Tip for the day.
Speaker:
00:00:22
If you are asking the question of when do I hit a drop shot, here are two things that
Speaker:
00:00:27
I look for.
Speaker:
00:00:28
Number one, when you're getting a shot on your opponent and you're at the baseline and
Speaker:
00:00:35
you know, maybe you make it, you miss it, you look up.
Speaker:
00:00:39
If you, once you finish the shot, the one thing I really get on the map later is about
Speaker:
00:00:43
more than anything is dropping the head like they made the worst mistake of their life
Speaker:
00:00:47
and they could have made a mistake.
Speaker:
00:00:49
But you need to look up and see where your opponent was when you went to hit that aggressive
Speaker:
00:00:53
shot.
Speaker:
00:00:54
If they are really deep in the court, they're back and they're trying to try it down
Speaker:
00:00:57
on your ball by some more time.
Speaker:
00:00:59
All you need to do is hit a short ball, not even a great drop shot.
Speaker:
00:01:02
Just a short ball.
Speaker:
00:01:03
All of a sudden gets them up toward the baseline, makes your deep ball now.
Speaker:
00:01:08
It doesn't have to be great.
Speaker:
00:01:09
Just be solid and it will be a great shot on its own because of the lack of time they
Speaker:
00:01:13
have to run it down.
Speaker:
00:01:14
Hope this tip helps you.
Speaker:
00:01:16
No wind to hit a drop shot from now on.
Speaker:
00:01:18
