When playing pickleball one of the most important skills to have is the ability to return a lob.
A lob is a high slow-moving shot that is used to keep your opponents away from the net.
If you can’t return a lob your opponents will be able to take control of the game and will eventually score.
There are a few things you need to do in order to return a lob effectively.
First you need to be patient and wait for the ball to come down.
If you try to hit it too early you will either miss the ball or hit it weakly.
Second you need to make sure you hit the ball in front of you.
If you hit the ball behind you it will go long and your opponents will be able to take control of the game.
Finally you need to have good hand-eye coordination.
If you don’t you will likely miss the ball.
If you follow these tips you should be able to return most lobs.
However there will be times when you just can’t reach the ball.
When this happens don’t be discouraged.
Just keep practicing and you’ll eventually get the hang of it.
