Should you drop or drive your third shot? This episode dives into the decision-making behind one of the most critical shots in pickleball. Brodie and Tanner break down when to drop vs. drive, how pros adjust based on the situation, and what the form, grip, and targets should actually look like. Learn how to play to your team's strengths, apply pressure, and use thirds to set up points—especially in mixed doubles. Plus: hybrid shots, shake & bake timing, and Brodie’s takeaways from competing at the first PPA Challenger.
