A shot that barely clears the net and dies quickly as the result of backspin imparted to it. The drop shot is usually hit from a position close to the net, since, being the most delicate of shots, it's easier to execute safely from there. It can be hit either off a bounce or as a volley, the latter being a true skill shot. Drop shots should be made unexpectedly and must be executed well, otherwise they simply open the door for the other player to scurry and reach an easy, soft ball and murder it. If a drop shot isn't an outright, uncontested winner, it's likely to be a loser.
