  • We define and investigate a successful third shot drop in pickleball using a numerical model of pickleball ball aerodynamics. Our overall objective is to investigate the ranges of initial speeds, angles and spins that result in a successful third shot drop. We conclude that the initial speed must be in the range $10.9~ms^{-1}$ to $13~ms^{-1}$ for down-the-line shots and $13.3~ ms^{-1}$ to $16~ms^{-1}$ for cross-court shots. The initial angle must be in the range $15.5$ degrees to $22.5$ degrees for down-the-line shots and $12.5$ degrees to $18$ degrees for cross-court shots. We conclude that the effects of spin on the third shot drop are of secondary importance. We believe these results could be useful as a guide to coaches and players wanting to develop this crucial aspect of the game of pickleball.
