Back to Home Written on 07-Mar-2008 by tennisSorry for the lack of activity recently on the tennis webjam! Things have been very busy in the tennis world. Just to keep you tied over, here's a little tip on the drop shot. Ensure that you keep your touch very light, absorbing the pace of the ball to reduce the speed. You should use the "chopper" grip on the drop shot to ensure you slightly slice underneath the ball for control and to allow for the open racket face to absorb some of the pace of the ball. Be careful not to open the racket face too much or you'll give your opponent a big chance to win the point!
Bonus tip: When practicing/executing the drop shot, try to make the ball bounce twice in the service box - ideally three times. Three times is an art so if you can do this consistantly, you're on to a winning shot!
