You can anticipate whether an opponent is hitting a defensive Bandeja, an aggressive Vibora, or a power Smash by observing their body position, shoulder turn, and racket preparation (e.g., trophy position).
This lesson from Sandy and the coaches is quite useful if you want to improve your court awareness. They explain how to tell what kind of overhead smash your opponent is about to hit just by looking at their body position. Understanding these cues helps you anticipate their shot better after you've hit a lob. It's a simple but effective way to improve your reaction time and positioning against different kinds of attacks.
