Jeroen from Unicum in Leiden offers advice on how to play padel tennis lobbing without getting taken advantage of. He highlights how important placement is, telling players to play shorter, change their angles and speeds, and take up positions closer to the net to make it harder for opponents to lob. Jeroen also advises being patient and hitting the fence or sidewall with greater vigor.
Specific strategies that include playing a faster drive to the center of the court, keeping your eyes on your opponent rather than the ball, staying close to the second post, playing the bajada instead of the bandeja from a distance, playing the smash or a fake smash, and playing the smash or a fake smash are tips four, five, six, and seven. Jeroen generally suggests that in order to get an advantage, players should adapt to lobbing tactics and play proactively.
