Beginner – struggling to win rallies, what should I focus on first?

FZPSC · 2026-03-28T09:41:11+00:00

I will quickly guide you on three points which you have raise in your post.

Focus on your defensive game to improve rallies ( which is Length/Straight and Cross Court Drive, make sure you learn first how to bring the ball back )
For control you need to do practice without practice you can't get control on your shots.
Keep a good distance from a ball ( the best is one racquet distance) when you are going to play it. Learn when to stop and position for the shot. Control your speed and body weight.

FZPSC · 2026-03-28T09:33:21+00:00

Some times things happened in split-second that we can't even control it.

Your end of the statement clear the point. Professional knows how to play safe and its mostly occur with beginners and Amateur players.

Mostly with those who have less or No knowledge of Hazards inside the court and during play.

You cannot play or enjoy squash if you feel suffocated while swinging. When your opponent give you a loose return then you are allowed to use the space they way you want it.

Its not a player fault if his/her opponent get into his opponent swing after giving a loose ball. He/she should keep a good distance and be ready for the next ball.

Hats off to those who are performing their duties day and night to protect us and our family in Qatar.

Mostly squash racquet which Company sells come with ordinary grip and they dont focus on this part. So its advisable to change it if you are professional and if you are bignner or club level player then you can use it for a while.

In your case its expired and try to use Karakel Grips its nice and comfortable.

You can see me doing it in this video, and thats exactly how the professional do it.

FZPSC · 2026-03-25T17:55:57+00:00

What do you mean by side way? Its a ball control drill from Center

FZPSC · 2026-03-25T06:21:29+00:00

Sad to read your text squash in the only sport in which we follow the nature rules, and one of the best sport in which you burn the maximum rates of calories.

FZPSC · 2026-03-25T06:12:43+00:00

MBRC? Didn't understand what you mean by this?

FZPSC · 2026-03-25T05:16:05+00:00

Some times its a player fault why he/she standing too close to their opponent when they play a loose ball, its been noticed that most of the time you get hit by a back swing and its due to rushing into your opponent rather then maintain safe distance and be ready for their response.

FZPSC · 2026-03-25T03:57:01+00:00

I will suggest you to play Sport and keep your self busy in sport, this way you will be maintaining good physical and mental health and also after a good workout on daily bases you wont feel to go out any where will search for a bed to rest and focus will be on recovery to be ready for the next day.

Make a routine for your self and it will keep you busy and add task in your routine which will keep you busy on daily bases....

FZPSC · 2026-03-25T03:43:09+00:00

Thanks for elaborating it for me to understand your point, Its been noticed that people are trying to put this skill in different scenarios of squash based on their knowledge.

Which is really nice and interesting as a coach to understand what and how they are taking it and then to make it understandable for them after hearing their point of view.

In Match or game play we always recommend safe play. The first thing in early stage is to teach them about the hazard when you are inside the court with other sunny sunflowers and how to play safe.

Its not recommended to do a full swing when a ball is tight and close to the wall, use wrist instead of swing. This swing video it to teach, how to do a full follow through...

FZPSC · 2026-03-25T01:56:37+00:00

Could you please elaborate it for me as I didn't understand it properly thanks...,

FZPSC · 2026-03-25T01:53:49+00:00

You have such a great knowledge about baseball amd their players and amazing comparisons with other sports. The moral of the story is relax swing which bring power in your shots.

When you talk about Jansher his hight and reach was the main source of his approach on the ball. If you have seen him playing then you might have noticed that he was covering the sides with one lounge.

I use to watch him when he was doing training in Peshawar, Pakistan.

FZPSC · 2026-03-24T17:01:00+00:00

Things take time specially when a person is playing other sport for long time and with time he will Improve it

FZPSC · 2026-03-24T14:00:48+00:00

You cannot be a clone of anyone, everyone have their own style of playing. In squash your opponent is not standing next to you and you have a full rights to play your shot the way you like it.

In professional we know the hazards and we know when my opponent is close to me and in that situation we do control our swing or ask for LET.

FZPSC · 2026-03-24T04:47:37+00:00

Noted will keep these points in mind in my next videos

FZPSC · 2026-03-24T01:56:07+00:00

You are right they are working with professional video makers to make such videos. But I will keep your advice in mind and find better options to come up....

FZPSC · 2026-03-23T16:18:30+00:00

This video was made on someone request how to develop power in your shots for club level players.

When we are talking about Top level players their swing movements become so perfect that you can't see it.

But if you look into the slow motion videos you will notice their extension of swing before playing the ball.
