What is Length in Squash?

The quality of a drive that carries the ball deep so its second bounce dies near the back wall. 'Good length' is the foundation of squash strategy: it pins the opponent in the back corners and wins the T.

Example: Commentators repeat it endlessly: nothing works without good length.
