A drop shot is a shot in some racquet sports in which the ball (or birdie) is hit relatively softly, and lands just over and close to the net.
Famous quotes containing the words drop and/or shot:
“Of all the words mentioned in language, there is not one that I hate more than the word “right.” Is it your right that your field prospers? That you don’t drop dead this very instant? Are living and breathing your right? As far as I can see, nothing but grace and blessing fill the universe, and these worms talk about right?”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
