"am talking about all aspects of athletes in general; mental training, core strength training, flexibility"
Go look at some of Jahangir matches and training vids. In my mind there is no PSA player today as physically strong as he was.
Advanced techonology is immensely overrated in sports. Its all about putting in a lot of hours of hard work, being determined and genes also help.

I am not just talking about brute strength, I am talking about all aspects of athletes in general; mental training, core strength training, flexibility. It is all more advanced than it was in the 80's. I have played sports at a pro level and can see the change in professional athletes today compared to years ago. No disrespect to Jonah or Geoff. It is just technology.

This court seems narrow to me.

How do you know? By your own admission you`re only a kid. Your logic doesn`t follow. Jonah Barrington and Geoff Hunt were more sinewy muscular than just about any player since. They were not born that way. They honed themselves through brutal training.

This was shot in Belkin squash courts at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. It is one of the best courts I've ever played in. Though, I sometimes missed the ball on backhand side with the glass wall. I actually was in Ithaca when this exhibition match was played. I really wished I was there. Few years later, I saw an exhibition between White and Kneipp at the same court and it was truly amazing. Squash ball looks like pingpong ball when these guys hit.

Here are my thoughts on players from the 80's and players from today. Look at every other sport now, compared to twenty years ago. The quality is far better now. It is because athletes are far more knowledgeable about training, diet and not to mention technological advances in not just squash but all sport. Athletes today are far superior to athletes 20 to 30 years ago and athletes in 30 years from now will be superior than athletes now.
JP never reached nr 1 in 2005... he did so in 2006. In 2006 he for example beat Greg Gaultier 3 times! Greg is one of the fastest players around...
And by the way JP won 4 psa tournies out of 12 in 2005 so to say that lots of guys ranked lower than him could handle him shows how much you know...
