Use the drop shot with backspin to break the opponent's defensive position and change the pace, rather than primarily trying to win the point outright.
This lesson is really valuable if you want to master the drop shot. The coach explains its true purpose isn't always winning the point outright, but breaking your opponents' defensive shape. Understanding how to apply backspin is key, as it makes the ball bounce short and stay low, forcing them forward. It's a subtle but powerful shot that adds a crucial dimension to your game.
