The coach discusses the significance of the lob shot in gaining net position and provides insights into two types: high lob and fast lob. High lob is effective against opponents at the net, forcing them to retreat and wait for the ball to bounce, enabling the player to advance. Fast lob, a more advanced shot, requires opponents to be close to the net, as the ball just clears their heads and bounces off the back glass.
The coach advises considering opponents and conditions when deciding which lob to use and stresses the importance of lob shot practice during training. The video also demonstrates various lob techniques, showcasing their application in a point-by-point analysis.
