Practice padel drop shots at home with a wall.
🏆
Your #1 Takeaway
How can I practice the padel drop shot technique alone?
Practice against a wall, simulating the shot from the service line area, aiming for backspin by adjusting your hand position (knuckles up for backhand, palm up for forehand) so the ball bounces short and ideally comes back towards you.
What Your Guru Thinks
This lesson from the coach provides a really practical way to work on your drop shot when you're by yourself. They show you a simple drill using a wall to simulate the shot and check if you're getting the right amount of backspin. Focusing on the technique points like hand position can really help you develop a controlled and effective drop shot. It's a great way to get a feel for the shot outside of the court.
