&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Sr. José Pimenta.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Em segundo informar que o "RA Squash" não está ligado a nenhum clube nem associação sendo que o seu surgimento teve apenas como&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt; objectivo o de vir a contribuir, de alguma forma, para o desenvolvimento da modalidade no nosso pais.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Espero assim que ao longo desta página (ainda no seu ínicio...e como tal com muitas limitações) possa encontrar informações de interesse desde dicas, conselhos, visualização de "apanhados" de jogos de topo, etc. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Bem Vindo ao "RA Squash"!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;color:#ff99ff;"&gt;Welcome to RA Squashdesigns! First of all I would like to tell you all about my passion about the sport and to give my public "thank you" to a great name of the Squash in Portugal: Mr. José Pimenta. Second, to say that "RA Squash" is not connected to any movement, club or association and therefore the only objective of this page is to give some contribution to the sport in a generally way. Here you can find some squash tips, videos, etc.&lt;/span&gt;

It is harder for beginners for a couple of reasons. Firstly, because of a lower skill level, it is harder to do. Secondly, because beginners don’t get the rubber ball anywhere near as warm as advanced players, the ball doesn’t bounce out of the back as far.
You want to try and get under the ball by making sure that you bend a lot at the knees, and aim very high on the front wall. Make sure you have a full follow through. If you feel you can’t hit down the wall, hit it high and hard into the side wall, to make sure it reaches the front.
Good players sometimes slip their hand 5 – 10 cm up the grip so that you can get you racket behind the ball on particularly tight shots. This makes the ‘lever’ (your racket) a lot easier to ‘flick’ the ball down the wall.
If it is super tight, try one of these two alternatives. Firstly, you can basically just ‘scoop’ the ball to the front by hitting with almost no backswing, and a big follow through. This won't get the ball to a good length, but it will get the ball to the front, keeping you in the rally.
The other alternative is to hit the ball high and hard on to the back wall (generally a bit of a ‘flick’ with not much backswing will do the trick). You are then a least still in the rally.
But of course the best thing is to chop the ball off with a volley before the ball goes to the back&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8963254-109940386841702797?l=rasquashdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rasquashdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/109940386841702797/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8963254&amp;postID=109940386841702797' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8963254/posts/default/109940386841702797'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8963254/posts/default/109940386841702797'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rasquashdesigns.blogspot.com/2002/04/getting-ball-out-of-back-corners.html' title='Getting the Ball out of the Back Corners'/><author><name>Squashista</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11228127726180178176</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8963254.post-110053201815015565</id><published>2001-07-03T16:20:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-11-15T16:22:21.133+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Links!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/73/2225/640/squashclub%20final%20web%202.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/73/2225/320/squashclub%20final%20web%202.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
