I can't believe this video had only 8 up votes. It's terrific. Thanks!

I agree. A really good video that needs to be seen by more people. It was all new to me. Thanks!

Thanks for the positive comments, there is a little more to dynamic take off and I will release another video expanding on this soon, remember if you move well you play well due to early approach and plenty of time to get your prep in and your body to ball relationship just right for power and options.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, the split step is all about engaging your body in the most powerful directions and working off that strong position. When you split you will often not know where your opponent is hitting so you need to have the ability to go any direction from the split position. We have 2500 videos online and explain many aspects of squash differently to others for awesome results. Check out our Facebook page as well as we post other videos as well as the videos on our web site.

@@squashanalysis5670 can you please clarify if the player should wait until he knows if a short ball was played as this will need a different landing of legs forward?

@@ahmedhafez6876 it makes no difference if a short shot is played you will naturally split forward to back with your feet but only slightly and use what I call a speed skater drive forward loading your second leg for a major drive forward after the initial momentum is generated from your outside foot. You can not rely on a sprinters position split as some like to suggest as you often do not know the ball is going short so this method on our video covers all bases.

nice - yay Ryan! :D

Great video! Will use it to train our youth ;)

Thanks for the feedback , we have a FREE skills app that may help your players as well.

Very instructive video ! Great and simple way to understand the accurate timing required for the split step : "jump on the opponent ball hitting" (and then "land wide"). Your advises are clear, useful, and well supported by the slow-motion actions. I will (try to) apply them ! Of course, for me, the other critical action is then to push off... in the GOOD direction, ha ha ha ! Thanks so much !

nice video except it's misleading to say players jump in the air as the opponent is striking the ball, I don't this happen in the pro game and it's very confusing,
