5 Winning Keys to Lobbing, pt 3 |
Comment First |
Welcome to our third and final part of Keys to Lobbing. Number five, the last tip in this set is below.
5. 7 Tips to practicing the lob
1. Practice tossing the ball up, letting it bounce then directing the lob to a 9 foot by 9 foot area in the corner of the court near the baseline and sideline.
2. Practice tossing the ball up and away from you so you have to run wide or back up to lob to a 9’x9’ target near either alley and the baseline.
3. Have a friend feed you a deep slow high ball and you attempt to lob to your deep targets.
4. Have a friend feed you a wide or deep challenging ball that you must run down and place into your deep targets.
5. Have a friend serve to you from both the deuce court and ad court while you practice lobbing the return into the deep targets near the baseline
6. Have two friends play against you. One serves form the deuce court baseline while the other one is at the net. You practice returning serves deep over the net players head to the targets. This forces the server to retreat to track the lob down and play the ball to your half of the doubles court. Repeat form the ad court as well.
7. Remember – when you can’t see the sun – they can – lob into the sun! You will see the difference – they will see the sun.
