Never Missed a Lob After This…

Summary

Cliff Pickleball’s lob-fix short: consistent overheads/lob replies come from early tracking and getting under the ball. Late feet force arm saves. Make the first move with the feet; keep the contact simple once you’re there.

Key takeaways

  • Early track and turn
  • Feet under the ball
  • Simple high contact
  • Late feet cause most misses

Action items

  • Partner random lobs; first step cross-over emphasis
  • No swing until feet set
  • Count ‘set’ out loud before contact
  • Film footwork on missed overheads
