Stop Chopping Your 3rd Shot Drop! Do this instead

Prince of Pickleball explains that missing the third shot often comes from chopping down with the elbow. Fix it by rocking the shoulder through contact for a smoother path and body-controlled pace instead of a choppy arm path.

Action items:

• Shadow the drop with shoulder rock, not elbow chop
• Feed 20 thirds focusing on a smooth shoulder path
• Note whether long misses drop when the chop disappears
