Should You Use Targets When Practising Squash?

YES, practising with targets is one of the most effective ways to improve accuracy in squash.

For example, place a small target such as a racket or a ruler against the side wall and just behind the service box and aim for it for about 3 minutes, then swap sides. Having a specific target turns vague practice into purposeful practice and gives you immediate feedback on whether each shot was good or not. Start with a large target and reduce it as you improve. Targets work well for drives, drops, and serve practice.
