hi I’m Veronica with watchmojo.com and
today we’re taking a look at some of the
basics of squash so now we’re on the
court with Veronica that’s going to have
a squash 101 what you’re trying to do is
hit the ball to the front wall the ball
has to hit above this line here which is
made of metal when people hit it we hear
it and the ball has to hit the front
wall below that out-of-court line the
high ones there the ball can also hit
the side walls and the back walls as
long as it hits the front wall but today
we’ll concentrate on playing the ball
directly to the front wall we won’t work
with the angles or with the side wall
all right so let’s let’s start now
there’s a few types of swing but the
basic ones are the forehand and the
backhand so I’ll just give you a few
tips very simply so you want to make
sure that you’re making contact you know
between your knee and your hip right
here and when you’re swinging through
I’ll give you just this one tip make
sure that the butt of the racket is
pointing at the ball and then just swing
through so I want that butt of the
racket pointing at the ball and swing
through very good let’s do one more
point the butt
very good now we’re going to cover the
other side which is the backhand so for
you it’s played on you on the left hand
side of your body remember to rotate
through Rotem there you go
see that’s where the power is coming
from okay so now we’ll see the serve
because you have to put the ball in play
it’s quite simple in squash you got to
have at least one foot in the service
box when you’re when you’re hitting and
you got to hit the ball above that
middle line which is the line for
serving and the ball has to land on the
opposite side of the court at the back
pass this line pass this line very
simple the rackets back
sit and just rotate very good okay so
now that we’ve seen the basic strokes
which are forehand backhand and serve
we’re able to rally because Veronica is
doing so well so we’ll start moving
around the court a bit ready now it’s a
back-end turnaround well that’s good
you’re making me run on the forehand now
it’s a back-end turnaround good on the
forehand go it’s still a
