Holding the Net Without Getting Lobbed

Good net players are rarely the fastest. They stand in the right place.

A Metre Off the Net

Close enough to volley, far enough to turn and chase a lob.

Move With Your Partner

Think of a rope between you. If one moves across, the other follows.

Read the Shoulders

A low, opening racket face almost always means a lob is coming.

Retreat Sideways

Never backpedal. Turn and run, then look up.
