Let's Talk Squash - SUSPENDED

Do you think your personality has anything to do with the way you play squash. I like having fun and am a retard and my squash is basically smack tight hard length when I feel like it and do stupid fake shots and go for ridiculous winners. That sort of coincides. I could imagine Steve and Viper playing text book english squash down the wall, mix up with boasts and drop when their behind you sort of squash.

You maybe on to something here Bendi - I get bored easily and have trouble sitting still - (although the Dr says the new tablets will help) but I can't be bothhered with attritional squash I like it fast and powerful, mixing it up and basically trying to have fun. I would rather lose 3-2 and have played my type of squash than bore the pants of my opponent and win 3-2.

Still manage to play at a good level so can't all be bad.

giood topic there bendi. there is a lad at our club who is a excellent player and beats most of us most of the time. however, i saw him a few times playting away at national competitions. if he plays someone equal who puts pressure on him he literally shits himself and loses 3 0. even the tiniest amoiunt of pressure will crack him. what you would call local hero i suppose, take the local hero out of the locality and they are not such a hero anymore.

Good thread!

I find it verydifficult to play consistent squash. In other words, straight down the wall until someone plays a loose shot.

I love mixing it up with a few fake shots (swing to play a backwall boast, miss it and play a straight drive Laughing

), cross court drops into the nick and a few trickle boasts. It doesn't always work but my oppeont has to work dam hard to get some of those shots back.
