    This simply the best teaching video I have ever seen. Everything is shown, detailed, and executed with highlights and points of emphasis. For instance, on baseline getting to your spot so you can move forward. Most just reach, then miss. Everything comes from good footwork as mentioned. We all do so appreciate you and your due diligence to HELP US ALL. Thank you. You are the Gold Standard

    Okay... I've watched this at least three times already. I finally noticed "hope back".πŸ˜€ I say when serving, don't hope back. Hope for the ace. But stay behind the baseline. Even as the server's partner, I make sure I'm standing a foot behind the line until the return is hit.

    Such a great video. Always good to go back and rewatch these! Technique is everything!
  • @Scott2817
    Excellent video! One point that really hit me was to make the apex of the arc over your kitchen so the ball is falling as it passes over the net. That really helped me to visualize where to aim my shot as I try to do a 3rd shot drop! Thank you for such detailed and helpful information!

    Great video. I would only add that if beginners are going to practice drops by moving backwards from the net, it’s imperative they focus on footwork and leaning forward into the drop shot or it’s easy to develop bad habits and lean back while hitting the shot. This happened to me, and it’s a hard habit to break.
