Ep 16: Lobs, lobs, lobs

Lobs are annoying, but they're lethal weapons in the right hands. They can sow chaos, cause fatigue, and send your opponents into fits. This week, the PickleBros launch into every aspect of those crazy little things called lobs. The boys talk technique and timing about all the lobs you love to hate: volley lobs, kitchen lobs, baseline lobs, topspin lobs, and everything in between. 0:00 Start 0:29 Our beefs 7:13 Is the lob a valid shot? 11:48 Does lobbying actually work against 4.5/5.0 men? 15:36 Third shot lobs 2:42 Why everyone lobs over our friend Jared 26:33 Lobbing over women in mixed doubles 27:26 The importance of angled overheads as an antidote to lobs 28:26 The best lob is not too high, has pace, and has heavy topspin 30:52 Is it acceptable to lob against older players or those with limited mobility? 34:20 Tim's weird low-arc lob 37:51 Stolp offers up his unique definition of a successful lob (worst PickleBro take ever?) 49:20 Defending lobs 50:55 If you run back to the baseline to retrieve a lob, what shot should you hit back?
