- Опубликовано: 22 янв 2025
- The 45 degree stance allows you to watch your opponent and makes you very strong in the direction of the straight drive and a boast.
Covering a cross court is slightly more difficult but easily covered with good movement techniques.
Here is a closer look at the movement for each side.
Great video been waiting years for a video like this one. Thank u.
Move well play well, glad you liked it
Thank you, Gary! You have a gift for simplifying complex squash subjects into actionable steps. Many squash videos on movements are a bit abstract. This video sheds light on specific movements and the logic behind them, which should remove the uncertainty and thinking in anticipating cross courts. Please do more of these movement videos. Thank you.
Movement is one of my strengths. You can probably tell I do not use scripts or prompts and no editing so you can see the mistakes, just hit the record button and this is my experience from coaching and playing. Thanks for the kind words.
Excellent video. My first comment..love your teaching. Thank you..
Thanks so much, it means a lot that players take the time to like an comment, it makes it worthwhile.
Incredibly useful video!! Thank you so much!! This is coming from someone whose tendency is to stand at a 45 degree angle and has been told that's incorrect and to stand toes forward facing the front wall.
If the most common shot is a deep drive from the back it makes sense that you stand to make movement in that direction as easy as possible as long as it does not affect other areas greatly. Most attacking play comes from taking advantage of a poor shot and setting yourself up to attack in the most likely direction of hit turns just OK shots into possible opportunities if you get there early.
Awesome Gary; I've actually just started working on these ghosting patters this week with 5 dots representing 5 usual landing spots for balls down each side, and walking the movements, as my movements have been very unsmooth.
When you get the rhythm and timing of the movements all will be comfortable and super energy efficient. You can mix it up with dots in different areas as you have and remember to train mostly at the back backhand where most of the play is and where it is most difficult to get power requiring greater body prep.
@@squashanalysis5670 Thanks!
Agreed. I used to be pulled apart my a players with a good boast, 45 degrees stopped that!
It is so good when players elaborate on my videos, thanks for your insight.
