Attacking lob
A lower, faster lob played to get over the net player before they can turn, usually from a comfortable position in the middle of the court.
When to play it
When the net players are crowding the net. From a ball you could have driven, as a surprise.
How to play it
Disguise it: prepare as for a drive. Lift it just over the stretched racket of the net player. Move up to the net straight after.
Common mistakes
Hitting it too low, so the net player smashes it. Hitting it too long, so it bounces off the glass and comes back.
