A very brief post just to highlight the number of professional squash players now frequently playing topspin drops from the front of the court.

It is most commonly used when the ball is glued to the side wall, making it very difficult to return under any circumstances.

When played successfully, it also comes back deadly tight to the side wall. Try it out!
