@l0uwa Your "winners" are probably easy shots to them. Great squash players can return nearly any shot, and keep a rally going for forever.

@rezkogitans true I never said that you couldnt play both, but the fact that the motions are different, and dont particularly compliment each other that well in my opinion

[rezkogitans]

@deano3105 Power in both sports on the basic drives comes from the entire kinetic chain, distal to proximal, although aside from speciality shots and deception, most squash coaches seem to teach that the wrist is not really used much at all, but kept cocked throughout.

And yes as I said the swings are different, but why must it follow that one will hurt the other? If you try to play tennis with a squash-like swing or vice versa, you will have problems, but no one says you have to do that.

@rezkogitans it actually does hurt ur tennis game, as the swing power in squash is generated from a wrist based swing, alot like the badminton swing which is very similar action, a tennis swing if you watch on television will be hit with a straight arm and body throwing forward to generate power in the shot

i cant see the ball

[l0uwa]

Why doesn't one of them hit a winner!!! Instead of just passing it to each other..I play this game all the time and i hit it about an inch above the red. No one can get to those.

[rezkogitans]

This is how a ball is supposed to bounce. Many people think a double yellow bounces less because their rallies consist of a few shots only and the ball never warms up adequately to bounce as intended.

[rezkogitans]

I don't have any expert knowledge, but I doubt very much that squash will hurt your tennis. Why should it? Does your running hurt your walking? Does your printing hurt your writing? Your crawl hurt your breastroke? Etc? Squash and tennis are smilar but different. Different enough that I doubt there need be any confusion if you approach the games with at least a minimum of intelligence.

haha thank u!

[Xavierthegreat666]

you don't usually snap your wrist when playing squash.only if you do it for deception..with proper technique its foreaarm rotation (pronation/supination)...if you are using your wrist all the time youll hurt your elbow/wrist

that being said, squash and tennis swings are very very different..
