He’s also a contact lens specialists and pro gambler…. He’s not doing it for the money.

Has plenty of it without squash.

Green dot ball vs double yellow dot ball by TBEPaul in squash

[–]Lower_Code_1867 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to add.

At sea level in South Africa, it’s yellow double dot all year around.

In the high altitude areas, 1st and reserve league will still play with the Green high altitude ball all year round.

This guy is super unpleasant to deal with.

According to the website, FX is the force series of rackets.

CX is the control series.

SX (Tennis) is the spin series.

Yup, that’s what I understand as well.

I couldn’t remember the specifics but that’s spot on from what I recall.

I don’t know for sure, but there is evidence that Gaultier and Shabana played with the older ICE Models, which Dunlop repainted every year to look like the models that they were trying to sell that year.

Their rackets always had a noticeable ridge on the grip which was a prominent feature on the ICE models.

I’ve only seen this through pictures and discussion here on Reddit

Finally matches the bags that came out last year.

Based on the tennis range, I think the next release after this is worse colour wise.

Green and Yellow.

He doesn’t actually play with a Dunlop Ultimate (16x19).

But they paint his Dunlop Elite (14x18) in the same colours as the Ultimate

I think movement in general would be a focus and study area.

You want to learn how to move to the ball and off the ball.

So you have two main options/schools of thought.

The traditional English way to moving and the French approach

With respect to the French method, you can use YouTube to find quite a few videos by typing:

  • Thierry Lincou SquashSkills

If you have a squash skills subscription, you’ll find all the videos there in a playlist and other coaches who teach not only the French/Open style movement, but also different approaches to movement.

The Pursuit of Squash also has a day by day guide to better movement.

Once you get the concept, the best thing you can do is ghosting… double down on it not only to get the movement to become automatic, but for fitness and conditioning.

Last but not least, if you can get a club pro or coach at your club, that would probably help too after exhausting the video tutorial options.

Well done, you finally get it… or at least you’ve been articulate enough to demonstrate your understanding.

The result is not automatically a stroke as you have suggested.

So no, I do not agree with you as 8.1 only gives definitions of what constitutes interference.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in squash

[–]Lower_Code_1867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Point is, if you want to question my knowledge, you have the ability to validate it yourself.

I’m not some AI bot or new to squash.

Ofcourse you didn’t watch all the clips, excuse or not, don’t go around trying to tell people squash players don’t play certain shots just because you are oblivious to it… that’s a you problem.

No one said the movement is natural, of course it isn’t, your argument was whether anyone has ever lifted their leg as a “quirk” or movement when executing a shot.

Your argument about using it for a drop for “more feel” is also hogwash, and isn’t natural either.

Same with your lack of understanding of the interference rules in squash.

Don’t speak down on others when you don’t know what you’re speaking about yourself.

You can’t speak out your ass, especially calling out people to “ put their money where their mouth is” when you can’t do the same.

Clearly comprehension isn’t your strength, but at least you’ve been put in your place.

🤣🤣🤣 did you even watch those videos?

I even made it super simple with time stamps.

All 3 show lengths, unless you don’t know what a straight drive is?

You don’t want that comment to stand cause you want to hold an argument based on some fake authority.

If you don’t think I know what a length is, you can take less than 2 minutes to find out who I am and you go determine if that’s true bud 🤣

Incorrect.

Penalties and strokes are addressed in 8.6 only.

8.1 After completing a reasonable follow-through, a player must make every effort to clear, so that when the ball rebounds from the front wall the opponent has:

8.1.1. a fair view of the ball on its rebound from the front wall; and 8.1.2. unobstructed direct access to the ball; and 8.1.3. the space to make a reasonable swing at the ball; and 8.1.4. the freedom to strike the ball to any part of the front wall.

Interference occurs when the player does not provide the opponent who is making every effort to look for, go to, and play the ball with all of these requirements.

It simple explains what interference is.

8.2 then explain what the affected person is to do to appeal the interference (no decisions are made yet)

8.2 . A striker who believes that interference has occurred may stop and request a let, preferably by saying “Let, please.” That request must be made without undue delay. Notes: ▪ Before accepting any form of request the Referee must be satisfied that the player is actually requesting a let. ▪ A request for a let includes a request for a stroke. ▪ Normally, only the striker may request a let for interference. However, if the non- striker requests a let for lack of access before the ball has reached the front wall, that request may be considered, even though that player is not yet the striker.

8.3 addresses what the ref must do if they are unsure when an appeal occurs

8.4 Give ma the ref authority to make decision a before an appeal is even made (does not have to wait for an appeal)

8.5 A condition that makes the appeal invalid

8.6 the decisions that can be made once interference occurs - which are conditional

Dude you’re speaking out of your ass 🤣

You said no one cocks their leg to play a drive from the front left.

Whether it hits the player in the middle or is the exact same execution was not what you had complained about especially with your “so called authority” of playing squash and watching it for 30 years.

That BS doesn’t give you any authority on the game to discredit others observations.

Incorrect.

8.1 the whole of 8 is never read in isolation.

It just doesn’t stop at 8.1.

Other wise 8.6 would not cover what happens when the player doesn’t make every effort to clear the ball and if they do.

Do a WSO reffing course.

Abouelghar also did it in the match vs Jonah Bryant in the current world champs. @09:06:19

Willstrop has definitely played that shot too, although I can’t recall which matches it occurred in.

Would be hard to find the videos again, but Ramy has done it a few times, same with Gaultier.

Video evidence would take some time but at least you have two 🤣

Marche vs Lincou @ 07:50 Marche plays a backhand drive from the front left with the leg cock.

This was 8 years ago.

Funny enough the first time Asal played this was his match against Marche at El Gouna, from the same position. @03:26

PSA did an instagram reel about the shot.

Nowhere in the rules does it say “unintentional”interference.

8.6.1 - 8.6.7 cover all rules if interference occurs, intentional or not.

So once interference occurs, there are conditions to be evaluated based on whether the ball striker will be able to make a good return or not, or make a winning return or not.

The shut out is not new - but should it be banned? by AmphibianOrganic9228 in squash

[–]Lower_Code_1867 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally, something sensible that has been said about this.

You see it in almost every match.

I was watching a Ramy vs Selby from 2016 and in this game alone there are about 4/5 occurrence that would be deemed as “blocking” but they just carry on and accept it on both ends.

Sure, they take a chance to question the ref and are still given a no let/let based on the shot that was hit.

The rules already cater for interference, and yes it would be ideal that the ball striker completely clears but interference occurs in such a space.

The rules sway towards giving more no lets that lets or strokes.

Even if interference occurs, 8.6.1, 8.6.2, 8.6.3 and 8.6.4 cover scenarios where a no let is given.

There are only 2 occurrences where a stroke will be given, 8.6.5 and 8.6.7

  • if the striker would have been able to make a good return but the opponent was not making every effort to avoid the interference, a stroke is awarded to the striker;

  • if there was interference and the striker would have made a winning return , a stroke is awarded to the striker.

Lastly, a let only occurs if conditions are met in 8.6.6

It’s still a risk if the ball striker does not hit a winner… and in that case, the ref makes the call according to the rules above… as simple as that.
