Razik's Squash Quick Tips 5 (Volley)

[5oupFTW]

Razik seems to counter his balance with his arm, is this recommended or just natural?

[Jefffranzen]

Shahir is a great ambassador for the game. He was recently in D.C. area and gave an exhibition. He is a great player and a great speaker. The crowd really enjoyed him.

[huntrichardson]

Actually the power is generated from his planted feet, transferred body weight and the stability in his legs and shoulder. the follow-through and stable wrist provide control.

[katapila]

@huntrichardson Must remember the cocked wrist. The turning action of your forearm through the shot is another big source of power. Not a bending of the wrist though, that stays relatively cocked. It's the rotation of the forearm one must remember.

[huntrichardson]

@katapila Yes, we're nitpicking! rotating forearm transfers the power that started in shifted body weight & stability in legs and shoulder.

Step #4 (slo-mo text) says "Power comes FROM follow-through". it does not in this clip. it originates in Shahier's legs. when he hits harder he cocks his wrist and then actually straightens it.

Power sequence is legs->spine->shoulder->upper arm->elbow->forearm->wrist (also adds control). the kinetic energy progresses up/out through the bones & joints.

Can anyone explain what is the meaning of "Stay squared to the side wall"? Thanks in advance ;)

great videos please make more.

[rose2710]

volley is for wat?

[filb0]

Putting your opponent under pressure. By hitting it early, before it bounces, it catches them out of position (away from the T)

[SquashGod]

Great Video! I use it as a teach tool.

BTW: where is that court? Door on the side wall in the back corner.

[thetood]

excellent series, i suppose you'll end up making dvds soon!

[bobulix]

Thnaks. Keep making these and one day I'll beat my mate :o)
