Today we're first looking at the tennis drop shot techniques both on the forehand and backhand side and how they compare to the usual forehand and backhand slice strokes.
You'll see the drop shot analyzed from the side and backview and I'll share with you my main technical guidelines of this special stroke.
And since the drop shot is really all about feel, meaning you have to judge very accurately with how much force and arc and backspin you need to play the ball so that it lands just behind the baseline, you also need to practice that feel.
So I've included two very simple drills that you can use while practicing with your partner or even a ball machine.
In the near future I will also share with you the tactical side of the drop shot, namely when should you play it and when you really shouldn't, and also how to defend against it.

Thank you for demonstrating with a slice / dropshot motion...also the slightly open raquet face is super important

Your practice buddy may not be good managing his distance to the ball, but his forehand top spin stroke is a thing of beauty.

@kankaann5772 5 жыл бұрын

nice instruction as always but may I ask what is the best grip for drop shot? I can make drop shot only with my forehand using underspin and from right to left angles only plus need to change grip to continental. maybe I need to practice more to hit more targets.

@mylesg7278 5 жыл бұрын

Still use continental/chopper grip as per a slice shot. Tomas explains the difference with the stroke but that's the same.

@feeltennis 5 жыл бұрын

You should use continental grip. The wrist gets into an awkward position if you play a drop shot with a forehand grip. Of course, with massive amount of practice and good feel you can make some drop shots like that too. Otherwise we need to change the grip quickly from the forehand to the continental if you decide to play a drop shot.

When doing slice backhand. Should I use the continental grip or the forehand grip ?

Continental, for sure

@@najaryassine7850 No worries, as Tomaz highlighted above, if you are careful about the racquet face and weight transfer you should be good.

Thanks for your videos Thomas, they are very useful, you could support us by making a video of how to run (technique, body and racket position) from the bottom of the court to drop shots?, I have a daughter who competes in the ITF circuit and it is a topic that we want her to improve,Thank you!

@feeltennis 5 жыл бұрын

Keep the racket in front of you and just run, like you want to catch the ball with hand. You can do drills like that where you throw a short ball and have the player catch it with the hand. Then they will realize it's the most natural way to reach the ball without any instruction. Then in the same way run for the ball with the racket and then just push it deep. Of course the player must very quickly judge whether they will barely get to the ball and will have to push it or whether they will get there in time and be able to play a normal topspin stroke. In that case they just play the ball with a short backswing which will likely happen automatically.
