An overhead drop shot is played downwards like a smash, but instead of hitting hard towards the mid-court, the shot is played with less power and at a steeper angle so it lands in the fore-court area - generally around the service line.
In singles you should aim to play a drop shot more slowly and more steeply so that it lands as far forward as possible, increasing the distance your opponent has to move.
In doubles the drop shot can be played faster as it is more important to get the shuttlecock below the net before the opponent can attack it - in doubles the drop shot usually lands nearer the service line.
