In this squash coaching video, I focus on the backhand swing, particularly for left-handed players. Through detailed analysis and side-by-side comparisons, I identify common faults and provide actionable tips for improvement. This tutorial will help refine the backhand technique, regardless of your dominant hand.

🎯 Main Takeaways from a Coaching Perspective:

🔢 One-Two-Three Swing: The video emphasises the importance of a three-part swing for generating body weight and momentum behind the ball. Skipping any part can lead to an over-reliance on arm strength.

💪 Body Momentum: A well-shaped swing engages not just the arm but also the hips and shoulders. This allows for a more powerful and controlled shot.

🤚 "Swan Neck" Wrist: A bent wrist, or "swan neck," often indicates a lack of proper swing mechanics and can lead to less power and control.

👣 Positioning & Spacing: Proper spacing and positioning relative to the ball are crucial. Being too close or too far can affect the swing and make it less effective.

🔄 Follow Through: A good follow-through is essential for adding punch to the ball. The video praises my student's follow-through as a positive aspect of his technique.

👟 Back Foot Slide: The video points out the importance of the back foot slide and how being too low and compact can make it harder to move out of the shot.

🕰 Timing the Ball: Meeting the ball at the peak of its bounce or just as it starts to drop can make a significant difference in the effectiveness of the shot.
