Defensive shot selection: angles, speed, and height when not lobbing.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How should I choose my defensive shot placement when I cannot lob?
When you can't lob, focus on varying the angle, speed, and height of your defensive shots. Playing straight down the line or cross-court, at different speeds (slow or medium), and heights (low or high on the backhand side) can create difficulties for your opponents and give you time to recover court position. Consider your partner's position and your opponents' strengths and weaknesses when choosing your shot.

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson with Sven is really insightful for your defensive game. It breaks down exactly where to place the ball when you're defending and can't lob. You'll learn about playing straight versus cross-court, and how speed and height affect your shot effectiveness. Understanding these nuances can really improve your defensive strategy and help you win more points by making smarter choices under pressure.
