Why Your Lob Is Holding You Back (And How to Fix It)


Listen Later

Everyone wants a better smash, a sharper vibora, or a more aggressive game. But after watching and coaching players at every level—from beginners to professional tournaments—Sandy and Tom keep coming back to one shot that has the biggest impact on winning matches: the lob.

In this episode, they break down why the quality of your lob dictates who controls the net, why better players consistently hit deeper lobs, and how small improvements in depth and decision-making can transform your results. You'll also learn why many players hit lobs too short under pressure, how the pros find their range early in matches, and why training the lob should be a core part of every player's practice.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  •  Why the lob is the most important shot in padel 
  •  The difference between a good lob and a match-winning lob 
  •  How professional players use the lob to control points 
  •  Why players often hit short lobs under pressure 
  •  When to use a high lob versus a fast lob 
  •  How better decision-making improves your lob success rate 
  •  Practical ways to train your lob, even without a coach 
  •  How footwork and ball control directly affect lob quality 

If you want to win more matches, spend less time defending, and take control of the court more often, this episode will change the way you think about the lob. 🎾
