My favorite part is when the baby throws out a pickleball around 6:31 lol

[@douglasmurdoch7247]

Just an observation. You say there’s two kinds of drops, topspin and backspin. But the flat, no spin drop is very common. And I’d say that’s what she’s doing, she’s hitting more of a flat drop than a topspin drop.

[@PickleballJourney]

Thanks for the comment. Technically it is possible to generate a flat drop but typically there is either topspin or backspin on the ball when you hit it because it’s hard to have a perfect angle of swing that the ball come in at. People generally swing low to high (topspin) or high to low (backspin). In this case Lauren is clearly swinging low to high and creating topspin.

@@PickleballJourney when people call a shot “flat”, the implication isn’t that there isn’t any spin on the ball. It means no spin was intentionally imparted on the ball. In the video, she’s not actively rolling the drop, which is a pretty advanced technique that many pros don’t even do. She’s just shoveling the drop from underneath. Is there technically some spin on the ball, like on all shots? Yes. But people call that drop a flat drop.
She’s hitting the middle-back of the ball with a flat paddle face. Which is good, that’s what 99% of people should be doing. But she’s not rolling and brushing up the outside of the ball, she’s “bonking” the drop, hitting it straight on, rather than brushing it and rolling it.

Great lesson!

I was worried about the baby in basket getting hit by a wild ball

[@mra2424]

You're lucky you didn't twist your ankle on that ball. She should have warned you about that ball behind you
