How to hit a topspin drop shot by The Pickleball Clinic

The Pickleball Clinic introduces the topspin drop shot as an aggressive third-shot technique in pickleball.

This shot allows players to go on the offense while hitting a third shot.

Players should ensure the paddle gets under the ball to create topspin, brushing upwards on the ball from low to high.

The technique involves hitting the ball out in front of your body, bending the knees to get under the ball, and simultaneously swinging up with the knees and arm.

It's best to hit the topspin drop cross court due to the longer distance, allowing for a faster swing and more room for the ball to drop into the kitchen.

Key Points:

• The topspin drop is an aggressive third-shot technique.

• To create topspin, the paddle must brush up from under the ball.

• Proper technique involves a combination of knee bending and arm turning.

• It's best to hit the topspin drop cross-court for more margin of error.

• The shot is most effective against a slice return or a return that bounces high.
