Pickleball – How Do They Do That? – 3rd Shot Drop
According to some of the best players in the game, the third shot drop shot is one of the most difficult strokes to execute properly. Too high, and it comes flying back at you. Too low and it lands on your side of the court or too far on your opponent’s side of the playing area.
As the video below explains, there are two key things to remember about this third shot…
- A Third Shot Drop shot is not a soft forehand. It is a separate and different stroke altogether!
- The appropriate technique is to have the ball arc on your side of the net.
Watch Wes Gabrielsen explain it all in the video below. Oh, one other thing. This is one shot everyone, even the very best players, need to practice.
