A Pickleball Drill That Helps You Work On Your Drop Shots & Resets— The Work Up Drill
Looking for a 2 person pickleball drill that will help you improve & dial in your drop shots and resents? Then you’ll love— THE WORK UP DRILL!
The Set Up
So how you set it up is you’ll need 2 players, each across the net from each other on the same side of the court. One player (the feeder) is going to be at the kitchen line and the other player (the person who is working on transitioning to the kitchen line) is going to start behind the baseline of the court.
How It Works
One player (the feeder at the kitchen line) is going to start the drill by hitting the ball towards the baseline of the opposite side of the court (towards the other player). The person receiving the ball feed is going to hit a drop shot and proceed to work their way up through the transition zone all the way to the kitchen line. The person on the opposite side (the feeder) is doing their best to keep the other player from getting to the kitchen area.
What To Work On
For the person working up: If you’re the player who is working their way up to the kitchen line, you’re going to be working on hitting strategic drops. A strategic drop would be one that lands to the other player’s backhand or a top spin drop so the ball dips faster over the net. PS— If you don’t know how to hit a topspin drop shot, check out my YouTube video here where I break down how to topspin pickleball shots.
For the person keeping the other player back: Work on your roll volleys and aggressive “fourth” shots! The more aggressive you make your shots, the harder it is for the other player to get to the kitchen. Again, work on placement! The best place to hit the ball is at the feet of the other player!
