Separate the hands

I think the term "drop his hands" is there to make sure we call a balk if while stepping off with a legal foot he is raising his hands above his head, like he would be in making a pitching motion, which would be deceiving the runner. If he steps without dropping hands, but makes no other movement upwards with his hands, then no balk. He will eventually drop his hands after he steps off.
The term I like to use is to separate the hands. That's what I will tell the young pitchers.

I think that's a little better and easier to understand than drop the hands.

Thanks
David
