Tennis: Coaching Cue for
Optimal Distance on Lob Shots

If your students find that their lobs often come up short, it's probably because they're miscalculating the trajectory of their shots.

Coaching Cue for Lob Location
Instead of aiming so the apex of your lobs is above the net, aim for the high point to be above the opposing service line.
This will drop the ball closer to the opposing baseline -- a much better location for a lob shot.
