Squash tips: How to get greater control while also generating power!

In this week's video Jethro explains how taking the ball on the rise or at the top of the bounce will give you greater control when generating power on both the forehand and backhand.

SquashSkills was launched in 2012 by Former World number 1 Peter Nicol and co-founder Jethro Binns. Our goal is to give everyone access to high level squash coaching in an effort to help them become the best player they can be.

When we launched we were very player focused, but as time went on we felt that we also had the opportunity to build a platform that could help coaches expand their knowledge and bring variety to their training.

Coaches can now create and schedule their players training sessions, set drills and tests, and track progress and improvement.

The new website is packed full of tools for both coaches and players, guaranteed to improve your understanding of the game.

simple tip and very well explained. I never thought too much and generally hit as it comes down to give myself that little bit extra time. thanks for the advice :)

If a shot is going to bounce 8 feet from 1st to 2nd bounce, the ball would be at its highest point at 4 feet. So here you would want to hit it before, or at, its midpoint (from 2.5 to 4 feet).
