In this podcast we explore the Drop, one of the most crucial shots in pickleball! Whether you are at a beginner, intermediate, or advanced level, we cover just about everything having to do with the drop. Throughout the pod we talk about 5 major points. These are the what, why, how, when and where to drop. Keep watching/listening as we try to get very detailed with each point, maybe even too detailed at times:) That's just the picklehead in us! If you implement what we teach, we promise your pickleball game will improve. It's time to drop like a pro! Feel free to leave us a review, and we will also answer any questions you may have.
