Coaching Corner: Return of Cut

Ever wanted to know how to return cut like John Reynolds and Seb Cooley? CLICK HERE to find out how...

John Reynolds has produced a video about the return of cut in Eton Fives, probably the most important and difficult part of the game.

The video examines cut-return techniques. It breaks them down into four main approaches, each one demonstrated by current Kinnaird champion Seb Cooley. Every cut-return style is filmed from two angles, then slowed down and illustrated with examples from the semi-finals and finals of recent Kinnaird Cups. Featured players are Seb Cooley, Tom Dunbar, Pete Dunbar, James Toop, Matthew Wiseman, George Campbell and Doug Foster.

John said: \"The cut can be a very difficult to return. It's frustrating repeatedly to be cut down, no matter how experienced players are. I hope this video will allow more players to enjoy this game of ours.\"
