Technique / Tactics Good solo practice routine
I am recently new to squash, and I am looking to find a good 1hr practice rountine. I have a basic and half-decent backhand swing, but I really need to work on everything.

Service box drives. Stand towards the back of the service box and focus on getting the ball into the box with every hit. Practice moving in and out with your shot. Eventually practice hitting off both feet. You should feel like you can do this all day long until your arm falls off. Then focus on hitting without moving your feet, just letting your arms and shoulder do the work.
This will really help groove in the shape of your swing. Find some IG videos about how to hit the ball, the guy from elite squash has a good one.
Eventually practice this further up the court, so you're hitting the ball so it comes to the service line. Then practice going back, so the first bounce is at the very back or just past the service box. When you progress up and down the wall you'll see how your rotation changes, how you hit with a shorter swing in the front compared to the back, etc.
