Backhand Short Rails Drill - How to Hit Perfect Backhand Short Rails in Squash

Watch the ball closely, and hit it after it bounces and descends to roughly sock height. Hit the ball when it is directly between your leading foot (right foot in this picture) and the side wall. The striker's right foot and the ball are both directly above the red-lined front edge of the service box. That positioning of the ball relative to your body makes it easy to hit the ball straight.
