Volleying
|
Volleys
are the key to playing squash at pace, pressurising your opponent
and creating time for yourself. They let you keep the middle and
get in front of your opponent. The player in front wins.
Always
look for volleying opportunities during a match. If your opponent
makes it back to the T you should look to follow up with a second
volley to get him out of position. Don’t just whack the ball
around on the volley or speculate with volley nicks. Use the
volley to dominate the T and use variation to avoid being
predictable - various paces of straight drives, crosscourts and
boasts.
Think about using
combinations and think ahead. Look to follow up your short shots
by intercepting and making opponents scramble back for dying
length volleys. If you’ve gone short try to intercept and play
long.
