Make a racket Racket
Once upon a time one needed an Eastern European coach to berate and verbally pummel you into perfecting your perfect back swing. Now technology and some clever industrial design gives you the “Mana” - squash training aid by Sophie Horton. Intended as a training aid used in a common drill known as ‘ghosting’, giving the player vocal instructions during practice. Mana can help make sure you are at the top of your game and can swing both ways better than Angelina Jolie nursing her third martini.
Designer: Sophie Horton
Mana clips onto the player’s racket and calls our areas of the court for the player to run and take a fake shot. The product has three different vocal settings and three different weight variations to tailor for the needs of beginner, intermediate and advanced players.
The weights can be altered depending on the level of play.

Damn fool! This is a ’squash’ racket for ‘training’. This population needs a culling beginning with you!
The product has been well executed, however I struggle to see a strong need for such a device. Surely players are capable of carrying out these tasks mentally if they don’t have a coach. This will, no doubt, have an isolated audience but they simply won’t sell enough.
