Squash 2 Player Drills: Drop Volley Forehand & Backhand Drive

Video Transcript

"On this segment we are going to show you how it looks from another angle so I want you to take note of how Gary turns and gets the racket ready, steps into the ball and hits it back to me and then notice how I open the face of the racquet and loft it back so he can hit it back again. So let's see how we do on this. That's good, it is a nice easy pace and we can keep it in play. If you want to up the pace a little bit let's see what we can do. You've always got to have your racquet ready. Watch how Gary steps into the ball. This also prepares you on my end on how to handle a lot of loose balls. We are going to do the backhand volley and Gary is going to hit a backhand drive to me so this is a good angle to see how Gary prepares the racquet, turns the shoulder and steps into the ball and it is also going to be good to watch how I keep my racquet up and I volley the ball gently by just opening the face and putting it back on the wall. So look at how Gary just turns and sits the ball pretty effortlessly straight and I just keep the racquet open and it really doesn't take much work to get the ball back so I have developed my dropped volley and Gary develops his drive and it is quite a work out too. So this drill is very valuable to perfect your backhand volley drop and your backhand drive and your forehand drop and your forehand drive so work it every time you practice and you'll see great results."
