Lob The Let Cord

Quick Tips Stacie Townsend 03-20-2023

Imagine your opponents hit a let cord pickleball that dribbles over to your side of the court, like it did for pro Dylan Frazier in the video below. What shot should you hit in response?

Consider throwing up a lob like Frazier did in the video above . This shot can catch your opponents off guard and put you and your partner on the offensive by pushing your opponents deep into the court. However, be wary of this shot if your opponents are not at the Kitchen line or if the pickleball is too close to the net (as you may not have enough space to execute the lob effectively).
