It is a common problem and you need to fix it as early as possible. Using body for power rather than arm and wrist will also help.

@@squashanalysis5670 I have found it difficult to coach people on how to fix this type of broken wrist technique. The way you explain, demonstrate, and then use graduated drills here is brilliant and will help me help others.

Thanks a lot Garry. Think I get the concept of the unbroken wrist. Very useful.

Great, I am sure it will have a positive impact.

The first 30s of this made me painfully realise how much more my backhand had to gain... Thanks for the advice, I'll be up the front with a turned back wrist next training session!

Your welcome

Thank you a lot. I'm wondering if it's important for my slightly cocked wrist not to move(bend) toward my forearm or the wall during the swing from the preparation to the point of contact with the ball? I'm aiming for a better and more controlled shot. Thanks.

Keep your wrist back as much as possible throughout the swing for a consistent shot outcome.

Great video, very usefull tips, question; what ball are you using here?

A fat ball made by Karakal so it does not need to be warmed up and is slightly bigger and easier to se on camera. They are great for beginners and wonderful to hit being a perfect weight. The video by myself is a double yellow.

On the forehand, what would be the position of the wrist? Would you have a video showing the position of the wrist and how the body brings power?

You generally keep the racquet pointing to the roof. I will release a forehand video in the near future.

Excellent tips. How would this work on the forehand?

The forehand is different and doing the front wall short lobs promotes too much wrist flick so stick with the backhand. For forehand simply developing wrist strength will be enough as it is a more natural swing like throwing or skipping a stone, it is the unwinding of the backhand that often makes the wrist lag and activate late in the hit.

@@squashanalysis5670 at what point does the wrist rotate in the backhand and by how much? Of should it be kept in its original cocked position throughout the swing?

@@yusufismail1311 your wrist is held back during prep and then goes to t neutral position on strike then often returns to the held back position on the follow through. You may use it slightly more on full extension hits but generally a strong wrist with minimal movement will set you in the right direction. This will not be the case if you do not strike the ball in the right ball to body position, I have a video on that uploaded already if you want to check it out.

Great video, I see this as my biggest problem at the moment after recording my swings, is it possible to send you a video or email you ?

Hi James, I do personal video analysis and it is very affordable @ $10AUD when purchased in a set amount, there is also the Backhand and Forehand 6-week program with training videos that guarantees improvement. email me garry@squashanalysis.com

I actually think what most coaches miss is that the break happens right before impact NOT at the shoulder. Sure beginners have this issue but many intermediate players look perfect all the way until point of contact. The centrifugal force breaks the wrist at contact which is due to weakness….and this is something coaches need to address…

@squashanalysis5670

The problem you are referring to is when players take the ball too far in front of them breaking their wrist just before they hit to get direction. You are right this is a broken wrist and simply fixed by having the player strike the ball later in what I call the power zone which activates the core muscles through the hit or stepping to the front wall to get the ball in the best position. Players are told to take the ball early but this can cause the broken wrist just before contact unless they use good movement.

Oh man my wrist is way broken on every single backhand shot lol.

It takes a little training to change what you have always done. Deliberate practice will work wonders.
