In this brief instructional clip, Speaker A explains that when a player is lobbed in paddle (or tennis) they lose visual contact with the opponents while retreating, making it essential for the partner to communicate opponent positions so the player can select the appropriate shot and potentially retake the net. Sandy Farquharson follows by promoting The Paddle School (thepaddleschool.com) as a resource for building confidence, breaking bad habits, and establishing good habits in a player's game, encouraging viewers to visit the site via the link in the bio.

When you get lobbed, you can't see where your opponents are. You're following the ball, you're moving back, so it's the job of the partner to tell you where your opponents are so you can choose the right shot and hopefully take the net straight back if you can.
If you want to build confidence, break those bad habits that you might have in your game, and form new good habits, that's why we formed thepaddleschool.com as a way to help train you. The link is in the bio. Go
