Racquetball Lob Serve - Hit Under the Ball for a Good Racquetball Lob Serve

An Easy Lift, With Weight Transfer Onto Front Foot, and Some Shoulder Rotation

Steve Hufford
When the ball rebounds to its full height, about at your waist, hit under it with a gentle lifting motion. Your racquet's strings are contacting the lower back of the ball. No spin is necessary, but you need to rotate your shoulders as you hit to generate some lift for the shot. It is also helpful to shift your weight forward onto your front foot as you hit.
