3. AreaChase
AreaChase will integrate fun and competition into your training session along with the speed and precision seen in the previous two Area games.
AreaChase is match with an opponent who has their own colour coded areas to target. Each player has to hit the highlighted area of his color, this then moves to different locations across the wall after each hit.
Dodge and swivel around your opponent as you both take aim at your targets. This training module can be quite intense, imagine it like a normal squash match flus an extra task. Losing a ball will result in a voice granting your opponent to serve again.
It is a question of efficiency. Training could never be tracked and optimised this easily and the statistics on your smartphone are more than valuable of any pro player.
