      The best way to rerurn a lob is to hit a FH or BH overhead smash. Period. It doesn’t require a video. 🙄

      @@frankfurter7260 I don't think the question was meant to be that simple. For instance, how would you back up? Facing forward and backpedaling, or turning around and running? And what if someone hit an excellent lob, and you didn't have time to set up for a smash? What's the best way to hit the ball if you are on the run backwards? Sounds like a video that goes into detail on topics like these is actually a good idea.

    I agree mostly with what you said! There are however circumstances where you must lob to get back into the rally! Always go crosscourt unless that player is really talented and can smash! Always target shorter or people that have no range! I tell my opponents if they both crowd the kitchen, accept the fact I'll be lobbing somewhere on them! Lobbing is very effective for numerous reasons! Number one, they may not get to it in time. Number two, if hit properly could knock them out of position. Number three, it's a fine setup shot for a much easier shot to the open area of the court! This shot must be perfect against younger higher ranked players! You must only use the shot when you see at least one player at the kitchen, and you target that corner baseline! The LOBSTER!!

    I like your warnings at the end of the video. From what I've seen in rec play situations the lob is a low percentage shot where the risk is too high for the potential reward.

    Like tagging , I realize that lopping is a legal part of the game but I think that it’s bad form in rec. play with folks that are over 50 and /or have mobility issues. A friend of mine that was 60 and a 4.0 player fell when retrieving a lob and died from the head injury. I will never use the lob again unless my opponent is under 20-30 and I am certain that they are aware of the risk of tracking down a lob and have been schooled on the technique for going so.

    I saw Anna Bright fall backwards going for a lob at the PPA in Austin. I noticed the more novice one is the better lobs. I was the same just starting out. I could get my lobs just at the back line.

    • @jslap885
      @jslap885 6 місяців тому

      Yeah, had a similar experience indoors but i placed a ball perfectly at my opponent's feet when they were coming in, caused them to step back, lose balance, fall, and then hit their head. Their whole body got stiff for a moment while they were on the floor. After being helped up, they were visible not coherent for a 5 min, but they managed to be ok.

      As an older player I have great concerns about the increased use of lobs. Is this shot worth the safety issues that are very apparent? What ever happened to the third shot drive, drop, or combo?

    I understand strategic lobbing but I get actually aggravated(interally) when I play against people who constantly lob every time they get the ball or every other time. No matter how terribly it does for them, I just hate constantly having to run back for it

      I often use the lob and I'm pretty good at it, let me tell you when is the best and worst for me to use the lob - when we dink and the ball is in front of me or from a drop that lands in front of me is pretty easy, from a drive or a dink that makes me stretch - like on my backhand and low bounce is very hard or impossible. So like everything else in pickleball - don't give me the opportunity and I won't do it.

    This is a nice video to watch because it confirms my mindset about how I've been incorporating lobs in my gameplay for many months now.
    During dink rallies, as a counter-reset which let's my partner and I get to the kitchen line and pull away at least one opponent from the kitchen to acquire positional advantage, and even I'm back-court or mid-court rushing to recover a ball that the opponent lightly taps over the net into the kitchen.

  • @dannaylor9312
    @dannaylor9312 5 місяців тому

    Perfect timing! I was just wanting to add a lob into my game. Im a lefty and usually stack with my teammates, so my forehand is always in the middle. Do you think its better to take the longer route aiming for the corners (risk going sideline out) or just try to go up the middle between the two opponents.
