Some tips to improve your 2nd shot drop are: - Use a continental or modified continental grip for more control and spin. - Hit the ball with a slight backspin or underspin to make it drop faster. - Hit the ball at an angle to create more margin for error over the net. - You can hit the ball to your opponent’s backhand side or weaker side. - Vary the speed, spin, and direction of your 2nd shot drop to keep your opponents guessing.
