How do you do a proper drop shot. I know that you have to let the ball go off the end of the table and hit it before it hits the ground. Whenever i try to do a drop shot it always hits the under the table or at the edges. When i get the ball on the table i make it easy for my opponent to do a smash

Hi Nabeel,

A drop shot is more referred to for a stoke where you put the ball short on your opponents side like we show you in our lesson on the Drop Shot off a Lob.

I think what you are referring to is dealing with the ball that drops just off the end of the table.  We show you this in our Ask the Coach video response to Below the Table Level.  Take a look at this one and let me know if it helps.
