Re: TSR SquashOmg I swear you make stuff up? When did I say squash is all about power? I said i doubt you would hit the ball harder than a professional. Please do not tell me things about squash that I already know...://(Original post by py0alb)
The difference between an amateur and a professional squash player is not how hard they can hit it. There's a lot more to the game than just bashing the **** into the ball.
I can also hit a cricket ball harder than many professional cricketers. Is that really so hard to believe? -

Re: TSR SquashI just find it strange that you think the difference between professional and amateur players is how hard they can hit the ball.(Original post by Hazz1)

I said I doubt you could hit the ball harder than a professional.....
Not in any way did I say you need 'to hit a ball hard to become a professional' -

Re: TSR SquashDo you not see how saying you "doubt how an amateur could possibly hit the ball harder than a professional" is exactly equivalent to saying that "the difference between professional and amateur players is how hard they can hit the ball"?(Original post by Hazz1)

There is no difference between those statements. They are identical. -

Re: TSR SquashNot really because the second statement isnt true? Hence I didn't say it..(Original post by py0alb)

. Im clearly stating I doubt YOU or any amateur could hit the ball harder than a professional.. Very unlikely you have the technique to hit a ball like a pro, let alone hit the ball hard.. (Hope you don't take offence to that)
Anyway, I don't have the right to say what I say because I obviously havent seen you play before, therefore, I cba with this talk... But there is a difference between them two statements.Last edited by Hazz1; 07-03-2012 at 09:39. -

Re: TSR SquashThis is the statement I disagree with. I'm sure there are many, many amateurs who can hit a squash ball harder than a whole host of professionals.(Original post by Hazz1)

Re: TSR SquashIm sorry maybe the way im phrasing it is wrong, when i talk about pro's, im looking at top 10 or 15 in the world?(Original post by py0alb)

Re: TSR Squashoh, well I was talking about all professional squash players - but still - I bet there are at least a handful of amateurs who hit the ball as hard as a top 15 player.(Original post by Hazz1)

Re: TSR SquashThey're okay racquets, not the best that Dunlop have produced in the last few years. I have the aerogel pro GT which was the racquet Dunlop released prior to this and would highly recommend that. They're back on sale but unfortunately they're about £58. So basically I don't think it's the best racquet to go and buy ATM, there are better options.

Re: TSR SquashMay I ask you to suggest something below £50?(Original post by Hazz1)

Re: TSR SquashMay I ask what makes you say that?(Original post by UserInvalid)
I prefer head racquets, from my personal experience I say they are the best racquets, but some people may have different views. -

Re: TSR SquashBefore I was a fan of dunlop, until when my dunlop racquets easily started to break, due to strong and powerful shots. I also tried wilson racquets they also broked easily.(Original post by Mr Bee)
May I ask what makes you say that?
Later on my brother was reccomended by someone to use head racquets, actually he bought from him in cheaper price, and that person who sold the racquet was close a relative of jansher khan (well known squash player), I also trained under him for some months.
That racquet lasted more then 5 years. I got myself thinking how is that possible, until when I bought one racquet for myself, it lasted for long time. Until now I am using racquets which come under the same brand which is head.
Well it is based on my experience, some people my favour for other racquets. -

Re: TSR SquashI had a good game yesterday, played a friendly against the guy who is winning the league above me. He beat me 3-2 in the end, but I felt like it could have gone either way. He was surprised to hear I had only been playing 4 months.
