Squash Coaching - Backhand drive

Спорт

Here is a quick look at developing a quality swing for the backhand drive. We have been working on this for several months and the strength and body control is really coming along.
A compact prep is quick and fully controlled and this primes power in the body drive and then arm swing which should not rely on a huge follow through so the player can maintain balance and come of the ball early.
Much of this is static practice, the next step is to include more movement prior to the strike then increase the difficulty and vary the position before adding more defined targets.
This is a weekly part of the lesson on the backhand drive before moving on to other skills and the improvement has been dramatic, pretty good for 10 years of age.

    Hi Garry, great coaching video on the backhand technique. Sharing this with all my squash buddies. Once you discover that hip/shoulder turn it just transforms your game and thanks for posting all the new content on this channel, they are all gems.

    Super helpful video. Thank you for posting. I've been working on my backahand and your instruction regarding tying in your hip hitting through the ball was brand new to me. I just tested it out in front of a mirror and it feels super awkward to pair it with my upper body rotation. The work never ends!

    Keep all movements short and very strong with most before you hit the ball. Hip beside the ball to front wall not rotating.

    @@squashanalysis5670 thanks, the coaching style videos are definitely interesting also. If you do have any additional tips on incorporating these ideas into solo practice, I guess that would be helpful. I wonder if that could be another video in itself? Just a thought.

    Really interesting video. I really liked the cue for the elbow to instigate the torso turn. Question - the step exercise seemed to emphasise staying upright? I've been told to hinge at the hips, specifically not to stand tall. What do you think of this?

    You have to hips if you are on full stretch but all other times you should protect your foundation. For all easy shots staying upright and bending at the knees if required is good. Gone are the days of maintaining a 90 degree wrist through the swing as this forsakes all other muscles to work hard to allow this position, standing more upright and dropping the wrist (not broken) will give reach, power, deception and options in a much more energy efficient way and if you are playing a good standard every little bit helps. If you are in doubt watch Rammy, Momen or Ali Farag and you will see the use of the dropped wrist for high quality outcomes with little effort.
