Good video. However, for the Third Shot Dink Crosscourt to the Deuce Court, I would suggest hitting the ball near the Center Line so that the shot is to the Opponent's Backhand. Likewise, I suggest hitting a Third Shot Dink to the Player on the Opponent's Team that is trying to Advance to the Non-Volley Zone after their Return of Serve. Specifically, if I am Serving to the Deuce Court, I want my Third Shot Dink to be to near the the Center of the Court, in the Deuce Court, to the Advancing Player's Backhand. Likewise, if I am hitting my Third Shot and the Serve was from the Ad Court, I want to hit my Third Shot Dink to be to the Ad Court Sideline, so that the Advancing Player has to hit a Backhand on their 4th Shot. Players frequently pop this shot up, providing the opportunity for an easy putaway!!! Lastly, if I DO hit a Third Shot Dink to the Deuce Court, I need to be prepared to defend against an Around The Post, "ATP," Shot. Balls hit wide to the Deuce Court Sideline provide an opportunity for the Advancing Player to hit an "ATP." Additionally, be prepared for an ATP from the Ad Court if you are playing a n Advanced Player.
The editing of these shots is puzzling. They show a closeup of the serve, so we can see the technique and footwork of that shot, but then widen out to show the whole court and stay there, and at least show the affect of the dropshot hitting in the kitchen. However, I think they should be on the same opening closer shot then the server makes the 3rd shot, showing the footwork and technique of the shot instead of only focusing on the results in the wide shot.
Great drill and fun effects 🙂
🙌 working hard on perfecting the drop!
awesome thanks
Interesting idea.

Hey thanks for sharing! We'll keep that in mind for next time.
