The Most Underrated Shot in Pickleball by ThatPickleballGuy - Kyle Koszuta

In pickleball, the offensive lob is a powerful move when all players are at the kitchen.

This shot can surprise opponents and push them off the kitchen line, giving you an advantage.

To execute the lob, players should be in an athletic stance, lean in, extend their arm, and lift the ball.

The lob should be aimed over an opponent's left shoulder, especially if they have a weaker backhand overhead.

After hitting the lob, it's wise to step back to prepare for any return.

Key Points:

  • The offensive lob is used when all players are at the kitchen.

  • The lob can push opponents off the kitchen line, creating an advantage.

  • Proper technique includes being in an athletic stance, leaning in, extending the arm, and lifting the ball.

  • Aim the lob over the opponent's left shoulder for a weaker return.

  • Step back after hitting the lob to prepare for the next shot.
