shots rarely result in an outright winner. The ball is just too lively.
These shots are worth employing occasionally, however, to keep your
opponent cross-legged, off balance, and on the run.

The most effective corner shots are hit with fairly good pace. Your aim
should be low and into the side wall to a point much closer to the front
wall than the spot a Squash Racquets player employs. The reason for
hitting a corner shot in this "in and out" manner is to keep the livelier
ball out of the center of the court (see figs. 18 [How not to hit corner
shot.] & 19 [How to hit corner shot.]).

Miscellaneous: Generally it is best when hitting any Squash Tennis shot
to "hold" your shot as long as you can, thus reducing the chances that
your opponent can anticipate where you are going to put the ball and
start moving to position even prior to your actually hitting.

Whenever possible, shield the ball with your body so that your opponent
cannot see the direction you have hit until the very last possible
instant. There is nothing in the Playing Rules against blocking your
opponent's view, as long as you do not interfere with his swing or with
his getting into the proper position.

Remember that the key to your shot making is mixing up your strokes and
keeping the ball angled away from the middle of the court. A ball that
ends up in the center will probably result in your losing the point or,
at best, having to leave the "T" and go on the defensive. The exception,
of course, is the widely employed "gut ball" that you hit into the front
wall with great speed and at such a height that it rebounds right into
your opponent's body (see fig. 20 [Ball aimed to rebound off front wall
and into opponent.]).
