What is lobs tennis?

Lobs tennis refers to a type of shot in tennis where the ball is hit high and deep into the opponent's court, with the intention of landing behind their baseline. This shot is often used defensively, to buy time and get back into position on the court. In some cases, it can also be used offensively to outmaneuver an opponent or force them to hit a weak return. The lob is typically hit with an upward swing of the racket, often using a slice to add topspin and increase the ball's trajectory. Successful lobs require precise timing, technique, and strategic placement.
