@KH-ks7si 3 года назад

I have worked on forehand drop shots today for an hour or so and I got really good, and im dropping it right at the front of the net consistently, hopefully it translates matches

@iaindewar 10 лет назад

Have you done a video on how to return a drop shot?

@chisserv 6 лет назад

Great stuff, Ian! Another excellent lesson!

@EssentialTennis 6 лет назад

Thanks so much, Chisserv. Which part was most helpful to you? -Ian

@chisserv 6 лет назад

Because you've identified why sliced drop shots don't work (difficult to be consistent, & this is my experience), and that the solution is to be very relaxed in grip, etc. This is a simple concept, but looked really effective. I'll practise 200x with a ball machine, but I now reckon I've got a new weapon to take on my opponents who spend their days on the baseline! thank you!

@scche36 4 года назад

Great explanation for the two methods.

@EssentialTennis 4 года назад

Thank you, Hainan!

@gaylejones5398 3 года назад

I agree with everything said. Question about your feet. Do you keep your feet moving forward or your movement forward towards the net on a drop shot?

@grhurley 9 лет назад

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@EssentialTennis 9 лет назад

Xtal_StarrWeaver You're welcome :-)

@nicolasmartinez8377 10 лет назад

Hello Ian I'm a high school tennis player who is in a road of playing college tennis and I'm a doubles player but as a doubles player I would like to know basic drills at the net to perform.

@AceRad100 10 лет назад

Hi Ian(nice tip btw) Could you please make a video about closed stance forehand VS open stance forehand. My coaches keep repeating me that the forehand has to be with a closed stace(I hit with open).

@claudioprado389 6 лет назад

Ian could you tell me please what about the Australian grip, and how can I find it? Thanks a lot.

@gillv7659 10 лет назад

that's Ok if close to the net, say if the position is further back, then more forward effort is required to make it clear the net.

@munindrakumardeka4094 7 лет назад

as u tought i hit it but sometimes d ball doesn't go and it stucks in d net when i try 2 give some more spin. plz advice.

@surf1it 7 лет назад

I'm going to go practice this w my daughter feeding each other balls. I never practice this shot, but try to do it in games......duh!!! 90% are short in the net. I think it's because I'm to worried about chopping at it and creating backspin. Thanks Ian for all your hard work and great videos. If your ever in FL. and want to learn to surf I'll have you up and riding first day, free lesson for ya bro!

@EssentialTennis 7 лет назад

Appreciate that offer very much, Stephen! I've never tried it, would love to. -Ian

@-butterfly-594 4 года назад

If this helps and if you'd still like this info, I like to focus more on the apex of the ball's curve, where the highest point will be.If you keep it high then you get a much safer shot, and if you have soft hands and are good at applying backspin while keeping it light, you can make it just as deadly as a low drop shot.

@connorism69 5 лет назад

On the backhand side I find it easier to not be so stiff at the elbow, but to kind of punch forward at the ball, still with a modest rotation at the shoulder (a lesser movement relative to what you're doing). The punching motion with extension at the elbow naturally moves the racquet-face upward and imparts backspin on the ball, but making contact during the punching motion means a lot of the pace on the ball is very easily absorbed. This way you hardly even have to loosen your grip. What do you think of punching at the ball, especially when you're closer to the net (e.g., mid-court)?

@patientv 3 года назад

Ian, how does someone hit the short angle close to the net drop shot? The one that looks like its coming off the head of the racket, while that head is facing down, touching the ground, it's SUPER sharp. It's a fitness shot...it surprises the opponent forces the scramble... I need that shot! Can we get a video on that, please?

@aregon51 5 лет назад

How to hit a running drop shot, for both backhand and forhand. Also need the angle of placement ??

@aidankeefe6892 8 лет назад

One of the shots I use for tennis is this sort of thing for forehand it spins back and when it hits the court it rolls off almost no bounce or and stay with in two feet at the very most so it hit almost with a parallel landing on the ground the opponent in my experience as a high school varsity player the opponent will not be able to hit it with nearly as much power for the easy shot to the other side

@sivasubramanianvivekananda1656 5 лет назад

Which one would be better and more effective on the opponent. Slice or drop shot

@PrinceofTennis89 10 лет назад

Hey Ian, very nice tip which makes sense would you also suggest that when we do a drop shot, our momentum is still moving forward toward the net? if that makes sense? i guess in other words, should we be stepping into the drop shot?

@EssentialTennis 10 лет назад

Well, the majority of the time that it makes tactical sense to hit a drop shot you'll be moving forward inside the baseline anyway. Trying to hit a drop shot from a deep position in the court or while retreating is definitely recommended in general, but that doesn't mean it can't still be successful. So, do you nee to "step into the shot"? No, definitely not. But will you typically be moving forward anyway? Very often, yes.

@hamakantaborah5655 4 года назад

Great

@EssentialTennis 4 года назад

Thanks for watching, Hama!

@MartinJohnZ 6 лет назад

What's the music at the end?

@uncledaveswildride 3 года назад

Hey Ian! are you standing in about the right place, strategically, to hit a drop? is that about the best depth to practice consistency?

@shuxiongbao2535 10 лет назад

I have a new question concerning open stance & hip pain. I recently switched from closed stance to open stance after learning that's the proper stance to play modern forehand. Is that the price to pay or am I doing it (open stance forehand) wrong?

@PonchoNugen 10 лет назад

Open stance is the last option, always try to move your feet (many little step) at all time so you can turned sideway (much less chances for hip pain).

@miguelpessanha 6 лет назад

Ian which grip would you use for a forehand dropshot? Would you stick to your main one or should you change to continental?

@EssentialTennis 6 лет назад

Continental is definitely the way to go! Eastern forehand is possible, but definitely not as easy as continental. Anything past eastern forehand, forget about it. -Ian

@miguelpessanha 6 лет назад

Thanks Ian. Which one does Federer use? Thanks

@TigerWoodard 2 года назад

Well then could you please explain to me how Federer is the master at somehow spinning the living crap out of his drop shots and making his opponent suffer? Great video, God bless you sir

@mariooss 9 лет назад

Hi Ian, i have a technical question. What strings and tension are you using? Cheers.

@EssentialTennis 9 лет назад

Marius Drangu As of right now I'm using all Big Banger 16 gauge at 57lbs.

@guyfierimtwi 6 лет назад

Drop shot then lob so they have to run

@joefarah 10 лет назад

Ian, Wouldn't you say that playing with a full bed of copoly strings makes these touch shots pretty challenging. I feel like the ball jumps off the stringbed too fast on touch shots so getting the ball to land short is a challenge for me. That probably makes your tip even more essential to hitting a good dropper in order to control that jump off the stringbed.

@dkangan 10 лет назад

If you don't mind me jumping in, your quesiton makes me wonder first how firmly you are gripping the racket on those shots and second how much swing you are giving it. It is very easy to put too much behind the ball, especially when moving forward. But if the grip is too firm, you won't take enough pace off the ball.

@user-be5qg7mr1s Год назад

No, you can do anything with full poly if not more. I dropshot all the time on both sides effectively

@maryarwood5862 6 лет назад

Ehin... Wow I am embarrassed to say that I am a 3.5 level player that's been playing two years, I love hitting drop shots and hit some good ones but probably win 30 percent of points that I try it on due to swinging so aggressively and hitting to long or out of the side lines. I will try softning up and simplifying my stroke like you said. Kinda like a finesse feel volley right? I'll try it next time I get to play and let everyone know how it works. Thanks alot for your tip!!!!!!

@EssentialTennis 6 лет назад

Very similar feel and concept to the volley, yes! Highly recommend getting some practice time with a ball machine so you can freely experiment. Do you have access to a ball machine?

@drnoorsharif4408 5 лет назад

can you describe how to do a lob

@harrolddjani 5 лет назад

My lobs either stays on my side of the court or out.

@robbiesheiniszmiri1610 9 лет назад

ian what is the diference between drop shot and a slice

@EssentialTennis 9 лет назад

Robbie Sheinis Zmiri The main differences are in the direction of swing and angle of the strings at contact. On a drop shot the racquet should fall quite a bit more from high to low compared to a slice, and the strings should be quite a bit more open than on a slice.

@robbiesheiniszmiri1610 9 лет назад

***** thank you very much you are a pro

@DrLin-ct8tj 8 лет назад

Lol, the remote is in his pocket

@bimoketileng6240 6 лет назад

Ask Mr Federer how to do it

@buckyphillips6732 10 месяцев назад

Drop Shot: Because smashing the ball straight into the net is just too mainstream. Let's aim for new lows, people! 🤷‍♂️🎾

@tennis_derevnja 2 года назад

@michaelshackelford1069 9 лет назад

But I want to chop hard like Roger does :(. Actually, I think this is exactly what I need at this stage of my game. Thank you.

@EssentialTennis 9 лет назад

Michael Shackelford Chopping is a lot of fun when it works out just right, but everything has to be perfect! Glad you enjoyed the lesson :-)

@dkangan 9 лет назад

Michael the naked eye is deceiving you. Roger Federer is applying incredible touch -- taking speed off the ball, catching it on his racket, and flinging it softly toward the target. The words 'hard' and 'drop shot' do not belong in the same paragraph.
