Tips for executing an effective padel drop shot.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How do I hit an effective padel drop shot?
An effective drop shot is hit softly with backspin, ideally when the opponent is deep in the court, aiming for the ball to bounce low and stay near the net, acting as a change of pace or potential winner.

What Your Guru Thinks

Understanding the drop shot is key for changing pace and disrupting your opponents. The coach explains when to use it, focusing on surprising the opponent when they are far back in the court. They also give a useful tip about racket preparation, emphasizing keeping the knuckles up for a backhand drop shot and using the palm for the forehand version. This simple adjustment can help you get the right feel for the shot.
