Back to Home Written on 09-Oct-2007 by tennisWe all know that it is diffcult to hit a good lob. Either it doesn't have the right height so it doesn't go over your opponent, or there isn't enough pace so they are able to recover in time... and when you do hit the ball harder, it just goes out! Well, if you use a top spin lob, this will generate more pace and you can hit the ball higher while the topspin brings it back down into the court much quicker than a flat lob. The trick of the top spin lob is to generate as much spin as possible by brushing up the back of the ball with plenty of racket head speed.
Bonus tip: When finishing your swing, finish over your same shoulder as opposed to the opposite shoulder (as a usual groundstroke). This will reduce the forward movement of the swing and generate more of an upwards movement which will brush up the back of the ball more effectively.
