Playing Squash: How To Lob
We all play sports. Although we say it is all about playing and not about winning, everybody likes to win. This video shows you how to do a lob shot. Learning all the shots are essential if you are going to win at squash.
Hi, my name is Bob Jaffe. I am the director of coaching at the Dulwich sports club in London. I am going to talk to you about the equipment you are going to need, the etiquette you are going to use on court, and the sort of shots that you are going to need to play and how you are going to play them.
The lob shot, strike at the ball well infront of you. The ball will be nice and low. Face of the racket, again, really open.
And your target is to put the ball well above the service line, that middle red line. So you are looking to do something like that. Ideally, the ball will be striking onto the sidewall, into the back corner.
