Drop Shot Basics

by Jim McLennan

Elements

• I am well inside the baseline, backswing is up and away.
• The ball enters the picture just as it bounces. I am beginning my high to low motion.
• The ball is rising into the hitting zone.
• Nearing contact, racquet well angled, balanced on the front foot, eyes on the ball,
• Follow through, remaining sideways, racquet finishes low and still angled. You can easily see how much backspin has been created.
