Turning defence into attack

Strategy

Hi Coach,

Ever since I have learnt lob I have noticed that most of the point I lost during the lob are due to drop shot (7/10 Times).

I have seen some player ending lob with a heavy topspin or loop. But it is too tricky to do because we have to adjust the hight. Using Flat contact or tilt the racket?

How to execute it perfectly.

Hi Tushar,

This is possible when you get into good position and have a little more time to be able to swing at the ball.  Often this is not possible because the player attacking is smashing at you.

The attacking stroke from there is big topspin stroke.
