For Squash Players
Thinking about trying pickleball?
I played squash for 10 years. Competitive. Fast. Brutal on the body.
Pickleball gave me the same quick hands and soft touch without destroying my knees.
Here is what I wish someone told me earlier.Why squash players love pickleball.
Your reflexes are elite. Kitchen exchanges feel slow compared to squash.
You will win hands battles immediately.
You already understand the soft game. Drops, lobs, angles, placement. You learned all of this on the squash court.
No more running into walls. Pickleball has no walls.
Your knees and lower back will thank you.Volleying feels natural. You already take the ball early. That is half of pickleball.You read angles well. Moving opponents side to side then dropping short. Same geometry, smaller court.Easier to find games.
Pickleball courts are everywhere. No need for a glass court at a private club.Family can join. Your kids or partner can learn in one session. Squash takes months.
What you will need to unlearn.Wristy flicks. Use more arm extension. Wrist flicks send the ball out.
Playing off the back wall. No back wall. Let the ball bounce or volley early.Hard low drives every shot.
Mix in lobs and drops. Height changes the game.Moving to center after every shot. Hold your position.
Pickleball doubles has zones.One session is all it takes.I am not going to teach you how to hold a racket. You already know that.I will show you what transfers from squash to pickleball, what does not, and how to win points without destroying your body.

Message me on WhatsApp to book your first session.One last thing.Ten years of squash trained my reflexes and my drops. Pickleball just gave me a new home for both.
See you on the court.Arik
