	Lob (tennis) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A lob in tennis is hitting the ball high and deep into the opponent's court.
		A lob is usually hit when an opponent is standing near the net, waiting to volley.
		A good offensive lob cannot be reached by the opponent, yet it is low enough and has enough pace so that the opponent can not run back and chase it down.

		Tennis is played on a 78' x 27' (78' x 36' for doubles) court, which is divided in the middle by a net, such as that each side measures 39' in length.
		Tennis was for many years predominantly a sport of the English-speaking world, dominated by the United States, Britain and Australia, although it was also popular in France: the French Open dates from 1891.

	The Art of Lawn Tennis - Chapter IV
		A lob is a high toss of the ball landing between the service-line and the baseline.
		The ideas in lobbing are: (1) to give yourself time to recover position when pulled out of court by your opponent's shot; (2) to drive back the net man and break up his attack; (3) to tire your opponent; (4) occasionally to, win cleanly by placement.
		The value of a lob is mainly one of upsetting your opponent, and its effects are very apparent if you unexpectedly bring off one at the crucial period of a match.

		Lawn-tennis differs from tennis and racquets in that the service may not be taken on the volley by striker-out.

		The underspin lob is used mostly in defensive situations when you don’t have a lot of time to hit a shot or you cannot get good balance from your position.
		The topspin lob is mostly used as an offensive shot, although sometimes it is used simply to change the pace of a rally.
		A common use of a topspin lob is when your opponent is at the net and you have enough time to hit a topspin lob over his or her head.
