Frequently Asked Questions
➤ The BetterPractice app has its own webpage with its own FAQ section.
Equipment & Space Requirements
Besides a standard squash racket and suitable balls (See my Use The Right Ball guide), no special equipment is required. However, having a few extra balls, with one held in your non-racket hand to keep it warm) can help maintain momentum, and using A4 paper targets is occasionally recommended.
I recommend booking a 45-minute slot for each 30-40 minute routine. This gives you time to perform the full routine properly and even have some time left over at the end, to repeat any drills that you feel focus on your weaknesses.
Yes, I suppose you could, but obviously it's better to use a proper squash court.
Skill Level & Progression
The practice plans are uniquely structured around themed routines and focused drills that are designed to improve specific aspects of your game. Each routine comes with a detailed PDF guide sheet, an explainer video, and access to the BetterPractice app, ensuring you get the most out of every practice session.
I don't advise using the Club Players Sets. They are designed for players who play competitive club squash. However, some beginners have purchased Set One FastFocus and reported that they benefited from it. Sometime in 2025, I will be releasing a Beginners set, but I have no release date for that.
Yes, especially if you had previous experience. The Club Players: Set 1 can help you rebuild your skills methodically. Focus on quality over quantity as you regain your touch.
Most players notice improvements in their ball control within 2-3 weeks of consistent practice (2-3 sessions per week). However, significant improvements typically take 6-8 weeks of regular practice.
Between 30 to 40 minutes. But one great thing about the routines' structure is you can repeat or jump sections to suit your needs, ambitions and time available.
Honestly, that's a tough one to answer. Ideally between 5 and 10 times per month.
Yes, players should feel free to adapt and adjust their training to suit THEIR needs.
Each routine is themed and generally is focused on certain aspects of ball control.
Programme Implementation
For optimal results, I recommend 1-2 solo practice sessions per week. This frequency allows for skill development while preventing burnout.
I recommend performing each routine twice before moving onto the next one. Rotate through all 12 routines to build a broad foundation. Once you identify specific areas needing improvement, you can focus more on those particular routines.
Absolutely! While the routines are designed to be comprehensive, feel free to extend sections that address your weaknesses or modify drills to target specific aspects of your game.
Technical Integration
The explainer videos are hosted on YouTube as unlisted. It is possible to use other websites and services to download, but I don't offer that as part of the package.
The Discord invitation link is included in your welcome email and on the PDF sheet. Discord can be accessed via a browser or an app. An account is necessary to access a Discord server. In the Discord server, you can ask questions, share your experiences, and get direct advice from Phillip and other Solo Routines users.
Using Solo Routines with Others
For coaching purposes, you should purchase the Commercial license, which permits sharing the routines with students in your facility.
While designed as solo routines, many drills can be adapted for partner practice. The Discord community is a great place to ask about partner adaptations for specific routines.
A Commercial license allows you to post the routine on your noticeboard and make a reasonable number of photocopies to distribute WITHIN your facility. Consider posting a "Routine of the Month" on your noticeboard and organising designated solo practice sessions where members can work on the routines together but individually.
BetterPractice App
Yes, the BetterPractice app is user-friendly and designed to guide you through each routine with visual and audio cues.
Payment, Licensing & Access
Major credit cards and other secure payment methods are accepted through the Stripe payment gateway.
Yes, I'm not going to send the squash police to your court. Just remember, I am an individual trying to make a living from squash - be kind.
Your access to the explainer videos doesn't expire - you'll have ongoing access to all videos included with your purchased set.
Yes, any refinements or updates to plans you've purchased will be provided to you at no additional cost.
You Have No More Excuses.
Some Real Testimonials From Real Players
"Phillip's solo sessions have been a real game-changer for me. They have provided a great way to build my ball control & swing skills, and expand my range of shots beyond my previous repertoire. They have enabled me to plot a path of gradual, consistent improvement in my match performance, & also reduce injury niggles such as the stiff racket arm elbow that used to bother me, but now far less." T.O, Singapore - May 2024
If you have benefitted from using my Solo Routines, I would love to hear from you and hopefully publish a short testimonial.
➤ Have a plan. Hopefully, you are about to sign up for my Solo Routines programme, so that's taken care of. But it is also a good idea to read and understand the routine BEFORE you go onto the court. I'm not saying memorise it, but at least have read it first.
➤ Always heat up properly before you start drilling. By taking the solo drilling seriously you will maximise your time and train yourself to always focus on court.
➤ Hold a spare ball of the same dot colour and condition as the ball you are using in your non-hitting hand. This will ensure minimum disruption if you break a ball during the routine.
➤ Using targets is a great way to focus your mind. But not everybody benefits from them. Some players find that they become worried when they don't hit them. USe them if they feel right for you.
➤ Use which ever routine feels suitable for you that training session. You do not have to use the same one for the whole month.
➤ I would recommend a minimum of one solo training session per week and up to four, but you will need to adjust that to suit your needs and objectives.
➤ Many solo drills can be performed with a partner sharing the court, so I recommend finding a training partner to share the cost of the court. Just don't be tempted to play games instead.
