-- [转帖]英语网球-放小球（Drop shot）
A lot of times the pros (and many of us) will use the drop shot as a move of desperation. Maybe we are being out rallied from the baseline and have lost some confidence, or maybe we get tired and want the point to be over quickly. Either way, I do not recommend that you use the drop shot as a desperate resource. Rather, use the drop shot as a smart and offensive shot in which you know will result in turning the point into your point to win. In most cases, using the drop shot as a desperate resource will cause you to hit a poor drop shot from a lousy position and you will most likely not win the point.
许多时候职业选手把放小球作为绝望的一击，有时底线相持出于下风丢失信心，有时感觉力不从心期望尽快结束这一分，不管出于哪种情形，我不建议你把放小球当作绝望一击，而是一种聪明的具有攻击性的击球方式，要让场上势态变得有利你赢得这一分.大多情况下，你低落的心态会导致你在一个糟糕的位置上放出低质量的小球，然后丢掉这一分.
You always want to be in a favorable position to hit a drop shot. You never want to attempt to hit a drop shot when you are well behind the baseline. This means the ball has a longer distance to travel before it crosses the net, allowing your opponent more time to react and get to the ball. The best position to hit a drop shot is inside the baseline.
你当然期望自己在一个很舒服的位置上放出一记小球，那么当你身处底线之后较远位置时千万不要尝试去放小球，因为这意味着球在过网之前有着较长的飞行距离，你的对手将会有足够的时间作出反应并接回来球.最佳放小球的位置应该在底线以内.
One of the biggest weapons you can have when you are going to hit a drop shot is the element of surprise. Anytime you telegraph (let your opponent see what you are going to hit) the drop shot you could be in deep trouble. If your opponent sees that you are going to hit a drop shot they might run sooner than you expect. If they get there in time while the ball is still high enough they might have a good shot to hit a winner or to take control of the point. To keep from telegraphing your shot, you need to bring the racquet back like you would normally to make it look like you are going to hit a ground stroke. The longer you can make your shot look like a regular ground stroke the more off guard you will catch your opponent. The slice ground stroke lends itself beautifully to the drop shot. There is almost no difference in the stroke until you hit the ball.
放小球做到出其不意将使得你在场上多一件进攻利器，如果让你的对手过早洞察你的意图将使得你的放小球陷入麻烦之中，对手将以超过你想象的速度赶向网前，如果他们足够及时并赶在小球处于较高位置时回打来球将很容易打出制胜分或者占据主动.为了防止过早暴露你的小球意图，你应该象正常击打落地球一样向后引拍.这种看起来象准备正反手击球的感觉保持得越长你的对手就越容易放松警惕.打切削球的准备动作更有助于击出完美的小球，因为在拍面接触球之前切削和放小球几乎没有区别.
The drop shot seems like such a simple shot, but can be very tricky to hit and hit at the right time in the point. Let’s take a look at the where, when, why, what & who’s of the drop shot.
放小球看起来是如此简单，但是击打起来并不容易，在时机把握上是需要些技巧的，让我们一起来看看到底应该在哪里/何时/为何/对谁来放小球呢.
What is a good drop shot?

3. A good drop shot is one in which the ball is on it’s way down when it crosses the net.
4. A good drop shot is one your opponent does not expect.

Where is a good place to hit the drop shot?
1. In the service box furthest away from your opponent. Always hit to one side or the other, never down the middle. Hitting to one side will give your opponent a longer distance to run and opens the court up for you.
场上哪个区域适合放小球？
1.在发球线以内尽量远离你对手的位置.放小球的目标区域尽量靠近边线，而不是中路.因为这样会让对手有更长的奔跑距离以及给你空出的更大击打区域.

1. When your opponent stands well behind the baseline to return your shots.
2. When you drag your opponent well off of the court deep to one side or the other.
3. When you are standing on or inside of the baseline. Avoid hitting drop shots when you are standing behind the baseline. This gives your opponent more time to react and makes it a much tougher shot to execute!
4. When your opponent is not expecting it.
5. When you are hitting into the wind.
6. When the balls are getting old.
什么时候是放小球的好时机？
1.当对手站位在底线后较远位置时.
2.当对手被你调离场地边线外较深的位置时.
3.当你在底线上或底线以内的位置时.避免在底线后放出小球，这样会给你对手足够时间作出反应从而让后面球的处理变得困难.
4.出乎对手意料时放小球.
5.当你逆风时.
6.当球打旧了时.
Who do I hit the drop shot against?
1. Players who do not run fast
