With potential implications for mechanical systems, study reveals physics of the 'nick shot' in squash
In squash, the "nick shot" is an emphatic, point-ending play in which a player strikes a ball that ricochets near the bottom of the wall and rolls flat along the floor instead of bouncing, leaving an ...
