A useful lob has height, depth, timing, and a recovery decision after it leaves the racket. Train the lob as a transition shot: first create safe height, then land deep enough to move opponents back, then decide whether your team can take the net. ## Why lob drills matter in padel The lob is one of the shots that changes court position most quickly. A good lob can turn defence into attack; a bad lob gives the opponents a comfortable overhead. The goal of practice is not to hit the highest possible ball. It is to make the lob repeatable under pressure, with enough depth to move the opponents and enough control for your partner to recover with you. ## What a good lob drill should train Every useful lob drill should measure four things: contact quality, height, landing depth, and recovery after contact. If a drill ignores recovery, it teaches only half of the shot. Use a clear target zone. For most players, the first target is deep middle, past the service line and away from the side glass. Corners are useful later, but middle depth is safer when the ball is low or rushed. If you train with a partner, rotate roles every set: one player feeds, one player hits the lob, and the feeder gives a simple call on height, depth, and recovery. That keeps the drill measurable instead of turning it into casual rallying. ## Main lob drill progression Run the drills in this order. Add pressure only after the earlier block is repeatable. | Drill | Goal | How to run it | | --- | --- | --- | | Deep target lobs | Build height and depth. | Hit 2 to 3 sets of 10 balls per side. The ball should clear the opponents comfortably and land deep, ideally through the middle. | | Defensive reset lob | Buy time from a low ball. | Feed a low or awkward ball. Lift with a calm swing, recover to base, and count only lobs that give you time to reset. | | Lob plus move forward | Connect the shot to transition. | After a deep lob, both players step forward together. If the lob is short, both stay back and prepare for the overhead. | | Middle-pressure lob | Reduce risk under stress. | From difficult feeds, aim high through the middle instead of forcing the corner. Use 2 sets of 10 controlled repetitions. | | Pressure point game | Make the choice match-like. | Play 10 to 15 points. A deep lob earns one bonus point; a short lob that invites an easy smash loses two. | ## Beginner block: make the lob boring first For beginners, the first win is a lob that goes high enough and lands deep enough without panic. Start from a comfortable feed, keep the grip relaxed, and finish the swing toward the target instead of flicking only with the wrist. Use a simple score: 10 attempts, one point for safe height, one point for deep landing. Do not add corners, spin, or net transition until you can score at least 14 out of 20 points in two rounds. - [How to lob in padel](https://padel.how/pt/techniques/how-to-lob-in-padel/) - [Beginner drills](https://padel.how/pt/training/padel-drills-for-beginners/) - [Warm-up](https://padel.how/pt/training/warm-up/) ## Intermediate block: add decision pressure Once the basic contact is stable, the drill should include a decision. The player feeding the ball can call “middle”, “corner”, or “reset” late, forcing the hitter to choose the safer lob instead of a pre-planned target. Add movement after contact. A good deep lob should trigger a coordinated step forward; a neutral lob should trigger recovery. This is where the lob becomes part of doubles tactics, not just a technical shot. - [When to lob](https://padel.how/pt/strategy/when-to-lob/) - [How to play at the net](https://padel.how/pt/strategy/how-to-play-at-the-net-in-padel/) - [Basic padel strategy](https://padel.how/pt/strategy/basic-padel-strategy/) ## Recovery after the lob Watch the player after contact. If they admire the ball, the drill is incomplete. The first recovery step should happen as the ball rises, not after opponents have already moved under it. Use a clear rule: deep lob, move forward together; short lob, stay organised and prepare for bandeja, vibora, smash, or a ball off the glass. The decision must be shared by both partners. - [Defensive lob](https://padel.how/pt/defense/defensive-lob/) - [How to use the glass](https://padel.how/pt/defense/how-to-use-the-glass-in-padel/) - [Overhead shot selection](https://padel.how/pt/techniques/overhead-shot-selection/) ## Common mistakes and fixes The most common mistake is a lob that is high but short. It looks safe for a second, then becomes an easy overhead. Fix it by aiming deeper before trying to aim wider. The second mistake is forcing a corner from a stretched position. If your body is late, choose the middle lob and recover. The third mistake is moving forward after every lob, even when the ball is neutral or short. - [Lob mistakes](https://padel.how/pt/mistakes/lob-mistakes/) - [Footwork drills](https://padel.how/pt/training/footwork-drills/) - [Injury prevention](https://padel.how/pt/training/injury-prevention/) ## Load, safety, and video plan A good lob session does not need hundreds of contacts. Start with 20 to 30 technical repetitions, then add one pressure block. Most recreational players should stop around 60 to 80 lob contacts if quality drops. Rest for 1 to 2 minutes between precision sets. If the shoulder, elbow, or low back starts doing the work instead of the legs and relaxed swing, reduce the volume. The best future video for this page would show three views: deep target zone, defensive reset lob, and lob plus team transition. ## FAQ ### How many lob reps should I do in one session? For most recreational players, 40 to 70 quality lob contacts is enough. Stop earlier if height, depth, or balance drops. ### What is the best target zone for lob drills? Start with deep middle targets beyond the service line. Corners come later, once height and contact are reliable. ### Should beginners lob cross-court or down the middle? The middle is safer for early training because it gives more margin and reduces the chance of feeding an easy smash. ### When should I move forward after a lob? Move forward only when the lob is deep enough to push opponents back. If it lands short or neutral, recover and defend. ### Why is my lob high but still easy to attack? It is probably landing too short or too central without enough depth. Train height and landing zone together, not separately. ### Can I practise lob drills alone? Yes. Use a wall or self-feed to train contact shape and height, but add partner feeding when you need realistic pressure and recovery timing.
