Squash Attacking Volley Drop

Take a loose ball early with a volley drop that keeps the opponent moving forward. Start with a controlled feed and a large target; do not force the shot from a poor position.

Set up

Partner feeds a loose mid-court ball. Volley into a marked front-court target, then recover to cover the reply.
