Drop Shot
The drop is an attacking shot that is played close to the tin with a slow speed. The shot is played delicately onto the front wall such that it follows close to the front wall. The drop also comes with different variations but the idea is essentially the same – hit a soft shot so that it dies near the front wall
- Spin Drop
- Cross-court Drop
- Fading Drop
- Back Court Drop
Position – For a correct execution ,the body should be side on with the shoulders pointing in the direction you want the ball to go, knees bend, wrist cocked, racquet head up. The ball is played in front of the leading foot with a slightly open racquet face.
Drop shot should hit the front wall first and then bounce as close to the side wall as possible.
A drop is hit when you in front of your opponent and it is a great shot to finish off the point.
To become a better squash player, apart from understanding the shots of squash, it is very important to known when the shots are to be played (this actually is the crux of the entire sport and actually comes with experience and maturity).
