Introduction to Squash Rules

Answers to Rules questions - Q31

Idea by Clive Pollard

The question is :

Q31 - Player allows the ball to pass round the body, without any actual move towards turning their own body (also called 'mental turning'). Player strikes ball, which hits the opponent, who is accidentally in the way.

Your decision was

Stroke to opponent

This is 'turning', and the player should not strike the ball so that the ball hits the opponent (as the opponent did not deliberately move into the path of the ball). The player is penalised - see Rule 9.
