One of the most satisfying shots in pickleball is a good drop shot.
I’m still learning, but this was one of the best tips I picked up from a coach Marcus in Penang that immediately made a difference.
🏓 Drop Shot Tips:
• Keep your grip relaxed. Tension is the enemy of touch.
• Use a smooth, controlled swing. Don’t jab at the ball.
• Let your shoulder and body guide the shot more than your wrist.
• Aim to clear the net by just a little. High drops become attackable balls.
• Hit with a gentle upward motion to create a soft arc.
• Stay balanced and keep moving forward after your shot so you’re ready for the next ball.
• Practise consistency before trying to make the “perfect” drop.
It’s one of those shots that looks simple… until you try to do it consistently. 😅
Any other drop shot tips that helped your game? I’d love to learn.
