@@thatpickleballguy I had my first successful lob today from watching this video. I'm about 5 - 6 weeks into playing Pickleball and I use your tips all the time! Thanks!
Thanks! 👌👍 I tend to lob by accident and it works out sometimes. I want to lob well on purpose. Thanks for the tips! I look forward to trying it out tomorrow.
Great video, Kyle! Here is my two cents: I feel like the lob is a great shot when done right, but it is hard to execute. If you don’t get it deep enough, high enough, or in the right spot it’s going to get killed. Start practicing your lobs people!
Good video, but it would be nice if you had added how to defend the offensive lob. For example, would it be better to try to take it out of the air or let it bounce to give you more time and options for a return shot (drive, drop or a defensive lob).
At 4:03 into the video, you lobbed but Spencer stepped into the kitchen before going back to try and return the lob.. Is that step into the kitchen allowed?? Thanks.
This would have been called a foot fault in a tournament. It is not allowed unless the foot that faulted re-established itself on the court before contacting the ball, which in this case appears not to have happened. Good eye for noticing that. Wanted to add that this happens when the player is trying to hit the ball on the fly mostly. If the player has to run to the back of the court to take it off the bounce, then obviously their feet would have both been re-established in the court. Hope that helps.
I just re watched that clip. I actually can't tell if his left foot came down before he made contact with the ball. If it did not, yes fault. If he re - established both feet back behind the kitchen line before making contact, no fault.
@@thatpickleballguy Totally agree. Watching it again myself, maybe it does look like his left foot lands on the ground, but can't tell when ball contact was made.
Thank you!!

I was thinking the opposite as well?If my opponents are very tall?Make them bend down by hitting low?Making them bend takes energy and can be difficult if done repeatedly.
@@OhGeeGanksta would you argue the same for table tennis? There are also leagues in tennis based on age and level. There are plenty of sports and games that can feel like this. Just because something is easier to pick up doesn't mean that it is designed for the unathletic or slow. Take golf and disc golf into account here too
So good. I’m gonna lob all the elders at my park now 😊
hahah be nice!
😂😂😂
😂
Mix in a few drops. They'll fall all over the place.
Hey, we *elders* watch these too - don't be surprised to find a lob being sent over your head. ;).
OMG!!This is amazing!! You have such a great way to teaching! Can't wait to go try this!
Thanks so much 😊
Thanks for the informative video, Kyle. I've been getting lobs, and now I know how to do it too. I'm trying this tomorrow.
Lets go!!

@@jkeiffer It helps a ton! I had no idea. Thanks a lot John.

@@thatpickleballguy Thanks again, John. I guess it would only matter in a tournament. Appreciate all you do for us picklers.
so is the lob off the bounce still a lift?
But... But... But I want to watch Parris Todd. Can't you include something she does in your video? ;)
Hi Kyle, Love your videos. What is the Bluetooth mic on your collar, and how do you like it?

Yep!
My mans left the ChatGPT template in the video description
My b :)
next up: How to return the lob? Asks the short old guy
Yes, that is definitely going to be a future video!
was just talking to my hitting partner about wanting to learn this
Awesome!
But if you teach people how to actually lob, I will have to start running them down instead of letting the go out😁
yep :)
Easily said but mostly you will instantly regret it
No, u have advantage playing back
Make lobs illegal 2024
I once played a match where they lobbed every single point. Super frustrating. Even then I wouldn't want it illegal.
Hear Hear!
nah! They're a great shot :)
@@thatpickleballguy you know who hits a lot of lobs? Chris Olson
So like tennis, but for casuals who are out of shape...?
no it's like pickleball
@@Metow677 ...that is literally designed to give the slow and unathletic a chance.
