Introduction to Squash Rules

Answers to Rules questions - Q33

Idea by Clive Pollard

The question is :

Q33 - Player turns through 360 degrees, with the ball moving around the player's body, before the player attempts to hit the ball. Player strikes the ball, which hits the opponent, who is accidentally in the way.

Your decision was

Stroke to opponent

This is correct - well done !!

Reason


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.
