Drop shot technique

This article will teach you how to play drop shots, both forehand and backhand.

What are drop shots?

Drop shots are played from your rearcourt. You hit the shuttle softly downwards to land in your opponent’s forecourt area.

Drop shots are often referred to simply as drops.

Other terms that get confused with drop shots

Sometimes people confuse drop shots with net shots. These are completely different shots. The term net drop is especially unhelpful and is best avoided.

Drop shots are also different from blocks and pushes, which are played from farther forwards and in a flat or upwards direction.

How are drop shots used in badminton?

Drop shots are used extensively in both singles and doubles. They are primarily an attacking shot.

Drop shots are usually disguised to make the opponent expect a smash or clear. A good drop shot can be very deceptive, and can cause the opponent to reach the shuttle late and play a poor lift (giving an opportunity to attack).

Drop shots are also used defensively, especially in singles, as a maintaining or get out of trouble shot.
