Mastering Fast and Accurate Drop Shots

The drop shot can be a game-changer, putting your opponent on the defensive and opening up the court for you. Here's how to perfect it:

• Grip and Stance: Use a continental grip and maintain a low, balanced stance.
• Preparation: Keep your paddle high, eyes on the ball, and prepare early to give yourself time.
• Contact Point: Hit the ball just below net height, using a gentle, controlled motion.
• Follow Through: Use a soft hand and minimal follow-through; the goal is precision, not power.
• Practice Drills: Set up cones just over the net and aim to land your drop shots inside them. Repeat until you can consistently hit your targets.

Remember, consistency comes with practice. Keep working on it and watch your control and accuracy improve!
