Squash Training Drills with James Willstrop

Описание: I was lucky enough to get on court with former world no. 1 James Willstrop up at the Pontefract Squash & Leisure Club in Yorkshire. Here we are doing some simple drills that you can do yourselves. Watch how he changes his swing every time to add deception to his game. His weight of shot to the back is also immaculate, I’m having to scrape the ball out of the back corners every time. He also uses incredible soft touches into the front, leaving the ball really short.
