Assess the quality of the lob to decide whether to play an aggressive overhead like a smash, vibora, or bajada, or a defensive overhead like a bandeja. Communicate with your partner about opponent positioning and anticipate their moves based on their actions. Use variations in pace and spin on your overheads to keep opponents guessing.
