The following video on youtube has some incredible examples of great squash technique:
This video is from 2/5/2016 and was taken on the glass court at Bates College after a collegiate match. The top two Bates men players were playing a friendly game. Video shows 120fps of part of a single point.
The slow motion has excellent examples of forehands, backhands, volleys, corner retrieval, footwork and lunging all in incredible detail. With one lefty and one righty you can see great technical skill from multiple perspectives. It is magical!
Players are Ahmed Abdel Khalek, former 2x CSA National Champion and Ahmed Hatata, former CSA All American.
