Lob and chase

Setup

• Both at the kitchen line, straight across.
• Plenty of room behind you, and a quick look that nobody is on the next court.

How it works

1. Dink until one player lobs over the other.
2. The lobbed player turns (shoulder toward the ball, not backpedalling), runs back and plays it.
3. Short enough: an overhead. Too deep: lob it back high, and walk back in.
4. Swap who lobs every ten.

Turn the dial

Easier: the lob goes to the forehand side, and not too high.

Harder: the lobber disguises it: set up as if to dink, then lob.
