The Ruthless Strategy for a Better Lob
News flash: You’re probably not lobbing enough.
Defensively, a high-arching, baseline-kissing sky-ball can bail you out of a variety of sticky situations. If nothing else, it gives you and your partner a precious extra second to regroup. But a killer offensive lob is where the magic really happens.
PPA Tour pro Eric Roddy isn’t afraid to air it out. Here are his tips for using the lob as an unexpected offensive weapon.
✅ Be sneaky: “Disguising a lob by making it initially look like a dink or a speed-up will keep your opponent guessing, or even better, will make them have no idea a lob is even coming.”
✅ Be deliberate: “If all four players are at the kitchen and the ball is coming to you, try to wait as long as possible before hitting the lob. This not only plays into deception, but it will keep your opponents on the kitchen line longer.”
✅ Be ruthless: “Find the less athletic opponent and use them as a target, aiming to hit the lob over their backhand shoulder.”
Might we also add: It’s just fun making your friends run laps around the court.
