Crafting the Perfect Lob Shot
Want to add a new tool to your arsenal? The lob shot can be a game-changer when executed correctly. Here’s how you can perfect your lob:
- Positioning: Ensure you have enough space behind you before attempting a lob. Ideally, you should be a few feet behind the baseline.
- Paddle Angle: Hold your paddle at a slight upward angle. This helps lift the ball high and deep into your opponent’s court.
- Body Mechanics: Use a gentle but consistent follow-through motion, similar to throwing a ball underhand.
- Practice: Try aiming for different zones in the court during practice. Consistent practice will build muscle memory and improve your accuracy.
Integrate these steps into your training, and watch your lob become a reliable shot to catch your opponents off guard!
