4. Height and DepthThe defensive lob requires height and depth. The angle of the
racquet face is consistent with the intention of this shot. Note: this is
not a backspin shot, nor is it a topspin shot, but simply a ball hit with
an open face and an upward swing. The defensive lob does not require heavy
topspin as we don't intend to try and hit a winner, just get back into the
point. An interesting practice exercise is to time the flight of your defensive
lob, and to see whether you can keep the ball in the air for at least
two seconds. Remember, when the ball is in the air for two seconds,
those are the same two seconds you have available for a full and complete
recovery.
