The drop shot is an offensive shot.
The shuttlecock is hit softly towards the opposite front court, between the net and the short service line.
To play this shot, the player only uses a little force to push the shuttlecock over the net.
The aim of the drop shot is to force your opponent out of their position or to change the pace of the game. This can help you to win the rally.
It can be played both with the forehand or backhand.
