Call Every Lob Immediately — Mine or Yours
The Situation
A lob goes over both players and there is hesitation about who should take it.
What To Do
The moment a lob is hit, one player calls it immediately — 'mine' or 'yours'. The player whose backhand overhead side it targets should call it first.
Why It Works
The first scenario requiring verbal coordination with your partner is when you get lobbed. Hesitation on a lob almost always results in either a collision, a missed ball, or a weak shot from an awkward position. Calling it immediately removes all doubt and lets both players commit fully.

Skill Level
Bandeja: Shuffle Back, Slice, Return Forward
You are lobbed while at the net. The lob is medium depth — not short enough to attack, not deep enough to let bounce.
Víbora Only on Short Lobs — Never Deep
The opponent lobs short — the ball is above shoulder height and well inside the service line.
Always Lob to the Backhand Overhead Side
You are choosing where to direct your lobs from the back of the court.
