Aha! I started at 13. Coaches are both too, female. What club you at mate?(Original post by Tukmyster)
Yea that's what we do.
3 years ago I was in the juniors class - the oldest one..and I was the worst player as that's when I started playing (at 16) then a year later I moved to the adults and slowly I got better. Now Im pretty much the best person there atm apart from the coach who always beats me. It's ridiculous...she always plays tricks that I fall for.

They've been slowly trying to introduce racketball here but it's not catching on haha. I've tried it but I prefer squash. We have 4 normal squash courts here. No glass, but you can go upstairs and look into the courts to see matches and things. I'm playing squash tomorrow with some friends I haven't seen in a long time. They're not great but hey it'll be good catching up(Original post by Mr Bee)
I am at a locol sports association centre that supports Squash, Racketball, a gym, Cricket and a bar. Great little place with 2 courts and a glass backed court

Haha! Yeah, we have a glass with rows of seats basically, then you can look down the other 2 courts and there are lockers, vending machines and a free water dispenser. There's also huge changing rooms and a gym. It's a great set out to be fair :P
The thing that lets me down in play is I often rush all of my decisions or wait to long, eg opponent serves. I wait and I lose it in the back corner :\. I lose so many points like this

Haha, yea..if you can volley it on a serve you should go for it. I hate the back corner, it's pretty difficult getting the ball out. I'm getting better but I still lose points from the back corners. My coach always gets them out.. it's like what!!!! How did you do that. My racket usually hits the wall so I miss the ball lol.(Original post by Mr Bee)

Re: TSR SquashMine is (wait for it) a co op bag for life. It holds all the things I need to take, including my racket, and see no need to spend money buying a new one! If I started playing competitive matches and needed a spare racket at all times then maybe I could justify it, but I think I would still manage perfectly comfortably. The only advantage it would give me would be looking more professional

Haha! That's rather quite amusing :P I think I am just going to get a cheap 3R one. It's becoming hard to carry everything :P(Original post by tface)
