Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about Squash.

What is the difference between a let and a stroke in squash?
A let is a replay of the rally when interference occurs but the player could have made a good return. A stroke is awarded when the interference prevents a winning shot, giving the point directly to the obstructed player.
What is the tin in squash?
The tin is a metal strip at the bottom of the front wall. If the ball hits the tin, it is considered out, and the rally is lost. The tin is 0.43 meters (17 inches) high.
What is point-a-rally (PAR) scoring in squash?
PAR scoring means a point is scored on every rally, regardless of who served. The modern game uses PAR to 11 points, best of 5 games. The older English scoring only awarded points to the server.
What are the different squash ball types?
Squash balls come in different speeds: Pro (double yellow dot, slowest), Competition (single yellow dot), Club (red dot, faster), and Beginner (blue dot, fastest). Slower balls require more skill to generate rallies.
What is the T-position in squash?
The T is the intersection of the lines on the court floor, near the center. Controlling the T is crucial because it provides the best position to reach all corners of the court quickly.
What is a boast in squash?
A boast is a shot that hits a side wall before reaching the front wall. It is used to change the direction of the ball and can be defensive or attacking depending on the angle and power.
What is the difference between hardball and softball squash?
Softball squash uses a slower, bouncier ball on a standard 21-foot-wide court. Hardball squash uses a faster, harder ball on a narrower 18.5-foot court. Softball is the international standard.
How does the serve work in squash?
The server must stand in the service box with at least one foot inside. The ball must hit the front wall above the service line and land in the opposite back quarter. The server continues serving until they lose a rally.
What is a drop shot in squash?
A drop shot is a soft shot that hits the front wall just above the tin and lands close to the front wall, making it difficult for the opponent to reach. It is used to finish a rally when the opponent is deep in the court.
What are the major squash tournaments?
Major tournaments include the World Squash Championships, British Open, Tournament of Champions, US Open, and PSA World Tour events. The Professional Squash Association (PSA) organizes the world tour.
