When facing a deep and ‘heavy’ ball, taking it on-the-rise is a great option. While it can be a higher risk play, if executed properly it can be a great way to neutralize a tough shot from your opponent.

Very rewarding series on countering depth. How about for one handed backhands? Do you recommend the same approach or is this a truly defensive shot, most likely a lob, to try and reset the point? Also, when countering depth against doubles opponents, is our target still deep middle?
Hi…nice video. How will this work for deep topspin lobs in a doubles match? Too often, we allow the deep topspin lobs to push us back close to the fence line and attempt to lob it back. My opinion is it’s too late to get a deep topspin lob to become an offensive shot when it gets above the shoulder height. Should the shot be taken out of the air instead?
