A drop shot, usually used after a clear (a far shot to the back of the court), is where the player gently taps the birdie over the net so it makes a player either.... a) hit the birdie high up into the air (a good drop shot is one that you can't smash). b)sprint forwards to try and reach.

Twist your elbow to the right or left, depending upon whether your right or left handed (a righty twists elbow to right, left to left). Turn the racquet so that the strings are pointed upwards, but slightly at an angle. The birdie will hit off it gently, and with proper tilt will drop right over the net.

Drop shots are used mostly when your opponent(s) is farther into the court(exception for doubles)and you know that he/she cannot receive it, and even if he does, it would likely be a bad return.Which is best countered with a net kill. When you play a drop shot on your opponent, make sure it is very tight to the net, if not, it may make your opponent(s) to make a net kill. But of course, the one of the main things you should never forget in Badminton is deception, make it look like a clear or a smash, then at the last moment, perform a drop shot, deceiving your opponent.

Hope it helps

A dropshot is a very gentle stroke in which a shuttle is struck with a forehand, backhand or round the head action to direct it towards the top of the net, so that after crossing the net, it falls in the opponent's court very close to the net.

When you've pushed your opponent back with a clear for example, a drop shot can be used then. Your drop shot (hopefully) will land close to the net, forcing your opponent to run forward.
