Question

Where should the ball bounce during a serve?

Ravenstar

Community Answer

The ball should never bounce on your side during a game. If done correctly, it will hit the other player's service box, and only theirs.

Question

What is the use of the lines on the wall?

Community Answer

The lines at utilized as a basis for where and where not you may hit the squash ball. The highest line and the subsequent lines that run along the side walls indicate where the ball is too high. The lowest line, above the tin, is the lowest point you may hit the ball. You must serve between the top and middle lines on the front wall.

Question

How can I learn to serve?

Rishi Chintamaneni

Community Answer

Only one foot has to be inside the box, so you can move as close to the lines as possible. Toss the ball up in the air and hit it at an upwards angle towards the rightmost section of the wall, and use as much force as possible. Use your back.

Question

Does the player have to hit the opposing players wall to get point? How does a player get a point?

Community Answer

To get a point in squash, the server must win the rally. You do not score after you win a rally if you did not serve that rally.
