Squash Terminology: The Nick
"The Nick" is a term commonly used among squash players. Although not everyone completely understands what is meant by it.
"The Nick" is the intersection of the floor and any sidewall. If the ball hits this 'crack' it will immeadietely roll parallel to the floor and the rally will be over. This is the only kill shot in Squash that lets you finish a rally in one shot. It is the most difficult shot to hit with consistency. Understand that if you miss the nick, then the ball will bounce up right back towards you resulting in a stroke. So do not attempt the nick shot if you are close to the T. Best to try it if you are close to one of the sidewalls and then you can aim for the opposite corner nick.
To practice this shot, extend the line where the floor and sidewall intersect to behind the front wall. Aim for that line and as low to the tin as possible. If the ball is sitting up higher than your waist level with a lot of air around it, then you can attempt this shot. The closer you are to front wall the better.

WSF - A Doubles Finals - Club Championships
Tomorrow Night June 10/11 is the A Doubles Finals at 6:00pm. The Defending Champions Justin Warnock/Nik Dimitrijevic will be going up against the upstarts of Mark Eugeni/Paul Gebrael. This promises to be a great match so, come out tomorrow night and watch the match. Drink Specials will be available during the match.
On a side note I checked the WSF's security camera the other day by the doubles court and discovered the truth behind who really broke the door. Watch the video and you will clearly see Paul "PG" Gebrael go through the glass.
