This is great! I am one of those who hit it probably with the face too open to create deception, but will start trying your advice of hitting flat and with speed. Do you have an email to reach out to you with questions about training opportunities? I like your feedback to the players in the other videos a lot. The "About" in this channel does not have contact information.
Thanks for this great video. It ties perfectly with your video on the shot selection in the backhand 3-quarter area. In the demonstration you take the ball when it is above tin height, so a relatively flat racquet face is fine. Is it advisable to play this boast when the ball is low, i.e below tin height and then use a more open face and play a softer boast. Another question. Consider the following situation. Opponent plays a loose forehand drive and is hanging back. You play the 2 wall boast, recover to the T. Now since the opponent was hanging back his line to the ball goes through your T position. Do you have to take a off center position to allow your opponent direct access to the ball or you can hold your T position and the opponent is required to go around you?
Good question, hard to answer as every situation is unique and could have different answers due to circumstances. It sounds like the player hanging back has no chance getting to the ball due to hanging back, therefore taking the wrong line if she/he wants to get through. This is a personal opinion, not sure what an official referee would say! Thanks for the question and support!
Hi thanks for the Content, it’s really helpful. Can you do a video on back wall corner boast which ends up in opposite front corner. I know not an ideal situation shot but sometimes can be used to get out of trouble. Personally I fail to get it above tin most of the time, any tips/video would be appreciated.
Hi, I noticed that you emphasise in many videos a shuffle step behind the service box, what if the ball is deep into the back corner wouldn't be better to split into a "run" (say 2 consecutive steps) to the back corner? Thanks
Hi Ahmed, thanks for your comment. I'm not a big fan of doing a 'run' towards the back corner, obviously sometimes there might be moments where I have to, but most of the time I would like to keep control and relaxedness in my footwork. The shuffle works well for me. If the 'run' works well for you, use that! I'm not here to tell you how you should do it, I'm just sharing how I do it :-)
Good question, I guess this is all a bit on your perception but also the ability to have an overview of what is happening on court. Most of the time during a match you will have moments where you hit certain shots (a cross court for example) where you feel your opponent did not see this coming at all. This would indicate your opponent is not observing the game properly. Also when you hit a drives you could check what your opponent is watching simply by checking the direction he is watching. If this is to much to handle because you need to focus on your own shot you could ask a team player! Hope this helps 🙂
All the content you do is excellent. Really improved my understanding of what I should be doing.
Thanks Thomas for your comment, thats awesome!

@@squashoriginals2392 Thanks for your reply. when I play with anyone without a referee, I just give a let. No debating stroke/let/no let😀
@@suhailtandel4937 best option if both agree!

I think I have made one recently about this matter, hope it is helpful!

When you are chasing and retrieving a drive how do you have time to check and see if your opponent on the T is watching you closely?

@@squashoriginals2392 Thank you. That makes sense. My coach once said, “Keep your eye on the ball, and your mind on your opponent.”
What kind of ball machine are you using?
Squashcannon, Canadian brand!
@@squashoriginals2392 I'm interested in buying one
Do you have any idea how much it costs?
