    • 1968, Tennis-badminton-squash Guide:
      The drop volley is a delicate shot demanding natural feel. However, it may be suggested that on this shot the racket face is open, extra underspin is imparted by downward movement of the racket, and the touch is "soft."
    • 2001, Nick Bollettieri, Bollettieri's Tennis Handbook, Human Kinetics, →ISBN, page 171:
      When you find your opponent comfortably deep in the backcourt, do not forget the drop volley. The occasional drop volley forces the opponent to cover the short court and play closer to the baseline.
