Master the Lob: Get Underneath and Aim Backhand
Summary
Tanner explains why most recreational lobs die: players contact behind the ball with an upward shove that never really lifts. The fix is to get completely underneath the ball so the path is truly up.
Then aim over the opponent’s backhand. Even a paddle touch from that side tends to be a weak response you can hunt.
Key takeaways
- Contact behind the ball kills the lob
- Get fully underneath so the ball goes up
- Aim over the opponent’s backhand
Action items
- Feed sitting balls and only count lobs that start with a low contact under the ball
- Play a game where every lob must target the backhand half
