This is brilliant. First proper guidance I’ve seen on technique for high quality digging

This is THE BEST squash training video episode I’ve ever seen on a very difficult shot to teach. Thank you so much! The explanation on the physics is spot on and it was great to show a real player who was just learning the exact shot to show us how it is usually incorrectly done and then how it’s meant to be done. Even the comment by her about it feeling like an unnatural shot is helpful because that’s exactly how I would feel, hence why it’s a difficult shot to learn. No unnecessary embellishments and no over exaggerated demonstrations. Perfect......just perfect.

Great stuff. The in-person coaching and slowmo worked really well for this.

really the best information .. well done .. many other online tutorials are lacking

Great technique in this vid, struggle with this situation a lot, thanks!

Jesse as always providing best technique. Top coach

Wow! I'm a fairly new player that is constantly trying to improve, played for about 1.5 year. I always had trouble with digging the ball out backhand corner but as I watched this and then played a club match I think I had my best game so far. This video helped me so much with understanding how to dig the ball out, thank you

One of the best squash instruction videos I've seen. Well done.

Very well explained! Thank you

Great one ! And 10 minutes !!! Thank you.

Best video i have ever seen on digging the ball out of the back corner. Thank you.

About to play my first bit of squash tomorrow after a 15yr break. Wasn't all that good to begin with, mind you, and was always frustrated with a long ball that died near the back wall. Learning about the dig tonight has been invaluable and has helped answer a question I've had for a while, which was how to return the ball with no room to swing. Excellent video, nicely done.

I have played Badminton a lot, so playing squash i have been quite ok with volleys, touch, straight drives and lobs. But this shot used to drive me mad always..i would just rush to volley it all the time and mishit it.. this is such an awesome video i cant even explain!!

wow this is precious advice

Great tutorial video. Going to give it try this evening.

Honestly, this is the video I really needed to see. Thanks for this. I am going to try this today!

Excelentes clases, gracias.

That's it. Jesse always brings it to the point.

this is so helpful. im off to squash training right now.....cant wait to get round it! A++

Wonderful video and technique showing made very simple ,that was my weakest point in the game and knowing the secret now will make my level better and better .thanks keep up the great job coach .

Fantastic video. Some incredible shots in there as well.

Great video and great talk through!!

Excellent! Tried it, works like a charm

Great advice!

Good one coach very useful information 👍

Interesting video. A million years ago when I had some lessons, emphasis was placed on footwork and how to move into the shot from the T. Correct footwork allowed you to move into the shot properly and also resulted in correct positioning of hips and shoulders, The end result was that there was only one way to swing at the ball and that was the correct way.

I was so happy for her when she got it right. Now it's my turn to try... Thank you so much!

Great video!!

Thank you this is an excellent tutorial video - Jesse explains and then demonstrates the smaller details and then the overall technique so articulately. I will practice this every single time I go to the court for my solo practice. In summary, face the back wall/glass, squat nice and low, racquet starting position is over my left shoulder and comes flat along the back wall, switch grip to higher 'digging' out grip, aim for height in shot so to return ball to back corner. Sounds easy enough, we'll see.. .. :-). Thanks Jesse, keep up the great videos!

this was really helpful. Really.

All I can say is this works My previous option where a cheeky drop shot straight or boast It's can be a winning shot as your opponent doesn't expect the deep one back

amazing lesson

Such a hard skill, brilliant coach

Wow. Awesome! Thanks

Best coaching technique so far. Thanks. Really appreciate as it will bring more interest and competition to the game if the club or novice can raise their game.

Great video! How would you do this shot for forehand though?

Absolute key sentence to this vid (which is awesome) comes just after the 6:10min mark, about racquet vs glass. Great video

thanks guys 👍

Great video

I would never have guessed turning even further away to get more of a swing would be the correct thing to do but it makes so much sense!

Excellent, would love to see a similar video for the right side of the court

I like it!

the only good digging tutorial for corner balls :)

@SquashSkills how do you cahnge the grip during the game/play when running towards the glass?

Hey nice vid and nice balance in interaction between you and the student. However I wonder if this is enough information. What if the ball is really close to the back glass? In the forehand digging lesson you mentioned that you can switch to a more of a flick of the wrist if it's really close to the back glass. What about when it's a backhand shot? Same thing? Thanks in advance!

nice technique, great student, absolutely gorgeous swings

its not 'stealing'...its 'utilizing'... Squash is unique because of those walls we have to deal with! .... Our 'stroke technique' has also evolved to allow for those walls too! (I wonder how many folk have even THOUGHT about that aspect of good stroke production!!?? )

It is said that you should touch the racket further up. When and how do you change hand position during the game and do you use both hands or do you do it with one hand?

That ball looks so cold!

I remember the battles this dude used to have with Mark Taverner in Harare... in his Teenage years... wow his come a long way.... well done Zimbo....

How about digging on the fronthand side?

watch his reflection in the glass- it's crazy how different it moves! :o

Thanks guys! Great tutorial! I'm playing squash against my South African friend tonight (I'm English) let's hope your lesson can help me win!!!

how did it go 😁

wish i had a coach around me like this bloke

I actually learn squash and squash is fun I like it

I was kind of on the right path but this has made it much clearer what I need to focus on... Is there also a video for the forehand corner?

Here you go: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZaZ7uM2Tg5uxfJc.html

I presume some sort of whip/slice for forehand although involving the arm going right across your body

Please demonstrate on the forehand side. There are technical differences that are challenging to execute properly.

Yes...I tend to dig straight on the backhand but boast dig on the forehand because the technique/motion is different

Which ball is this? I usually play with 2 dot yellow and that does not bounce this much. Which makes it more difficult to pick up

@kb_100

You might not be having long enough rallies. The double yellow bounces a lot only when it is warmed up. My advice if you're a beginner is to play with a single yellow dot or red dot so the rallies can be longer and the games more fun.

Outsider looking in question: can tennis pros easily carry into Squash and vice-versa? Likewise can badminton pros carry over to Squash or tennis or vice-versa? * there seems to be an obvious connection to all these racquet sports namely the racquet.

I think its easier for a decent tennis player to at least return a few balls on a squash court than it is for a squash player to return balls on a tennis court. But for pro's to switch codes and be professional in the other code is too hard.

Lot of players i have seen been good at squash and badminton especially if they have good reach. Need to work on the angles.

Thank you , finally someone told and show me how to dig that balls from back wall . Those made me mad all the time

More of this please! No more 2 minute crap and some proper videos on solo practice drills would be ace.

Who is the girl? What's her KZread/Instagram? Why aren't people interested in her work and progress?

Great video, but you shouldn’t change your grip so it’s further up the racket. It’s a bad thing to do as you may not be able to get your grip back to the same place, i’ve seen people do it before but it’s not good. Just give yourself more space, you never see the top players changing their grip midway through a shot.

@michazawadzki3813

False. The pros ALWAYS shorten their grip when digging. They don't do it during the shot because it's part of racquet preparation.

This is the most incoherent and incomprehensible guff I've ever seen. Obviously good at the game, but lacks absolutely basic language skills.

LOL! This coach is concise and coherent, whereas you failed to formulate a syntactically correct sentence. "Guff" is heard, not seen. Also, the adverb ("absolutely") must never go between the verb and the direct object.
