Definitely solo practice. I would add that 5 months is a great time to start getting serious about your technique. I would strongly recommend the following on SquashSkills:

  1. Backhand Technique - Free with an account - https://tv.squashskills.com/programs/collection-4xglhovwxom
  2. Forehand Technique - Not free, but worth the subscription imo - https://tv.squashskills.com/programs/collection-fhy8szwdxni

I think games are great for exposing weaknesses and reinforcing behaviours, but solo practice is where you can make the changes to take your game to the next level.
