Squash Skills: Pairs Practice - Lob Volley Boast

This is one of the most common routines you will see practiced on a squash court. This is a great routine to practise to get you warmed up as it introduces a bit of movement to the front corners, which can be controlled, as you know where the ball is going. The player at the front is playing straight drives whilst trying to ensure that the ball does not hit the side wall. The player at the back is boasting each shot and thus changing the sides. Notice how we are both making the effort to get back to the T between shots. It is easy to be lazy with this routine and end up just walking side to side across the court between each shot. I will often do this routine for 3-4 minutes before adding in an extra shot for each player. The person at the front hits a drop shot to themselves before driving the ball back to their partner who drives the ball before returning it to the front of the court with a boast.

Anyone got any advice on what Prince racquets feel like? I just got the Wilson BLX 0.35 and I really liked it. It has the same teardrop shape as the Prince racquets have. Any suggestions on which Prince racquet to buy for an intermediate player?
