Drop Shot

A drop shot in tennis is tapping the ball just over the net so that the opponent is unable to run fast enough to retrieve it. For many years the 1940s player Bobby Riggs was considered to have had the greatest drop shot of all time, off both his forehand and his backhand.A good drop shot requires great touch. The ball should bounce low and near the net, sometimes using underspin (or backspin). Often if the backspin is great enough, the bounce of the ball will be shorter, and in some extreme cases will even cause the ball to bounce back towards the net. Sidespin may also be put on the ball so it kicks sideways upon contact with the ground. A bad drop shot, however, can be chased down easily by the opponent who will then have the advantage. The secret is having "soft hands." Making your grip slack at the moment of impact will make the racquet absorb more force and make the ball less powerful and less likely to bounce.
