Hi PingSkills, just for sure, how to drop shot on each spin ? (topspin, backspin, sidespin, no spin) so that the ball will not long and will be short near the net please for the answer :D thank you very much ^^

Hi Frendy,

It is not a good idea to try a drop shot off a topspin ball.  Waldner may be able to do it but it is not something that you should attempt.  It will just lead to errors or losing confidence.  You can play a drop shot off a higher slower ball as we show you in our lesson on the Drop Shot off a Lob or the Drop Shot off a Chop.

So, what strokes that i can drop shot besides lob and chop and also, if they put backspin, sidespin or no spin on the lob (or any strokes that can be drop shot) what kind of drop shot should i do ?

This is something you can't learn unless you do it and try it.  You need to get on the table and do.
