Simple strategy. It's called anticipation. This is what all about.

[@EnriqueHerbella]

Amazing video! 👌 I often forget to pay attention to those nuances!

I thin Mike Way, in a coaching video, calla this further to the side tee position earned by good length "poaching across the tee".

Спасибо за советы 👍

[@michelinman666]

why is it called the Egg Model?!

[@ghawatzhusten3368]

As I understood the egg represents an area oval in shape apex pointing just in front of the T. The idea is a floating T in which the T position(central to a squash game) is kind of not a fixed point but rather an area of the court surrounding the T which one uses depending on the area where their last played shot falls and also depending upon the ability of your opponent to play their response

[@michaeljoc]

I took it be a fried egg, where the yellow yolk is on the tee, but in fact you can move in to the white part and it's still the tee, e.g. in the case of the deep low length.

[@michelinman666]

​@@michaeljocha I like this take. Maybe someone will have another theory about scrambled eggs

[@squashskills]

In the context of squash, the egg model is an analogy used to explain court positioning and shot placement. Imagine a fried egg on the squash court.
👉The yolk represents the central area known as the "floating T" where players ideally position themselves.
👉The whites of the egg represent the areas on the court where players don't want to place the ball, as they are less advantageous.
👉The toast refers to the extremities of the court where players want to aim their shots to create difficult angles for their opponents.
The analogy emphasizes the importance of staying in the yolk (central area) and placing the ball strategically in the toast (extreme areas) to dominate the T and control the game.
