@hamletics_pickleball: 🎯 3rd Shot Drive + 5th Shot Drop Drill 🔁 Mastering this transition combo sharpens your offensive and soft game — a must for adapting mid-rally when your 3rd shot drive doesn't end the point. 💥 Why it matters: Not every 3rd shot drive will result in a winner or pop-up. Practicing the 5th shot drop helps you get to the kitchen, stay calm under pressure, and regain control (especially against opponents who neutralize drives).  🛠 Drill Setup: 1️⃣Use a dink master board to drive the ball at. The dink master board is angled flat to simulate a realistic, quality block from your opponent. 2️⃣Hit a 3rd shot drive with intention — aim low and firm. 3️⃣As the ball returns, prep early and transition into a soft, controlled 5th shot drop. As you improve with consistency, start to integrate placement and reading when to move to the kitchen based on the quality of your drop.  ✅ Great solo drill to train adaptability, shot selection, and smooth transitions from offense to soft play.  #pickleball #pickleballdrills #pickleballfitness #pickleballtiktok #pickleballcoach #traintoplay #courtready
