Practice Like a Pro: How to Drill Third Shot Drops the Way Pros Do (From a Pro Drilling Session)

Are you having trouble transferring your drilling into game play? One reason might be that you’re not drilling the right way. In this video we take you inside a pro clinic so you can see how pros drill their third shot drops, complete with coaching from pro pickleball coach Dominic Catalano. Dom and Susannah lead a progression of three drops drills adding more pressure and realistic game play in each progression. By adding pressure these drills are more likely to transfer into actual game play. As always, if you have any questions, comment below and we’ll answer as quickly as possible. If you like this video please use the super chat to show support and get the quickest response from our pro coaches (the heart button below each video).
