ago and it's so fun though. Thanks for the comment!

Thank you for the comment and advice! Yeah, recently I've been trying to extend rallies instead of going for the finish. My shot selection is usually based on trying to keep my opponent back and making them do court sprints to put work on their legs until they give up. I'm still working on it because you're right that there are opportunities to just finish when I am in position but I chose to extend. My retrieval skills and movement aren't quite good enough to do this. And yeah I def need to work on racket prep - several other people commented on this too. Will work on it!

@@israelgefen2218 yeah for sure, thanks for the advice

@@swingeasyguy yeah for sure.. I was trying to extend rallies instead of finish

@@dmihovilovic thanks for the advice!

@@dmihovilovic Good question haha I started trying it out like 3 years ago and just did feeding drills to myself to experiment with timing and weight of shot… it’s really hard but I think it’s so fun when executed right

yeah their camera set-up is nice so its cool they record for all levels

bruh you played alex dartnell? isn't that guy like the us jr #1? LOL yeah there's levels to this game hahahaha

@@ChrispySquash yeah he’s on st Andrew’s. His team is loaded. They have like 3 6.0s and their lowest guy is a 5.5

@@logx-ow1us That’s insane haha I saw Alex play at Arlen a while back. He destroyed everyone haha

@@ChrispySquash lol I don’t even know how people beat him. I couldn’t get him off the T even if I lobbed

@@ewallt thanks for the comment and advice, yeah I’m lazy af haha thanks

@ You’re not lazy; it’s just a matter of habit. If you have your racket low, your opponent hits a shot, and you know you don’t have time to volley it, but if you have your racket ready, you can hunt the volley much more aggressively. You actually had a reaction shot where you quickly responded with a volley, and I thought “Wow! This guy has really quick reactions.” I think if you worked on keeping your racket ready, it would pay dividends for you.

@@ewallt I rewatched some of my videos and you are so right, I have a bad habit of keeping the racket so low… I’ll work on it haha will be hard to break habits but thanks again!

@@pierresoorden5975 badminton actually is a thing in college LOL there was a strong badminton in my college. I’m not sure how great marketing is, that’s really it

@@okedoke1234 there are different types of serves: lob serves, body shot serves, but most normal serves you just want high and close to the sidewall. Most of the time it’s not really offensive but more so just trying to make sure the opponent can’t destroy the shot immediately.

@@ChrispySquash Thanks! Any tips for a racquetballer transitioning to Squash?

@@okedoke1234 That’s a tough one… try to join some leagues or clubs to play different skill levels. The game and pace are very different… just be patient and feel it out. Squash is a great game.

Not really, which makes the game better in many people's opinion, because it encourages longer rallies.

Thank you! Yes, it was an awesome experience and really cool to see the difference.

haha I don't think they knew I was recording, they were nice guys

@@tt-nm4yj what a nice compliment! There’s def better instructional videos out there but I’m glad you enjoy them :)

@@Pthunderful haha I think at this level, we’re all a bit ugly- myself included. I actually hate my form LOL I was trying to extend the rallies to put some work in his legs but my retrieval skills aren’t good enough yet to do this effectively

@@ChrispySquash Looks like you finally adapted to his style: you hit harder and put more to the back. I think you should work on your drop volleys; they were like 5 miles over the tin! But good comeback. those players (like my age) are tricky to play against!

@ thanks… I’m a bit of a troll, but sometimes I actually intentionally make the balls higher to put work on my opponents.. it sounds stupid, but recently I’ve been trying to extend rallies. I get what you mean tho!

@@animeshka239 😂😂😂

@@uu-qq5mm WOW this is awesome, thanks for the advice. I’ll take all of this into consideration when playing. Funny you mentioned Mazen Hesham, he’s one of my favorite players! LOL

Definitely watch the ball. A lot of the shots that caught you were get-able with your movement and fitness but you were seeing it late.

@ thanks for the advice, I agree. I have a bad habit of doing this

When instead of how is a very interesting tip! Do you mean thinking about "when" in the sense that you're just generally thinking about if you can volley, 3/4th depth, take it off the glass, dig it out, and so on? Or do you mean the exact point in the court at which you think it's best to strike the ball? Or something else entirely?

They were actually very nice haha they complimented our play!

I want to correct it very badly

LOL what’s wrong with it? 😭 I’ll take any advice!

​@@ChrispySquash First step: you need to start to turn more. Imagine your swing can only begin on your backhand where your hand is in front of your belly button. From there you can turn to get power. Do not draw you hand back. I repeat do not!

@@yelow989898thanks for the advice!

@@ChrispySquash I am top 23 in Sweden right now. But I started off terrible when i was 15 years old. But I grinded and worked diligently on my technique and now I am soaring through the ranks. Mindlessly just playing matches will be tough at your age. You need to work on the technical aspect of the game if you want to become really good.

Haha it was super fun. I have no idea but at least 6 foot, big guy!

🫡🫡🫡 working on it! Thanks for the tip!

@@CediePc Yeah I think I have a bad habit of doing this! Good observation.

@@swingeasyguy Nice! Do you play any tournaments in the northeast (Philly/nyc)? Yeah I’ve never played a match with a person this level so it was a great experience, he moved better than I expected!

@@ChrispySquash I play up in Toronto. Was going to play in the masters in Philly, but going down to Florida to golf. Want to get down to the Spectre Centre sometime, looks awesome! A guy at my club is that level, he just toys with me! (and I'm over twice his age). but we always try and improve, makes this sport amazing. cheers David

@@swingeasyguy Specter is a great facility. You should play in the Skills Tournament there. They have it every year in Philly. Thanks for the comment!

@@petereedy6092 it’s okay, they might not have been aware I was filming. I probably should’ve told them haha they were nice guys

@petereedy6092 there's seats there for a reason lol. They probably didn't know he was recording not that it matters you can still see the match fine

Recording or not they were being so noisy when you were playing. it seems to be the American spectator culture just seems weird.

@@ChrispySquash my comment wasn't about the filming, it was about them talking noisily and not watching the match - and not allowing other spectators to enjoy the match They should have gone to the club bar instead

@@kiwikiwi223 my comment wasn't about the filming, it was about them talking noisily and not watching the match - and not allowing other spectators to enjoy the match They should have gone to the club bar instead

@@kiwikiwi223 yes he was very tall and I am very short! Thanks for the advice!

@@petercipriano5659 got any advice? What did you notice

@ I don’t know if you were purposely doing it, but you almost never hit crosscourts from your backhand side. You become too predictable when you don’t mix up your angles and always play straight. If I were playing you, I would just look to jump on the volley and cut the ball off quickly to take time away from you. If you’re going to play as straight as you do, at least vary the pace and the height/depth of your shots. You could attack more with hard and low stuff while still not taking a lot of risk.

@@ChrispySquashI think you also need to work on your racquet preparation and your grip/technique a little bit. You could be a lot more deceptive and hit better quality shots with earlier racquet prep and a cocked wrist. You’re a good player and can definitely improve a lot more.

@@petercipriano5659wow thanks for the advice! I’ll definitely try to work on varying the pace and length more. Didn’t know I was this predictable. I’ll keep that in mind for future matches. Thanks again!

@@zizazizi yeah normal two dot

@@Orbituation interesting advice, thanks! I appreciate the feedback and will look out for that in future matches 💪

Thanks so much!

haha you are optimistic but thanks kenyan kush!

Stroke, but your racquet prep in general is really lazy. If your racquet was up earlier, it would be an easier stroke call.

I am just lazy all around haha thanks for the comment!

Stroke. But gotta get that racquet up earlier like the other guy said

@@kenyankush don't make me taxi you next week

@@clizzaster @chrispySquash, respectfully, I disagree. really demonstrating strong racquet control here Chris!

That point at 16:34 really hurt him.

haha I hope so!

Good fight! You made him work hard in the second and third games.

thanks he’s definitely a different level than me, but it was so fun

@@ChrispySquash Other than the first game, I think the match was closer than you make it sound! There are some good rallies and many were decided by just mistakes (from both sides). You definitively have a chance at getting some game out of him!

Nice match! Where do you find tournaments to play? I’m in college and want to play tournaments

@@generalgrevious2712 Make a clublocker account with US Squash and you can register for events and open tournaments. They have a lot of different skill levels so it’s really fun. Only thing is that a lot of them depend on where you live- they have some good ones in NYC and Philly if you’re around there. It also can be a bit expensive- you’ll have to buy a US squash membership too (~$100) plus tournament fees.

goofy ahh shot 😂

This section in the tournament is 5.0 which means everyone in the draw is under 5.0 in club locker.

@@RisingSun0904 thx it works about 10% of the time, otherwise it goes to the floor or the ceiling 😁👍

@@ChrispySquash lmaoooo hey at least sometimes it's in HAHA

@@logx-ow1us interesting! He’s from Atlanta so if that’s where you’re from then probably! He’s really nice!

@@ChrispySquash yeah I’m from there. I haven’t seen him in a while though

Haha guessing is v fun!

@@worrylessactmorereadoftentimes haha well thanks for clicking/watching! Do you play squash?

haha my favorite shot! Thank you!

Thanks for the advice!

​@@ChrispySquash After six months it's not very useful advice :)

Yeah they hit very hard!
