How to Execute a Drop Shot

The drop shot is performed in three sports: fishing, badminton and tennis. In fishing a drop shot is tying a loop with your reel and attaching the loop to fake bait and a light weight so that the bait drops underwater as opposed to floating. The method attracts more fish. The drop shot in tennis and badminton are very similar. In those sports a player will strike the ball, lifting it barely over the net, making it hard for his opponent to get to the shot, much less return it.
