What is Stroke in Squash?

A point awarded to the obstructed player for serious interference — typically when the opponent blocked a ball that could have been hit directly to the front wall, or failed to clear after their shot. The harshest of the three interference outcomes.

Example: Caught on the wrong side of his opponent, he conceded a stroke at 9-9.
