Technique for hitting a drop shot
Description: USPTA Master Professional Jim Parker describes and demonstrates the technique of the drop shot. Check out the video to remember some key points.
Tip:
The drop shot is probably one of the least practiced shots among players. However, everyone loves that moment when they win points from it. This particular shot falls under what we call “touch shots.” It requires a good amount of disguise, racquet skills, underspin and placement.
Spend time with your players practicing this shot. Having a good disguised drop shot in their repertoire will pay big dividends! Mix in slices and volleys to help players develop a well-rounded set of racquet skills.
