James Willstrop: 40 at 40
'The Marksman' James Willstrop just doing what he does. The Yorkshireman turns 40 this month (on 15 August to be precise), so in honour check out 40 of his most precise drives, drops, boasts, nicks and 'windmill' shots in this short video from Squash IQ. For more see www.squash-iq.com
NB: James like the video so much he's added his own commentary for us here - • James Willstrop: 40 at...

When you can make Ramy Ashour pull those kind of faces of bewliderment and respect, you know you're a good squash player.
the fact 80% of players in these clips applauded his shots and not to forget they are professional players
Number 26 is honestly one of my favourite all time shots. It's so unspectacular, off a regulation length from Golan, but the beauty unfolds as it slides down the wall and gradually loses pace, becoming increasingly unplayable the whole way.

great compilation, thanks!
He is amazing. Shot no 40 is amazing. The most skillful squash player ever.
Willstrop is and was the most creative player in squash history
Excellent video
Amazing video!
the pink colour scheme is the best for TV imo
That two-wall boast is lethal; so great to watch!
Nice video, please do more!
An absolute delight!
A quite superb squash player. And his book is a good read too

This is a great comment and sums him up perfectly!
that was T-I-I-G-G-H-T-TT.
Not sure if that ridiculous accuracy can be called IQ. Could be "GB" for game brilliance, while the length drives and the multi fakes.... thats the IQ bit.
WILSTROP ES EL RONALDINHO DEL SQUASH :D

Yeah I get the JK’s … but different era’s… this fella has been on tour 20 plus years, competing against Uber athletes at speeds and equipment that’s a different level than the 70’s and 80’s… That’s why James Willstrop is the greatest squash player of all time…

Too bad not the whole rally of #40 is shown, the current take-out doesn't really do justice to the shot IMO.

We used to have Willstrop and Ashour. Now we have Asal. No wonder people are switching to Padel instead.
