A topspin lob is hit with the same technique as a high topspin forehand, but with a higher trajectory over the net. To hit this shot, you must first perfect the topspin forehand technique. Then, practice hitting topspin forehands progressively higher over the net, using topspin to insure the ball lands inside the court near the opponent’s baseline, until the resulting shot is a ball that travels just high enough over the outstretched racquet of your opponent and drops into the court.
