What a fantastic video! Answered so many of the questions I had! As a monolingual Brit myself, the fact you can communicate these points so clearly and effectively in your 2nd language blows my tiny mind!🤣
I just watched the video again. Seb, you're a great teacher.
I have been looking for so long for a video that could improve my movement and help me pick up back corner shots. I am glad for this video! This really helped to decipher the technique thank you so much for it !
By far the best explanation and illustrations on how to get the ball out of the back corners. Bravo. I wish I had seen this earlier. Will do some solo practice tomorrow.
Thanks a lot - for me your videos are top notch in terms of helping me to understand the techniques of squash. You are a great teacher!
Thanks Seb for your explanations about position for FH and BH 👍 it was a very useful information 🫶
Playing squash for 40 years but never thought about these back court movements. I will tomorrow! Many thanks
excellent video
Thanks! The 'dropdown' part is crucial and thanks again for mentioning this.
Another very helpful coaching video. So easy to follow & understand. I will definitely use your tips to help improve my movement to the corners and driving straight down the wall. Thank you!
Fijne instructies! als beginnende squasher veel tips om over na te denken. Ik kreeg veel ballen tegen de achterwand, die liet ik gaan omdat ik het zelf niet kon uitvogelen. Dit geeft nieuwe motivatie. dankjewel!
Excelent explanation...is the Best I ever saw...totaly clear...I've not practiced this, but when I'm going to do, I totaly sure I'm going to improve a lot...thanks
Wow. Your video instructions are so detailed and importantly accurate including how Sharbana would position himself. Thanks alot on behalf of the millions of squash players around the world.
Really helpful. Thanks for the efforts in making this video. Good skills too.
Very helpful, I broke many rackets trying to do it in right way
Going to try this game for the first time, and I was confused about how to get power from those back corners in theory. Now to fail the practical, but at least I know some theory. Thank you !
All three points are well explained and demonstrated. I'll begin woking on the techniques today, beginning with balance. Thanks!
The video was beneficial, with so many helpful tips. Thank you
Thank you
Nice point!
Great points. thank you
Great! thx
Brilliant video and explanation thanks
Love your videos!!! So current !
Very informative. Thank you.
Great video! Thanks for all the tips. Very well done.
great tips!
Great tips and very fruitful❤
super informative video, saying it as a coach. Thank you!
Nice lesson again💪
Such a great video! Really useful info, thanks!
Love the detail discussion of each step. I practice the back court drill in the mid Court, with a virtual back wall along the back of the service box - reduces the panic and let's you focus on grooving the technique
great video. good coaching
Muchas gracias Sebastian, el mejor video que he visto sobre este punto, ya quiero practicarlo.
Great videos. We need more.
Thank you! And working on it 🙂
Thanks for all your explanations! I'm a low grade player trying to work on accurate driving and retrievals. I didn't have lessons when I was young so I'm keen to try out these techniques
Thanks! Let me know how it goes 💪🏻
Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Awesome explanation,can’t wait to practice this. Love the channel & the background beats 😎 please keep them coming in English 🙏
Hi Justin, thanks for the support, all future videos will be in English... just uploaded the first of a series of 5 #shorts video as a translation to the fundamental video I posted in Dutch earlier. Hopefully this makes more sense.... :-) kzhead.infoPChEJy7Yf7Y?feature=share
verygood vedio
I find this to be really good solid advice. I liked the movement options you show from the T, gonna practice the Shabana step now!
I love the shaba movement! Let me know how it goes!
I found it easier to hit the ball out of backhand corner when my chest faces a bit towards the sidewall rather than the backwall completely. Not sure if this is bad technique though
If it works, don’t change!!
What about the heavy ball when you have to move backwards as you hit the shot???
I will make a shorts video for this one this week!
My training video
Could you pls do an English translation of your earlier videos? They look good but I can’t understand them
During explanation was shown body rotaion (face to the back wall ~5:40) and right after you show how to hit the ball and don`t do this rotation (~6:00)... so confusing explanation....
Hi, thanks for your comment, I understand what you mean however, although my rotation is not as exaggerated as in the slomo (sorry for this, the ball of the first shot did not come back of the back as much), the rotation is essential for this shot to create ‘effortless’ speed. Look at the rotation of the shoulders and especially at the diagonal line of the shoulders (6:17) hitting it. Did not mean to confuse you, sometimes exaggerating is necessary in the beginning of practicing this shot to find the range that works for you! Good luck 💪
@@squashoriginals2392 Thank you for clarification! I think I understand what you mean ) One more clarification. When strong players play, the ball bounce quite far of the back wall. But in beginners game hits are not so strong and the ball fell almost right after back wall. Should I use the same strategy for such situations?
@@Artem-ct9xf You are probably more likely to play a boast when the ball stays in the back (maybe even a backwall boast), if possible use your right foot to avoid closing yourself up and maybe (but this could be very technical) flick a straight ball out of the corner. Most easy decision is to play the boast! Obviously I am not sure about your (skill)level, so my answer is pretty general :-)
@@squashoriginals2392 Thank you! I appreciate your clarifications so much.
You've pretty much - dismissed the fundamentals of the game - saying you don't like to play off the left foot on the forehand. Thats the forehand drive. Its like asking a golfer to play off one leg. All your power comes from the left foot, and its the natural striking position for the body. All the torque comes from there. Extremely important as the basis for a beginner. The pros can attempt that open stance because they have enough skill in there touch and wrist. Also - I would take another look at your own forehand drive follow trough, you are coming across the ball.
