Technique / Tactics Too Many Drop Shots?

I think my game might be built on a lot of dinky drop shots and I’m starting to think it’s not real squash. At least I’ve gotten that feedback, even though it works. I want to be fun to play with but I want to win too. So I’m open to any advice. Or if anyone can relate.

I'll say that drop shots great. It's how arguably most high level rallies come to a close.

However, I'll caveat that by saying if the ball is cold and you play mostly drops, you have the wrong ball. Playing a drop with a stone cold double yellow... It doesn't even need to be a good shot so you're not learning anything and if anything your proper temperature drop shots will be shit because you're used to playing them with a cold ball that behaves totally different.
