The Offensive Lob: Pickleball’s Most Overlooked Weapon

Professional player Tyson McGuffin explains how to transform the lob from a defensive desperation shot into a powerful offensive tool.

Using the lob as an offensive weapon is particularly effective against opponents who struggle with backward mobility or overhead shots.

This strategy relies on disguise, as the player should mimic the same body position and swing used for a standard dink.

Sneaky lobs are most successful when the paddle tip is down and the player maintains a relaxed, non-threatening posture.

Baiting opponents with repetitive dinks creates a sense of rhythm that makes the eventual lob much harder to anticipate.

Lobs should be aimed over the opponent’s non-dominant shoulder to force a difficult and uncomfortable backhand overhead response.

If you notice an opponent leaning forward or maintaining a very wide stance, it is an ideal time to launch a lob.

A cross-court offensive lob is often safer than a down-the-line one because it utilizes the greater distance of the diagonal court.

Even if the lob does not result in an immediate winner, it disrupts the opponent's positioning and forces them to scramble.

Key Points:

• Disguise your offensive lob by using the same preparation and look as your regular dinking motion.

• Aim for the back corner or over your opponent’s non-dominant shoulder to complicate their overhead return.

• Use the lob when you see an opponent leaning forward or standing in a heavy, wide-set stance.

• Favor the cross-court lob to take advantage of the extra court depth and increase your margin for error.

• Focus on the "lift" motion from the shoulder rather than using a large, tell-tale backswing that gives away the shot.
