Application for squash players who are doing ghosting session for their training. The application will randomly choose the direction you should move for your next movement in your ghosting session. You have the ability to configure many parameters of your ghosting session: - The number of movement per set. - The number of sets in your session. - The speed of your movement. - The rest time between each set. - The profile of the opponent you are playing (affecting the probability of where the next movement will be). No need to look at your device while you are ghosting, the direction you need to move will be played on the device, you simply need headphone or connect your device to a speaker loud enough to hear it on the squash court. My focus was to develop a very simple application that is straight forward to use. Squash ghosting is part of every serious squash training where the player start from the center of the court and move to one of the corner and swing the racket like he's playing a shot with a imaginary ball, then the player get back to the center of the court (the "T" position). This is a great way to improve footwork, fitness and speed for any serious player.

SmartGhost is a ghosting trainer for squash players. Pick a drill pack, set your phone on the bench, and move to the cues. Ghosting, shadow-practicing your court movement without a ball, is the fastest way to sharpen footwork when you don't have a partner or a coach on court. Doing it well means hitting the right corners with the right timing. SmartGhost handles the timing so you can focus on moving properly and building clean patterns into muscle memory. HOW IT WORKS Choose a coach's drill pack, pick your patterns, and start. For each pattern the app shows the correct movement and calls the corner with a directional audio cue (left ear for left, right ear for right) so you react and move on demand, just like in a real rally. Wear headphones and go. FEATURES - Guided drills: court-mapped patterns timed to real pro movement - Panning audio cues: left/right cues tell you which corner to take - Drill composer: build your own workouts, sequence patterns, set intervals, replay favorites - Movement styles: pick your coach; different pros, different movement and timing - Record and share: save a drill and send it to your coach or a friend for feedback BUILT WITH REAL COACHES Movement content is demonstrated by professionals, including LJ Anjema, former PSA World No. 9 and ten-time Dutch national champion, and performance coach Ahad Raza. Designed for iPhone. Free to download, with more coach packs on the way.
