Intermediate Squash - Let the Ball Drop to Hit the Backhand Side

Watch the Ball, Not Your Racquet, as You Prepare to Hit a Backhand

Steve Hufford
Continue to flip the racquet all the way over, so that the backhand side of the strings faces the ceiling. Continue to watch the ball closely. Do not watch your hand or the racquet. That's where the "feel" comes from in this drill. Rivet your attention on the ball and use your touch and feel to discern the location of your racquet and the exact position of your racquet face.
