Dealing with sidespin lobs
Strokes
Linus Koh Asked 13 years ago
Hi Alois,
I am an offensive player who has a problem with dealing with sidespin lobs, so could you give me some advice to deal with this type of lob? And best still, can you answer with a video reply?

Hi Linus,
I think the best thing is to wait for the ball to spin and then make a direct smash onto the table. Don't rush your stroke. You will have plenty of time. You then need to move your feet into position to make the stroke.
