Lob

Category shots
Definition One of the most important shots of padel. Lobs are often hit over the heads of opponents at the net in an attempt to gain the net for one’s side. Players hit high defensive lobs to slow the point down and short aggressive lobs to really push the opponents back as fast as possible.The proper lob technique in padel requires the player to propel the ball upward with their legs, not their arms.
