DRILL # 4

Lobs

 

There are defensive lobs and offensive lobs. You hit defensive lobs when you are on the run and in trouble. Hit the ball high and deep to buy time.  Offensive lobs are lobs over your opponents when they are at the net or just when you want to disrupt their rythm.
  • This drill is to help players lob.

  • Both players start on the court at the baseline

  • The first player starts out hitting a lob to the other player..
  • Continue trading lobs as long as possible. Hit topspin lobs if you can.

  • Any lob that lands before the service line stop and start the drill over

  • Lobs should be at least 10 ft high when they cross the net
