Let the Perfect Lob Bounce — Use the Wall
The Situation
Your opponent lobs perfectly deep and the ball is heading into the back corner.
What To Do
Do not chase it. Let it bounce. Position yourself sideways to the back wall with your racket back early. The wall slows everything down — you have more time than you think.
Why It Works
The back wall is your ally. Players who panic and chase into the corner make errors. Letting the ball bounce and come off the wall gives you a controlled defensive position. From there play a lob — never attempt a pass, as you are too deep and off balance.
Court Positioning
Deep lob → bounces near baseline → comes off back wall at reduced pace → defender already sideways with racket back → plays controlled lob from wall position.
Court View
Bird's-eye view — attacking net position
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.
