Prince of Tennis, Captain Tezuka's “Drop Shot”

Captain Tezuka's “Drop Shot”:

A drop shot is a shot where the ball is hit “lightly,” so as to only just go over and land near the net. It works especially well if given a precise amount of backspin (also called “underspin,” this is a hit that makes the ball spin backward), which makes the ball bounce lower. Shots like this generally work best when the opponent is too deep in the court to retrieve the ball.
