Mastering the deadly defensive lob from the back glass.
🏆
Your #1 Takeaway
How can I hit a highly effective defensive lob from the back glass?
Wait for the ball to come off the back glass towards you, use an open racket face and a "flicking" motion (rather than slicing) to slow the ball down and make it bounce low and difficult for opponents to attack.
What Your Guru Thinks
This lesson from the coach offers a really useful insight into a specific type of lob. It's the kind of lob that feels like it just stops after it bounces off the glass, making it very difficult for the opponent to hit. The coach calls this technique "flicking" and explains why it's different from slicing for this particular situation. It's a great tactical shot to add to your game from the back of the court.
