Fixing your backhand drop shot by Universal Rackets!

Tyler and Michelle from Universal Rackets focus on fixing the backhand drop shot.

They emphasize three crucial aspects: footwork and keeping the body low, the contact point (hitting the ball out and behind the body), and trusting the follow-through.

Tyler demonstrates the importance of turning the body and getting low to lift the ball over the net, avoiding hitting on top of the ball.

He introduces a drill where Michelle practices turning, getting under the ball, and aiming over the net, emphasizing the arc of the ball for a successful drop.

The video also covers the two-handed backhand drop, highlighting its control and topspin advantages.

They stress the importance of following through with the shot and adjusting the swing based on where the ball lands, whether it's too long or in the net.

Key Points:

• Focus on footwork, keeping the body low, and the correct contact point.

• Turn the body and get under the ball for effective backhand drops.

• Practice the two-handed backhand drop for more control and topspin.

• Follow through with the shot and adjust the swing based on ball placement.
