August 16, 2024 Breaking Down...the Lob 🌈 🦞 | The Pickleball Breakdown | Pod 1
Do you love the lob?

Let's break down a shot I hate and love. I hate it because I’m not great at doing it, (I heard from someone it’s kind of hard to be good at something you don’t practice) and I love it because I love when someone does it to me.
Close your eyes and visualize where the lobs should land.

Questions we will answer:
When should someone lob?
Where should we lob?
What are the different lob styles?
Should you lob off the volley or the bounce?
Why don’t I lob more? Do we not do things that are not effective on us?
How to avoid the panic lob?
What about 3rd shot lobs? I fucking love these. Need to start doing them again.
What about lobbing from baseline on defense?

All that and more, inside the episode.

What should we discuss next week? Comment below. 👇
