Skills for squash - Advanced movement timing

If you can move to include your last step with your swing rather than putting it with your movement you will have a balanced engaged body just prior to strike allowing you to focus energy on the hit and also helping you to clear early.
This skill is part of what makes good players look so capable and part of the reason they have so many options and abundant power, it takes a little practice and you will not be able to do it on every shot but you should use this method whenever possible.

Quality movement makes all the difference, glad you liked it. Thanks for the positive comment.

@@squashanalysis5670 I was lucky to have solid pro at my old club who stressed footwork and it is hard to find good videos on this topic. My coach called it a “skip” instead of a shuffle, and he called it a “J" movement to the ball instead of a direct approach, when there is time. Your tip on the quick shuffling and holding is a new concept for me. I can’t wait to try it. Great stuff, there is a lot packed in there…. and thank you!

Can we call this movement pattern: shuffle/wait/step ?

[@squashanalysis5670]

I like the way you think, it is important to put the last step with your it and not the movement.

@@squashanalysis5670 you mean I put the last step with my swing?
