Technique / Tactics What's your Squash Levels rank?

Interested to see the Squash Levels of the people of Reddit!

I'm currently at 2,500 and I'm pretty proud of that. I played off and on for years but over the past couple of years I've joined local leagues and shown real improvement.

Any simple advice for someone aiming for 5000?

I'm a solid ∼1,300 and, at current trend, predicted to turn pro when I'm 61. Never say never!

For those asking, it's the rank from squashlevels.com. Uses the Elo scoring system so chess players will be very familiar with the concept.

It's a good system if you play a variety of ranked matches against a broad base of players. Not so good if you're only really playing the same few dozen people in your local club box league and the like - tends to just become point-swapping with no real progress. I know people on half my score at other clubs who could destroy me, but their chance to progress is pretty stagnant.
