When I took Tennis 101 at the local junior college in 1973 the textbook by Stanford coach Dick Gould had a chapter on the "supplementary shots" -- slices, chops, drop shots, etc. But it said we shouldn't spend much time on those shots until the basic drive had been mastered. The trouble is that, after 45 years of playing tennis, the drive is a shot that I still don't feel that I have mastered. Mastery, to me, means control over pace, direction, depth, and amount of topspin. And consistency.
(By the way, a little over thirty years ago, I switched to hitting ambidextrous forehands because I came to believe that the drive was a shot that, on the backhand side, I would likely _never_ master.)

Thanks for sharing this! (And, we agree. There are so many aspects of the game to master!)

A new way of thinking about tennis for myself. Great thanks!

Such good advice. Thanks

Glad you found it helpful David!

Not convinced about using the dropshot as frequently as he described. He made it sound like it was almost the same percentage tennis as hitting a slice.

Thanks for the feedback Max. It's certainly a shot that takes a lot of practice!
