A word about the various illustrations showing the squash tennis court and various shots: The solid * is you and your position and the O is your opponent's. The direction of flight of the ball is indicated by arrows and the "x" indicates when and where the ball bounces on the floor. "F" indicates forehand, "B" backhand, and the "S" is the service. In all descriptions it is assumed the player is right-handed. (Illustrated by Richard Kaiser) [Transcriber's Note: See the HTML version of this e-book for illustrations. Figure captions have been transferred to the text in brackets.] WHO CAN PLAY? Anyone who enjoys playing Tennis, Squash Racquets, Platform Tennis, or any racquet game and has good reflexes will love Squash Tennis. Where it lacks the endurance and subtlety that Squash Racquets calls for, it offers the exhilaration inherent in powerfully hit strokes, split-second racquet work, and graceful, seemingly unhurried footwork. The ball "comes to you" more often, but the challenge is to figure out the wider angles and exactly where the lightning fast green ball will eventually end up after rebounding off of as many as five walls. The game of Squash Tennis has something to offer players of all ages. |
