The Importance of Practise
SQUASH TIP: The Importance of Practice If your game is a bit rough, and you feel like you are just a bit off the pace, and not quite doing what you know you should, I strongly suggest that you have one session a week of routines. This will get your head back into playing the right shot at the right time. Boasts and drives are a good one to warm up with. A good variation on this is to try to volley boast a weak drive. This will put a lot more fizz into the routine. Playing just on one side is a good routine, and only go short when you are in front, with a good volley drop. Just playing deep is good to work on your length, making sure the ball bounces past the half court line. There are dozens you can do. Try and do them to match intensity, otherwise you may as well not bother. Even if you are playing well, routines once a week is a great thing to do for any standard of player. Cheers, Rob Walker
