Tennis Instruction - How to hit a defensive lob - Tennis Tip

The defensive lob is hit when a player is in trouble and on the total defense. It can accomplish one of two things. First, even if the opponent is on the baseline, it gives a player time to recover into position. Second, if the opponent is at the net, it can move them back off the net or at the very least make them hit a difficult overhead. The first thing to learn in order to hit a defensive lob is how to correctly set the racquet angle in an open position. Ideally you use the continental grip since it opens the racquet face to the same angle on both the forehand and backhand sides. The second step is to finish with both the racquet hand and racquet head above your head. Hold it in that position until the ball reaches the highest point of its arc. If needed, you can insert a foam arrow to help visualize the shot.
