Problem faced when opponent lobs
Strokes
utkarsh agarwal Asked 10 years ago
Hi coach,
As the title says when my opponent lobs the ball I can't hit the ball consistently and it just annoys me when my opponent takes the point during such situation. I mostly lose the point when the lobbed ball hits the table on the third line and I'm forced a bit away from the table. Please help me with this problem.
Thank you

Hi Utkarsh,
Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Smash. This is the best strokes to combat the lobs.

Banana Flick
The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.

I too have problem against players who lob more. They give high balls and smash- they lob... This goes on continouosly. Then I get tired after smashing and smashing and lose the point. When I play a drop shot they come near the table running and again give high ball or punch the ball very fast.
Please give me advice to play with such players.
Yes Kaustubh, watching the smash lesson will help.
