One of the biggest decisions a squash player will have to make, is during a PAR match, at 8 all, is whether to call 9 or 10...
Now that I am in the not so youngish stage, at 8 all in a game I am usually buggered, and I know that I can pull out a game winning nick at will, I usually call short...9......remember moto, why take 2 shots when can finish in 1 !!
If you are younger, fitter, and not as gutsy as the squashgodfather, you can play for safety and call 10.
One of the benefits of going short , is that it throws the pressure back to on your opponent, especially if he has been on 8 for a while, whilst you have been on the comeback, to level at 8 all. He will be thinking, that he hasn't been able to win 1 point, let a lone 2...pressure, pressure, pressure.
Next time your at 8 all show some guts... and call short!!!
good squashing
