Squash Tips for
Racquetball !
The Athletic position
From beginning all the time crouch a little when you
play. Some players wait for ball in court like I see people stand around
at cocktail party, little drink in hand. Too relaxed. Ball comes to
them, they think, "Ah, here comes ball, I get ready." They get ready too
late.
Why you think tiger goes to crouch when it waits for
dinner in bushes? Better to spring. Same for squash player.
Crouch. Bend knees a little, feet apart, lean forward a little from
middle. Hold racquet up, do not let sag down near floor, hold up, ready
across your middle. Now you can quick spring anywhere with big step,
play forehand, backhand, you waste no time
(68-69).
Move, get set, then hit
Try to remember: move quick as can to gain time. Then
take care with stroke. You learn this, you do a very good thing for your
game (73).
Keep your eye on ball
Cat never takes eye from bird it tries to catch and
never you take eye away from ball you want to hit. Keep eye on ball is
most important one thing I tell you about this game of squash racquets
(74).
Watch ball in stroke. Eye is wonderful quick to follow
that ball, to tell body, "One moment please! A little closer! Snap wrist
now!" such things, so ball goes to center of strings and flies out to
proper place in court (74).
