The “Drop & Charge” is an advanced tactic that combines a third-shot drop with a controlled push to the net, allowing you to apply pressure without overcommitting. This move is especially effective against players who struggle to handle low, soft shots near the kitchen line.
To execute, aim a precise third-shot drop just over the net, allowing enough time for it to bounce in your opponent’s kitchen. As soon as you hit the drop, advance toward the net with a steady pace, prepared for a follow-up. This approach keeps you close enough to challenge any reply, but stable enough to avoid being caught off guard by a fast return.
By mastering the Drop & Charge, you can create an aggressive yet controlled offense, forcing your opponents into low-percentage shots while you close in for the advantage.
