Ok, so I used to think I was somewhat an athlete, but after watching this squash video, I realize that I’m not…. At all. These people are true athletes. For a single point to last as long as it does with these people, I think I would die of a massive heart failure. No wonder they changed the scoring of the game to make the game more ‘fast pace’.
I try to play this game three times a week. Sometimes I’m good, sometimes I’m not. I find that Wednesdays are my best day for playing – can anyone explain that?
Did you notice (a) how much power these guys can get from just a flick of the wrist, (b) the way the entire volley alternates between deep lobs and weak little “dink” shots, with nothing hittable at mid-court, and (c) the way they stopped to gasp for air after the third volley?
