In Squash can you hit the ball against the back wall, onto the side wall and end up above line on front wall??

Question

On hitting the ball back in a game of squash, does it matter that the ball goes straight back to the front wall or is it allowed to touch the back wall and side walls before going to the front above the bottom base line. At no stage did the ball touch the ground!

Answer 1

It has to hit the front wall at least once above the bottom line. you can bounce it off any wall, back or sides but it has to hit the front wall no matter what.Must bounce only once b4 the player hits it. trust me, play 3times a week. Great game. Play late at night for a knock out sleep.

Answer 2

Nope. It doesn't matter how many walls you hit (with exception to the serve - if during the serve you hit both walls at the same time - right smack in the corner - it is not good and is a fault.)

Otherwise, you can hit as many walls as you like front, back side as long as it gets to the front wall eventually and does not touch the floor between the time you hit it and the time it hits the front wall.

Happy squashing! :)

P.S. A ball that hits a line is out of bounds.

Answer 3

Yes you can hit the back wall as long as it was in between the 2 lines on the back wall and its allowed to hit the sides BUT Not the floor and aslong as its above the base line ( line on bottom of the front wall) its a valide shot

Answer 4

You can boast it off as many walls as you like as long as its got the power to reach to front wall above the base line. If it does not reach the front wall its a foul shot

Answer 5

It is allowed to hit any part of any walls below the red line, and can bounce of as many walls as you are able to make it. Only restriction is that is stays in court, (if it is an open top court of course) and that it can only bounce once of the floor before the opponent hits it.

Answer 6

must hit the front wall at least once.

Answer 7

No.
