Learn 3rd Shot Drop in Slow Motion!

what's the most important Sean Pickwell I would say the third shot drops well let's look at it in super slow motion right now pickleball lovers don't forget to have a good day it's time for Innovation here at the pickleball Pirates I know what you want to do you want to get your third shot more consistent and I'm going to show you how to do it right now when I'm coaching my clients and we're working on that third shot drop I put a broom in the middle of the net so it's like six feet high right that way they can clear the net by at least two feet and in a tournament when it's windy they don't have to worry this is Senior Pro Joe Perez watch him move forward as he hits that drop it's Dynamic steps he's not running because if you run it's gonna get hit at your feet and you're going to be in trouble now Joe is coming from tennis right look at his third shot drop as a tennis player Mark napatovich on the other hand is coming from badminton that's Mark write that right on cue is this a good drop is this a good pickleball drop is he moving forward I don't think so not the best form take a look at this one I think this is a really good drop he's balanced he can move forward I'm feeding him balls at this point but he's ready to move move forward at the net is this a good drop this is Keith Valentine the original pickleball pirate I like it now he is coming from volleyball if you see tennis players they drop like this right pickleball players drop like this what's right what's wrong I would say there's no right answer I do have more consistency dropping like this I am a tennis player I do drop like this sometimes if it's out wide but keeping that elbow close to your body may make you more consistent it just may that tip right that will make this video has changed my game completely this was my tennis drop it's not bad I still do it when I'm on the run right if it's out wide I have to do it however if I have a chance to really do this I do it because I get as much spin the new paddles are made to get spin that way and I think I'm more consistent I know when you drop we want to go forward right you see a lot of people drop on that back foot or falling back however we want to be moving forward pushing off that right foot going directly vertically to the kitchen which is where we win most games and pickleball I think is this a good drop by Mark nepotovich is this a good third shot drop no no he's leaning back Mark what the heck are you doing man you're ruining the video you see this a lot with three and three five players you really do here's another view he should be moving forward a little more it will make it more consistent he'll be moving towards the kitchen which is the point of pickleball don't make the same mistake of all the slain pickleball players be your own person another mistake a lot of three five players make is they have a loose wrist it's a wet noodle and it really flies it's not going to be very consistent if you see 3-0 and 3-5 players that running through that drops when this happens the arm gets behind behind the body and you have to come through is this a good third shot drop looks pretty good setup look good I like it I like it because Mark could move forward after that he's balanced a tip I would recommend on the third shot drop to make yourself more consistent is to hit the ball on the downbound so not at the peak it reached its peak it's moving down hit it then and hit the bottom of the ball especially if they slice this is Keith is this a good third shot drop no no he's running through it oh gosh when you do this you can probably hit the ball in the net or out plus they're gonna hit the ball at your feet Keith I know you're upset but everyone hits the ball at your feet in pickleball right so don't be running and off balance hit a third shot drop like this and you become more consistent epic ball so we saw mock drop in super slow motion how is he getting so much Thompson because he's going like this right his wrist is behind his arm almost and as he hits it it comes through so if that puts a lot of topspin with those carbon fiber paddles it really does [Music] the backhand drop is targeted especially if you're playing three five tournaments so it's important this is a really good example of a backhand push third shot drop wrist should be locked it's not like the slice returned that's totally different it's a fallacy if you're slicing that backhand drop don't come really fast across it like you're returning the backhand slicer turn it's a different shot it's more of a consistent shot that wrist is locked is this a good third shot drop no he cut under it way too much right way too much paddle face way too open how about this no he stopped too abruptly it has to be more of a full motion now Mark is coming from badminton so it is somewhat different than if you're coming from tennis or other sports so keep this in mind keep in mind one shot I've been working on is coming over that backhand drop with one hand or two hands but if you put topspin on it it might be tougher to attack with those new carbon fiber paddles think of an inverted backhand topspin dank or backhand topspin Dink and I'm hitting that from the Baseline it's that simple I'm dinking from the Baseline topspin dink here's another good view who took these videos lovers may I suggest this video it was very good maybe not as good as the last one I would have to check my calendar but don't forget to have a good day leave comments and um I'm just trying to keep the SD click but it's not a big deal it's not a big deal have a good day don't forget to have a good day
