These drills give you options to move your team forward on the court and move your opponents back on the court. Offensive lobs move your opponents back on the court and are performed typically on the NVZ and are a surprise shot. Defensive lobs are performed in the transition zone and are used to move your team forward. Use this defensive lob sparingly when you see your opponent rush the net. The offensive lobs can be drilled by adding more hits to your dinking progression before lobbing. Work on disguising the shot and making it a surprise. Drill for consistency in depth and placement over the backhand side on each side of the court.
