Head to https://vuori.yt.link/9OaSVRb Struggle with inconsistent third shot drops even though you’re putting in effort to improve your drop shot? In this pickleball lesson, you’ll watch a real lesson with players who are fighting to hit a reliable third shot drop. They were struggling to strike their drop shots consistently and couldn’t generate the spin they needed no matter how much effort they put into their drop shot technique. The breakthrough came when they stopped trying to control the drop shot and started doing something much simpler: feeling the weight of the paddle and allowing their legs to do the work. Almost immediately, their drop shot became more consistent, their spin improved, and the drop started landing softly in the net without them consciously trying to place it perfectly. In this third shot drop lesson you’ll learn: How to hit a consistent third shot drop without trying harder Why consciously trying to control your drop placement can ruin your shot How to feel the weight of the paddle during your drop stroke Why letting your legs drive the drop can improve your consistency How to stop releasing too early on your drop shot Why your body can organize itself around a smooth drop motion How forehand and backhand drops should feel differently Why giving up control can actually give you more control over your drop How to create better rhythm and tempo naturally on your drop How to stay present instead of thinking about drop positioning How to add spin without losing your strike on the drop Why better drop striking creates consistency without extra effort One of the biggest changes in players’ drops came when they stopped asking, “How do I place this drop perfectly?” Instead, their attention moved onto what their legs and paddle were doing in real time. Could they feel their legs engaging? Could they feel the paddle falling softly? Could they allow their body to react naturally to create the drop? As soon as that happened, many of the third shot drop mechanics we were looking for started appearing naturally. This is why feeling your legs and paddle can be so valuable. Rather than consciously controlling your wrists, arms and positioning, you give your body something meaningful to respond to. The result can be a drop shot that feels freer, more rhythmical and — as these players discovered — considerably more consistent and effortless. ⚡Try the Pickleball Drills App Free https://pbdrills.com How I went from 3.5 to 5.0 in less than 6 months: https://www.skool.com/pickleball-playbook-9343 0:00 Intro 1:10 How to hit a forehand 3rd shot drop 1:50 How to hit a backhand 3rd shot drop 2:15 Why players are inconsistent with their drop 4:25 How players can get tons of spin on their drop 5:35 Why players need to stop hitting their drops in the kitchen 6:30 How to guarantee a consistent drop 7:45 How to use your legs to hit a consistent drop 9:05 How to get insane topspin on your drop 10:15 How to get a crazy consistent 3rd shot drop #Austinhardy #pickleballplaybook #Pickleballtips #pickleballinstruction If you're new here, I'm Austin Hardy — 5.0+ rated, PPR-certified pickleball coach, and founder of Pickleball Playbook.
