Should You Volley the Service Return in Squash?

YES, volleying the service return is generally a good idea if you can do it comfortably.

It reduces your opponent's recovery time, keeps them under pressure, and prevents the ball from dying in the back corner leaving you with a difficult shot.

Aim to volley to a good length (aim high on the front wall) or play a volley drop if your opponent hasn't recovered to the T.

Beginners should focus on consistency first. A reliable straight return to a good length is always better than an ambitious volley that gives the server an easy shot.
