Squash Straight Drop: Touch & Deception
Build a straight drop that uses the same preparation as a length before a soft, controlled contact. Accuracy and recovery are the priority.
Set up
Feed a comfortable ball into the front half. Mark a target close to the side wall and just above the tin.
Home practice
Use a soft ball or shadow 20 drop actions, concentrating on stable legs and a gentle finish.
Key cues
Prepare like a length.
Stay low through contact.
Keep the touch soft and recover quickly.
Progressions
Static feeds; movement feeds; then score a point only if the opponent must take the ball below net height.
