Thanks for listening to me and making a fantastic English version. I appreciate sincerely.

Great technical detail - I can see that I'll lose myself in my head next game thinking of all these ideas but practicing these techniques consistent I can see will lead to success. Also nice editing on the videos. Thanks

Thank you taking the time to make an English version. This single video has been really helpful.
Pointing out the step back on the return of serve is so simple now that it has been pointed out.
Much appreciated, keep making the videos

Learned more watching this than I have in the last couple years of playing!

Very helpful, thanks. A few loose backhand returns of serve per game can hand an opponent easy points.

"Height equals depth" in service return. Well-explained advice on all that is necessary to implement to achieve this. Thanks for your video.

Dear Sebastian, I want to thank you so much for your helpful videos. My squash game has improved so much after watching them. I still struggle with returning serve straight down wall on my backhand side but much less so now. I appreciate very much the time and effort you have put into making these professional videos. I like that you put markers on the wall and comments on screen too. I hope that you can make more videos.

Very helpful, thank you. Most of my points I give away are just bad returns of serve, so hopefully this will help

[haamidsiddique]

Great video. I really like the graphics on the wall and the clear explanations. Keep it up.

[markchan]

very helpful. You clarified why one of my coaches told me players should crook their wrist on BH return. Going to try that on court next time!
