You have been the first person to explain why you put your leg out in front! I understood to make contact out in front but was always hitting it waist high like a drive. I reviewed videos of all my 'pop up' drops and my contact point was always above the knee! So helpful. Can't wait to drill and see if a low contact point helps.
Thank you for the great tutorials! You two are very good with pointers and explanations. Most of the time I get bored with PB video tutorials because they’re too long explanations or boring. I love the way you get to the point and just do it! Love your bloopers too!,, ❤❤❤❤
CP and AT, Thanks so much for the great content and showing us actionable drills we can work on! Can you make videos on serve, returns, and dinks too? 😊
Repentigny : Merci à vous deux. Je vais pratiquer cette façon de faire des "3rd shot drop" c'est génial.... et merci pour les bloopers 😂 c'est rafraichissant, j'adore.
great drill. I see a tutor ball machine in the background, can you please provide a video on various drills using the tutor, I'm assuming it is a tutor plus. thanks.
Such a wonderful video with insightful tips! I am curious how or if one changes anything significantly with a 3rd shot when the ball is hit much harder and with spin.
If the ball is coming harder I would recommend changing the speed of your follow through. If it's harder, you need to slow down your swing path and shorten your follow through!
Another amazing video. Especially on your forehand, you don’t seem afraid to hit the ball high rather than just try to skim over the net. Is that because you’re putting enough top spin on the ball so that when it lands, it bounces low on the other side and not as attackable anyways? When I try going well over the net, I bump it over but it bounces a little high and I get attacked a lot. Thank u Catherine!
This really depends on my position and the situation but in general yes I am putting top spin on my drops. I want to make sure I have enough net clearance cuz I really don't like missing them in the net. If it's high but I make it over at least I still have a chance!
When you moved over and were on the opposite side of Athena (when you were making the most errors), you were stepping with your right foot instead of your left. When you demonstrated it at the beginning, you said to step with your left and hit it in front of your right. So, is it best to step with your left for forehands and your right for backhands, or is there a different rule of thumb?
@@CatherineParenteauPB haha, okay. I definitely understand doing what works best for you, but let's say you are teaching someone new. Is it best to step with the opposite foot? So assuming righthandedness, left foot forward on the forehand and right foot forward on the backhand? Or do most people step forward with the same foot on both forehand and backhand?
Excellent video. Far be it from me to “critique” Catherine the Great 😊, but she didn’t seem to be following her own instruction. She was hitting off her right (back foot) and falling back on several of those drops she missed. I love her personality. So fun!
This is to get people started with the technique and drills for the third shot drop. When I drill it's a bit different and I practice shots a little differently. Its perfectly fine to critique me, maybe thats why I missed all those drops at the end 😂 Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video! ☺️
Love 💕 all the tips CP & A, glad you did not edit out failed drops 😂I’ve been working on this shot for about a year and still have not mastered the shot, meaning I can hit it 95% of the time in a game.

that was the best explanation of a 3rd shot drop at different distances I have heard yet. Great video!
Thank you for all the pointers. Catherine Parenteau is all class😊
So fortunate to have watch Catherine play in person recently. You are not only a great athlete but you bring such positive energy to the court.
really enjoy the bloopers too, at the end. thanks.
This is great! You explained the third shot drop better than anyone. And I especially love the drill. Thank you.
Great drill! Thanks for doing this for us. 😊
Bonne semaine Catherine!

Glad you like them!
I enjoyed your video and the different progressions, so I can make it more challenging for me. Thank you, Catherine and Athena.
great drill👍
Charm and talent. Merci Catherine!

Will do
Great video! My friends will be doing this drill today
Awesome!! 😊

Great primer for 3rd shot drops! Thanks!!!!
Love these instructional videos! They have definitely helped improve my game. 🔥🔥🔥
Great….you have added a new twist to drilling the third shot drop…thanks
Excellent instructional video. Love the format. Hoping for a third shot drive. Thanks
CP, thank you!
Allô Catherine, merci pour tes vidéos c’est super! Est-ce que tu vas faire des vidéos en français?
Thanks Catherine,
It would be great if you can do another video more focusing on top spin 3rd shot drop.
Noted!
Skills on Display, thanks
Thanks for watching!! ❤️
Great explanation of contact point and I love the electric ball!
great drill. I see a tutor ball machine in the background, can you please provide a video on various drills using the tutor, I'm assuming it is a tutor plus. thanks.
nice drill .. is that a continental grip she was using there?
Good video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video thanks again

You should always do what you find best for yourself! To your point though, this is probably why I was missing all those shots at the end 😂😂

Always have to keep practicing! 😁❤️
Where to aim when you do the drop?
Athena made 100% of her shots!
I need a BF practice partner 😢
Great….you have added a new twist to drilling the third shot drop…thanks
