On this drill, we’re working on using the lob as an aggressive weapon any time a ball can be taken out of the air. In this video, you’ll see two players dinking and when one player can take it out of the air, the lob goes up.
The drill is also meant to work on the recovery of the person who’s been lobbed over. The best shot you can always do after running down a lob over your head is to put the ball back in the kitchen. Of course, after you run the lob down and hit it in the kitchen, you want to begin working your way back up to the kitchen line where pickleball is meant to be played. It’s very important to recognize that all these lobs are hit when the ball is out of the air, not when it’s bounced.
