Hi Emil,

We have a lesson on the drop shot.  Of course it is not exactly like Waldner.  One thing that Waldner does better than almost anyone else is that he has his hand extremely relaxed. This absorbs the speed of the ball.  He also puts a little sidespin on the ball which helps the ball to stop quicker ont he other side.

Take a look at our lesson for some tips on the Drop Shot off a Lob and the Drop Shot off a Chop.  Waldner also makes a drop shot off topspin.  Relaxed and sidespin are the keys.
