Abstract

The purpose of this analysis was to determine the validity of the Hunt Squash Accuracy Test to predict the success of certain game types. The exact matching of such shot during tournament match-play was contrasted with the precision of the corresponding shot form in the HSAT. The average HSAT value association was substantially high (0.95), the total precision of the shot (0.90), the average consistency of the backhand percentage (0.94) and the total association of the forehand percentage (0.77). The only unique HSAT shooting forms with a substantially high connexon were: straight drive BH (0.92) and straight volleyball BH (0.97). The majority of the styles of shot; boasts, rises and declines both displayed major similarities both on the BH and on the FH line.
