Mastering the Third Shot Drop

Mastering the Third Shot Drop

The third shot drop is a crucial skill in pickleball, shifting you from the baseline to the net. Here's how to perfect it:

1. Get Into Position: Face the net with an athletic stance, knees slightly bent, paddle in front.
2. Focus on Contact: Aim to hit the ball just before its peak. Soft touch is key.
3. Follow Through: Follow through with a smooth, controlled motion. Avoid chopping or flicking the wrist.
4. Practice with Purpose: Hit 10 third shot drops in a row, aiming for the kitchen. Consistency is crucial.

Implement these tips in your next practice session to see your game elevate.
