Anyone on this site play squash? I got into it my sophomore year of high school and have been pretty serious on off ever since.

I joined a league team this past spring season and our team won the championship - won a stein with a naked lady handle. Which reminds me, I still have to pick it up because we got the members names engraved on it...

The number one selling point of squash is always that it burns the most calories / time alloted for any sport. I have seen on the outside of numerous squash courts a calorie table that compares the calorie burned / 30 mins. Squash is always the most.

Just make sure you don't get hit. I've heard its pretty painful and might make you throw up the pain is that great.

well, i was close to the wall, and i tried to slam it off the wall and move out of the way but it came back at me and skinned my head. The other one I tried a huge power shot but the ball was too close to my body and when i came in with the racket i hit myself in the ribs with my elbow.

I'm not sure what you mean by DIG, but yeah squash is pretty amazing to watch. It can be real quick, slowish, slam rails and nicks, but then all of a sudden switch tempo to very soft touch drop shots. Amazingly precise yet sloppy at the same time. No matter how sloppy a pro plays he will still hand you your head at the end of the match (which will definately end up 9-0, 9-0, 9-0)

Squash requires a mix of many fundamentals: endurance, precision, reflexes and creativity. here is a youtube clip of one of the crazier players to watch, Jonathan Power. http://youtube.com/watch?v=gfqRkNYqqjI

I just watched that video, and i never realized how dangerous that sport is, getting hit with the raquette or something, kinda makes me think and scared to go play again. Jeez some close calls.

Learnt and played a lot in boarding school in India. I picked it up again a few years ago, and was playing in the downtown Y - one of the FEW places with courts. Haven't played in about a year -- looking forward to starting up again.

It's a great sport!

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
