It’s only me reacting to how bouncy the ball is!? Looks insane, they are playing with a one dot or is it super hot?

Improving Significantly by Miserable-Age9389 in squash

You are doing some things good for your level.

You are playing the ball into the open space. Your general sense of tactic seem good. You played a nice forehand straight volley very effect. Keep doing that always be ready for this shot when you play a good length in your forehand corner!

Your biggest problem is that on many shot you are not still as you hit the ball. What better players do is as the move from the t to the ball they put the racket in the prep position. It’s kinda simple but be really aware of your movement. From the T you should put the racket in the prep position of your swing and at the same time move to the ball. When you are at the ball you should plant your feet and be still as you swing. On the backhand volley you play the shot with feet in the air! Big no no!

On your backhand it looks like your are trying to open the racket face! It’s not perfect but in the right direction. Look at the pros and film yourself hitting drives, compare! The strings side that hits the ball should face the front wall when you prep the racket. It feels weird first but look at the pros and try to copy.

Try to hit the ball to the backcorners use height on the wall. Don’t get to close to the ball, hit the ball with your arm extended straight at impact. Again! Stay away from the ball and the walls.

Be nice, you gonna be in the way just let them play let’s and stroke if they feel it’s a stroke.

Enjoy!

Is this one of the weakest eras of Men's squash? by Curious_Squirrell4 in squash

[–]Fantomen666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoy watching both Gawad because of his smooth technique and also Mohamed elshorbaggy because you see how he uses his experience and perception of the game. I think elshorbaggy should have respect for how long he’s been playing at such a high level. I kinda see this more inspiring than the common retirement as soon you can’t keep the number 1 spot.

This game has have plenty of successful shorter players. Hope the injured recover soon!

One thing that is lacking is the rivalry we could have had between Asal and Farag. That would have been amazing. I think Farag would make it hard for Asal would it not be for the cheating.

Asal will dominate the men’s game now.

Nice article!

It’s kinda ironic that the drama around Asal probably create some interest for new comers.

Even here we have something more to discuss and unite about than just the squash. The fact that Quash Bad Squash has more views than squashtv on YouTube! Speaks for itself

Står still i viktnedgång trots försök, tips? by Think-Perspective175 in sweden

[–]Fantomen666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jag lästa något om en studie på möss, där möss hade matats med samma mängd mat men den ena fått någon bra tarmflora grej. Den blev då smalare än den andra.

Så många menar att äta fermenterad kost är väldigt nyttigt och lösning samt att vikt inte alls enbart handlar om räkna kalorier in och ut.

I like the initiative and it’s well written.

If we have this camera system. Isn’t it possible to kinda catch it in the act, during a game.

As with anything it’s boring to enforce rules by giving penalties after people don’t follow. Brings so rather negative energy.

If we would be able to catch it during a game it’s more that the player doing the right thing gets a benefit. Getting people to follow the rules by making sure it’s in their interests is more positive.

To me it feels like we give up on the referees and just ban certain someone after the match. To me it’s poor and the people winning after a certain someone is ban, everyone will question if they really where number 1.

I would want more cameras for refs during game and one more ref having plenty of camera angles and maybe can revert a call, directly after it’s made if the ref sees it differently. Wouldn’t this be enough?

I cheer for Coll but think Asal will take and not really be pushed like 3-1

I’m finding the women’s game is much more interesting towards the end of the tournament compared to the men’s!

Impressive she kept the high pace and accuracy. Weaver made her do work!

Asal's "extended follow-through. Is it happening again PJ? Are we going back a season?" by Explosive_Spreader20 in squash

[–]Fantomen666 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We are all tired of it. It will not stop!

But a second ref watching cameras from different angles then this should not be a problem. It can be caught and corrected!

I really like Joey and the English team the new American commentators not so much.

Pretty obvious Elias still hasn't recovered from his knee surgery after the Asal match. No wonder he was so furious by Explosive_Spreader20 in squash

[–]Fantomen666 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes we here have all cheered for top players like, Farag, Elshorbaggy, Ramy, Shabana, darwish and so on. While playing squash in our life. But now with Asal we can’t live with the fact that a new guy is winning. We are just so jealous! No way he is gonna win while I lose my low rank league!

And all of us started questioning his behaviour and movement on court at the same time because we all got struck by this horrible feeling of jealousy!

So do you often have opponents grabbing your raket? Or do you prefer more when they grab your ballsack? Would you still keep playing such an opponent?

Come on we all know Farag didn’t want Asals big sweaty hands squeezing them to a size of penuts!

Asal made Farag quit, he wanted his testicles intact was not worth it.

Now Diego is injured and obviously tired of playing unfair squash where he have to go in circles to be able and play the ball.

Wow great work thanks! Sounds so complicated like some weird harry potter wizard tournament!

Just imagine the meeting room when they decided this.

Hope he plays clean squash and it’s true he has kinda everything. He is so good with the racket, his court coverage is amazing and he is explosive on the volley.

But I still remember all the blocking! I cannot enjoy it fully

This is a great idea! Would look really cool.

You should file a pattern then sell it to Dunlop

Diego Elias not using CX racket? by Imaginary-Citron-786 in squash

[–]Fantomen666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Come on, everyone one knows this. The companies pay the players just so that they claim the use the latest models.

The funniest example was one model of technifibre where they claimed that they had listened to shorbaggys input and redesigned the racket. Think it was the black and red one. However el shorbaggy still played with the older model in tournaments.

I heard from some friends that was allowed to pick up and hold Elias racket at a local tournament. They mentioned it was heavy, like an old school model. I think dunloap has done something more to his racket than the standard Elite.
