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.

Forehand Topspin Variations
A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.

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.
