Call For TV Change
Radical Changes Needed On TV
Squash Player publishes a call for a radical new television
viewpoint in its latest issue, which is out now.
Steve Line, the sport’s top photographer, believes matches should be
televised through the front wall, where we can see the players’
faces and emotions, rather than the back wall, which has been the
traditional viewpoint.
Meanwhile, Editor Ian McKenzie criticises the poor response of
golf’s top male players to the Rio Olympics, saying it devalued the
Olympic medals.
The magazine also reports on Pakistan’s shock world junior men’s
team title, Nicol David’s greatest athletes’ honour and the Olympic
debate in the British Parliament.
There is news as well of squash’s independent review, the new
‘Science of Squash’ book and Laura Massaro’s yoga studies.
Maria Toorpakai’s fascinating book on how she dodged the Taliban to
play squash is reviewed extensively and Richard Eaton interviews
Australian veteran Cameron Pilley about his late arrival into the
top echelons of the game.
The magazine publishes the most important squash photograph ever
taken and also covers the dazzling end to the PSA World Series
Finals and the individual World Junior Championships.
In the extensive Workshop section Scotland’s Paul Bell features in
Coaches’ Corner and New Zealand’s Joelle King talks about her game.
The new season unfolds in Looking Forward, with Ramy Ashour and Nick
Matthew commenting on their plans, while Qatar’s Abdulla Al Tamimi
is the magazine’s player to watch.
There are also two competitions – one to win one of two Head
Graphene XT Cyano 135 rackets as used by Joelle King, the other to
win one of 10 pairs of Sorbothane Shock Stopper insoles.
All the regular sections are there as well, including Physio’s
Therapy, Drew’s Diagnosis, Mastershot, Practice Routines, Squash
Gurus, Gallery and History, while Australian Michelle Martin is the
latest addition to our Hall of Fame.
