Have you ever wondered why professionals never seem to be working hard on the court. Court Movement Getting around the squash court is what this game is all about. Many squash players have made their trademark by covering the court like a blanket. Good footwork will help in this evasive pursuit and will also ensure that no energy is wasted in doing so. Hitting Position Your ability to hit the ball is dependant on a number of factors, technical skill, your position when striking the ball and the pressure you're under while striking the ball.
Footwork affects two of the three.
I mentioned earlier that you should be comfortable, use a comfort index to evaluate your movement and your stroke. After you strike the ball, ask yourself on a scale of 1 to 10 how comfortable you felt. If that's too difficult try to maintain your balance after you strike the ball. If you can't it could be related to your footwork. No article on footwork would be complete without suggesting a few tips and exercises to help you improve.
