It appears someone has created a simple, free online squash video game called FOG Squash. It’s very simplistic and I’m a bit embarrassed to say I played it all the way through to the end of the game. Still, I couldn’t help but post this. After all, someone went to the trouble of making a […]
Best Squash News Sources
Here are some great squash news sites from around the world. For a while I was posting news links here on Squash Source, but after a few months of doing this, I’ve decided I’m not adding much value beyond what these other great sites are already doing, so I’m going to stop aggregating squash news […]
Why Blogging Is Bad for Your Squash Game
At the end of last season, I was playing in our local squash league finals, and I had a chance to clinch the win for our team. Instead, I lost 3-0 to Peter W., his team became league champions, and I watched on enviously as his team basked in all the glory and riches (heh). […]
What shoes was Ramy Ashour using at El Gouna?
I’ve been putting together a little research report detailing the rackets and shoes used by the top 10 men’s PSA players. I was looking at a picture from SquashSite trying to figure out what shoes Ramy Ashour wears. Here’s a cropped closeup of SquashSite’s picture: Looks like he’s taped over all the branded parts of […]
Play on
PSA Squash TV has posted a few clips on their YouTube channel in a series called “So You Think You Can Ref?” The video below is one example. In this series, squash fans view a tricky refereeing situation like this one and then have the opportunity to (tactfully) weigh in with their opinion on the […]
Squash Courts Map Project
Update: I never made much of an impact with this project, so I’ve discontinued it to focus on writing about squash equipment. As I write this blog, I come across news articles about squash clubs all over the world. The other day I read about a new court being built in Sierra Leone. Crazy. I […]
The most significant problem with the current squash rules is that the PLAYERS have the power to stop play
Watch this rally between Jonathon Power and Peter Nicol: What a shame that this amazing point ends in an argument. There’s an incredible rally, full of athleticism, followed by a muffled voice from offscreen, followed by an all-out tantrum. People who’ve played the game for years probably understand what’s going on here, but for newcomers, […]
Whose Pace Are You Playing?
As I was watching my teammate play in our most recent league match, I saw he was playing a much more up-tempo game than he usually does. He was hitting harder, and striking the ball lower on the front wall than usual. It seemed like he was playing more to his opponent’s preferred pace. My […]
Bouncing Back from a Tough Squash Loss
Yesterday I lost a league match that I should have won. Our team lost the overall match as a result. It was one of those matches where I always felt like I was winning — even when I was down two games to one. I won the fourth game easily, but the fifth game was […]
Squash League Win!
After many years of playing in squash leagues in Philadelphia and New York, I’m proud to say I finally am part of a winning league team! I think between my years in both cities, my team lost in the finals of the playoffs about 5 times. This year, we managed to win it all. Our […]
