Play the high backhand
When you are stuck with a low mid
court ball and can’t do anything, try
putting up a low lob over the backhand side of your opponent. This
probably won’t make them miss, but it
is a very difficult shot that they most
likely won’t be able to hurt you with as
well. This sneaky shot will be sure to
get you out of many sticky situations.
