As a growing squash player I can not express how much I appreciate these amazing videos with insane amounts of details. Thank you so much for your work!

Seb really trusts his game: great footwork, great speed and really good tecnique. In the last game he was maybe struggling a little bit phisically so he shortened the rallies playing some more risky shots. But he knew all the work he put into his opponent's legs before, so he was actually following his game plan. Great video! Keep up the good work!

"Controlling the chaos" :-) The challenge of my squash life..... I have been looking for a while how to stay calm and focus on hitting my targets instead of rushing too much.

Excellent analysis. Please keep it up.

Great video. It's useful seeing how you construct the rallies.

Great video! Lot’s to learn: positioning during rallies, shot selection, etc… thank you!

Great videos, please make some more

De functie afspeelsnelheid is heel handig hier. Op 0.50 leer ik een hoop bij, met name rondom positionering. Dank😊

Awesome channel

Thanks for the awesome match play! Love the channel!

thanks for the support Justin!

I think the key here is: Seb knows what shot he wants his OPPONENT take next, Not what shot HE wants to take. It's very visual in his positioning, he creates 'air' and 'space' for his opponent convincing him it's the correct shot, then playing the centre court to throw the balance off. It's a very clever way of playing. As he mentioned, jeroen almost becomes worried if his drop shot will win him the score but seb wanted him there in the first place.

I like the way you put his in words :-)

Another excellent video Seb, good to see some of the concepts put into practice in a real game. It really highlights how you go about constructing a rally. Love the camera angle on the backhand corner and you can really see how tight the ball is being hit and the use of height. Great tip on the pattern where you set up your opponent for the volley drop and then play that winner cross-court in the front. Looking forward to the next video.

thanks a lot Michael! next one is coming up Monday :-) thanks for the support!

Nice video! I like all three camera angels, nice to se detail sin backhand and then forehand. The first view was also good for noticing your movement, so great that you had different angles for different purpose. Jeroen looked really explosive out from the T, but Sebs squash looks more polished, with very good length. I think there is also slight difference that Seb look much more balanced in the body when playing shots. Just mentioning some stuff I was thinking while watching. Really enjoyable and appreciate the effort. Hats of to both of you!

Thanks Olof, I appreciate the observation, interesting things you mention!

I am learning a lot here (Delhi) from your videos. There are wonderful small but amazing technical, strategic and tactical inputs you provide based on your competitive experience. Thank you so much. While you are on the T, I see your body position prepared for a cross court return from the opponent. Is that intentional? How does one "stay ready" when the opponent is going to hit?

Great video thanks it would be good to see the shots off theback wall in slow motion to see the flight and angle of the racket. Thanks

Where do I get the squash court T-shirt!? Also this was a fantastic video and was really useful to see a more in depth look at shot selection, especially where you were offering up the backhand volley drop as a trap to counter-punch. Superb!

New to the channel, I think you have one of the best out there, comparable and better in some cases to Squash Sills. My only criticism is the repetitive music!

Hey Sebastiaan, wat vet dat je nu video's maakt. Misschien interessant om ook breakdowns te doen van je matches in de eredivisie en laten zien waar het mis gaat. Heb altijd het gevoel dat het nuances zijn maar waar het dan "precies" in zit. En iets waar ik zelf mee struggle is "kijken", wat behoorlijk underrated is volgens mij. Kijken waar de bal komt, maar ook kijken waar je slaat etc.

Leuk idee! Ga kijken of dat lukt. Kijken is ontzettend belangrijk, blijf in investeren! Kijk ook eens naar het racket van je tegenstander na je slag……

Hey. Thanks for doing this for the community. I’m surprised that both of you have no racket up when you are on T. How is that possible even though you have every ball? :D Greetings from 🇨🇿 David

Great observation. I’ve noticed a lot of pros will have the racket parallel to the floor with the butt of the racket pointing at the belly button. I think that this a neutral, energy efficient position that will cover the ball going straight or x-court. Top squash, pleasure to watch.

I prefer the camera angle in game 2 that shows the full back left corner.

This video demonstrates your A B C D theory. It also shows you don't have to hit a ball hard, just use good weight of stroke. Nice. Are your shoes Brooks?

The next time I lose a tie-breaker in the 5th I must remember to request a ‘bonus rally’! 😉

So at 5:25 you decided to drop from the back, and you won the point. Why did you decide at this point to go for the attacking higher risk shot? Was it because you were getting tired and decided to end the rally, or just instinctive, as the ball was sitting up in a good position to play that shot? I suffer with these decisions, and often force it too early in the rally or at the wrong time. I guess though that's part of the art of playing squash!

I think it was a little bit forced, but also calculated, although I was a bit under pressure, I also felt quite comfortable in the pace we were playing. I already hit a few drives, this time the ball bounced back from the back wall quite a but, I was feeling my backhand quite goos that day and it didn’t feel like a high risk shot, if you keep the ball tight there not much he could do really… So previous rallies do add up in making a decision which corner to attack, how does your opponent counter and how good do you feel confidence wise. He had played a few cross courts from that position but not really threatening me. Also you probably know when you go for it at the ‘wrong’ time, somewhere in the mind you tell yourself not to hit a certain shot, in this case that was not in my mind at all.

@@squashoriginals2392 Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I probably think along similar lines, although at times (perhaps incorrectly) I'll decide before hand that I'm going to attack his serve to the nick, unless it's a great serve. Depending on where I am points wise in the game. No perfect way to play I guess; whatever makes you successful!

Love your videos. The sounds could benefit from a better microphone ;-)
