When Should You Prepare Your Swing in Squash?
You should start preparing your swing as soon as you see where the ball is going, not when it arrives.
Early preparation is one of the most important habits in squash. The moment you read the direction of the ball, turn your shoulders and take the racket back. Players who prepare late are always rushed and often produce weak or inaccurate shots. This is especially true when the ball takes a strange or unexpected bounce in the back corners.
