Does anybody here play Squash or has played it before?

It is my favorite sport along with soccer. I train 2 hour every day and play for my nation team.

I didn't know that there are international competitions in squash....

That's really cool, Juve1717!

Is there a world cup or something like that?

What is squash?

 

[Elnur_E65]

It's this sport you play in a closed room. Similar to tennis- you use a smaller racket to hit the ball, but you hit it against the wall. And then the second player also hits it the same way.

It's really fun to play.

 

[The Arif]

Thanx. Never heard about it though.

 

[Elnur_E65]

The consept is similar to arkanoid game, you know.

You hit the ball, anticipating where it will go, because all angles in the room you play it are right angles

but 3 times more tiring than tennis

 

[Elnur_E65]

I would doubt that. To me tennis is more tiring. Matches may last hours!

Played a bit of squash with the girlfriend. Had to stop cause she got extremely mad when she lost a threw her racket at the floor. It's fun and a good workout, took a couple of tries to get hang of the technique, but guess that's what to expect.

Of course tennis is more tiring if you play for much longer. You have to compare the sports over the same amount of time. I would say squash is more tiring as the ball comes at you faster and it's moer intense.

Malaysia used to good in Squash with Nicol Ann David and Ong Beng Hee, but he turned into crap and Nicol can't play well anymore as her breast grew along with her age

 

[juve1717]

Squash gets you tired a lot faster than tennis, thats why matches last half as a tennis match.
