How to make your backhand drop shot 10x easier by PrimeTime Pickleball

Jordan Briones from PrimeTime Pickleball teaches a footwork exercise to improve your backhand third shot drop.

Jordan emphasizes the importance of proper foot positioning, recommending a perpendicular stance to the net for balance and forward movement after the shot.

He advises players to keep their eye on the ball and hit it in front of their bodies.

A unique drill involving catching the ball with a hat is shown to help players get into position early and maintain focus on the ball.

This drill increases consistency by helping players reach the optimal spot earlier and maintain balance during the shot.

Key Points:

• Proper Foot Positioning: Stand with feet perpendicular to the net for balance and to allow forward movement after the shot.

• Eye on the Ball: Keep your eye on the ball and hit it in front of your body to maintain control and lift.

• Early Positioning: Getting to the spot early increases consistency and shot quality.

• Closed Stance: A closed stance is recommended for better control during the third shot drop on the backhand side.

• Practice Drill: Use a hat to practice catching the ball in the correct position, which helps improve focus and consistency.
