More on Lob Serve

The lob serve is a soft serve which falls or drops into the back corner.

• Adjust width to suit individual stance and technique.
• Shoulders point to the target on the front wall.
• Open racket face gives height on the front wall.
• Ball toss to be higher than the shoulders so the racket face can get under the ball.
• A good lob serve will hit the side wall behind the service boxes, before the receiver can intercept it.
• Try a backhand serve from the forehand side box as a change - remember to adjust the target points.

• Aim high (about .5 metre)  on the front wall about centre of the front wall.

• Aim two/thirds across the front wall.
