An effective padel drop shot requires a compact, one-tempo motion emphasizing significant slice (80-90%), finishing the swing, taking the ball in front, and using body weight forward from a position closer to the net.
This lesson with coach Dani and Colin is very insightful for polishing your drop shot. It's not just about hitting the ball soft; the coach explains the crucial elements like generating slice and using a compact, continuous motion. Understanding when and where on the court to use the shot effectively is also key. Pay attention to the coach's feedback on finishing the swing and using your body weight.
