  The one thing that can cause wrist problems when playing squash is having too much experience playing badminton. The weight of a badminton racquet is about a quarter that of a squash racquet; and the badminton bird weighs a miniscule fraction of a squash ball.

    Generally, using your arm is fine, but being able to occassionally use your wrist can add to your deception abilities.

If the other player has already committed to moving to deal with the shot implied by the arm swing, this can catch them totally off guard.
