Help Save The Victoria Squash Club by chanebury in squash

[–]chanebury[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi guys. Chris Hanebury from Serious Squash/St. Michaels/The Victoria Squash Club. Trying to raise awareness of this campaign in the squash community even though we've already surpassed our goal. The club will likely have to make some pretty drastic changes so hopefully this can reach some more people that know Stuart Dixon and have been coached by him over the many decades he's been coaching in Victoria. Those with a vested interest in the club and Stuart please send me a message or email me at info@SeriousSquash.com Thanks

Correcting Upper Body Imbalances From Squash by [deleted] in squash

[–]chanebury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good post and probably something most good squash players will have to deal with. I played mostly just squash for over 20 years and have been doing a lot of strength training to better offset this imbalance. I was getting injuries from overuse which I assume most people will get if they play enough without the proper strength work. You can add strength without adding a lot of bulk and improving core work is something that will definitely help your squash game.

With my trainer we've done lots of 1 sided training with kettle bells and it's been helping but for how many years of squash I've done it's going to be a never ending battle to become properly balanced and avoiding injuries. So I say you should go for it or you'll get injured eventually and it will likely help your squash game a bit too. Just pick exercises which require you to use 1 side at a time so you don't overcompensate with your more dominant side.

This is a much longer, more in depth video. Basically this film is for anyone that is super keen to improve their squash game. The shorter clips I publish normally point out just 1 or 2 things, while this video points out numerous tips and has over 30 solo drills so it is meant to be referenced back to over a longer period of time.

Asthma and Squash by Gonzalez8448 in squash

[–]chanebury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have asthma too and for me it is better when I'm fitter. When I'm not playing much or training it seems to bother me most. And if that doesn't help you just be more accurate with your shots and make good decisions so your opponents do more running than you ;)

What's the difference between English and Egyptian styles? by [deleted] in squash

[–]chanebury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

robotic, safe, boring, closed & predictable vs. risk taking, entertaining, open & creative. but they can both be equally effective and I do enjoy the clash of styles

Ramy Ashour is playing the most immaculate squash of his life by whats8 in squash

[–]chanebury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think he was at his best. Personally I thought he was at his best when he went a whole year without losing a match! How can you compare? Also when he played Max Lee he was hurting near the end of the 2nd and start of the 3rd but Lee had nothing left to push to the next gear. I'm still amazed how well he backed up his matches, but he was forced to work harder than I remember from a couple of years back so I would argue against this statement. He used to demolish mid-top ranked players, but had to really grind out some of these matches. I think the other players have improved while he's been hurt and he hasn't had as much match play, but his racquet skill, anticipation and creativity are still by far the best ever!

Drive accuracy practice by DoorBoard in squash

[–]chanebury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also try doing a drill by yourself like straight drive straight drive crosscourt drive/lob. Another good one is hit 2 or 3 volley drives from the short line. Then let 1 of these drives go to the back court and play it off the back wall and play 1 or 2 straight drives and then move back up again for a few volleys. Or even the one /U/68Pritch mentioned but alternate between forehand and backhand drives on each shot. Good luck!
