Answer 2

If you figure it out let me know. I have hands of stone, I would usually try one per match early just to show it, and then bag all lobs and drop shots. I think you have to have the feel for to hit it really well, kind of a natural thing. Obviously do not squeeze your grip to tight, brush up a bit more then normal and make sure you opponent has really closed in enough ro hit it. It is pretty frustrating to have other options on the pass and choose to hit a lob and have them smash it away for a winner at 100 miles per hour. It is a confidence builder for your opponent.

Answer 3

For hitting a good top spin lob remember to keep hit the ball with your forearm and wrist moving in an upwards direction. It should be like a whip action.

Answer 4

I have been experimenting with this shot for awhile. The hardest part is putting topspin on it and getting iot over your opponent. You have you have an exaggerated low to high swing and you have to hit it a lot harder than you would think. So many times I have hit a topspin lob that doesn't even bounce past the service line. You have to swing harder than you expect for the ball to land deep.

Answer 5

The ball's path is a combination of axial deflection, directional acceleration and variable vectorial turbulence. In simple terms, it varies depending on how the racket touches the ball; where it touches it; at which speed it touches; and, once it is gone, gravity, air pressure and other factors like gravity takes care of it. If the ball goes too high, it means that there is an excessive amount of vertical momentum transferred to the ball and that it cannot be overcame by drag, spin and gravity. That is obvious, even to you, but stating it clearly, meaning that we establish the fact that too much energy is pent into pushing the ball upward, can allow us to let it rest and see further. The first thing which is obviously flawed in his swing is the racket face. It has to be perpendicular to the ground to allow the different vectors to be applied correctly; if the face is opened at contact, we understand that the ball will rise, but do you know why? It's fairly simple: the vectors (or directed loads) will be applied accordingly to this angle, the incoming ball's angle and the swing path. But, to make it simple, let us understand that energy will be divided, in terms of pure vertical-horizontal analysis, between height and length. If the racket is facing more the sky, very little energy is transfered horizontally, thus allowing the ball to be projected vertically with great power. If the racket is facing the ground, more energy is transfered in that direction... Accordingly to Newton's law, an object moving has a certain amount of energy and if nothing deflect it from its path, it will continue until something stops it. The greater the energy, the more is required to deflect the object. This is simply to make you realize that pushing the ball in one direction force it to remain along this path, but also that something is the cause for the ball not to go straight. I am well aware that your powerful strokes follow an arc-like trajectory -- it's not a straight line, nor a parabolic path like a lob; it's something in between. So, why do the ball rise if I claim that your racket face is about square to the ground? Your swing path provides the answer. You certainly have learnt to strike the ball in a low to high path in order to propel it with top spin so that it takes lesser time to fall down and allows for a higher pace without sailing long. This spin is due to a eccentric vectorial acceleration; because you push onto the ball without being aligned with its center, you cause it to spin, but also to follow up to some extend that direction. Your top spin movement provides the height, but also what will bring the ball down. In most cases, the racket is square to the ground; if the ball is higher, it can be closed slightly, but not much. What gives us the impression that the racket face is closed is the pace at which the strokes are played by the pros; our eye cannot catch the contact, only what follows it and the follow-through of a windshield-wiper swing requires your forearm to pronate, explaining our impression. So, this little 101 physics of dynamics class teaches you one simple thing: get your racket face square with the ground. Your height control is mostly due to your upward swing path which will also allow to lay the ball down the court easier with the added spin. I've explained you why it works, how it works, but you simply have to teach him how to make it happen. My detailed answer simply shows you that it's not a random idea or an impression that I have; I make them detailed so that people can judge the answers of others and determine their validity. It's not necessary, although it's not damageable, for your students to understand this part. Instead of trying to implement your motion into someone else, try to understand what makes your striking action work and what is likely to make it fail. I've had trouble covering the "height control" subject in that space; let alone showing you how a motion works properly. However, in all your researches keep in mind that if the essence is identical, the form and expression differs; many instances of a swinging action can be declined and used to great ends. It's not that the motion vary from one person to an other: what is good remains just as right from A to B. The reason why the strokes vary is that it is the expression of the idea of a perfect swing. In terms that you may understand more quickly, each pro who have a solid swing present the very same features, although they accomplish this job differently.

Answer 6

In my opinion, produce a good side spin as your folloing through to create your lob, however, you might have to modify your manner in holding grip or swinging manner, try experimenting.

Answer 7

Come over the ball to produce the top-spin while simultaneously hitting it higher than you would a straight forehand. The most important thing though is to make sure you roll over the ball instead of directly striking it.

Answer 8

Drop yor racquet until it is below the wrist, then brush up on teh ball vigorously, aim for your peak to be over the service line, otherwise it will land short and set up for an easy put away by your opponent.

In my opinion the best site for help is TENNIS.com

its a tennis magazine and theres a section "your game" and it can help you out in all areas of tennis, with clips and articles.
