drop shot

A drop shot is a strategic shot in sports like tennis and volleyball designed to catch the opponent off guard. It involves gently hitting the ball or shuttle just over the net with minimal force, causing it to fall quickly into the opponent’s court or landing zone. The goal is to surprise the opponent who is expecting a deeper or more powerful return, forcing them to quickly move forward and potentially make an error. It’s a finesse move that combines timing, precision, and deception to gain an advantage during play.
