The scenario is very common. You are playing doubles and both of you are at the net. One of the opposing team gives you a lob and your partner sets up for the slam. But he does not have the vertical and misses the ball completely. “OH MAN!!!” you think as you run to chase down the high bouncing ball. When you get there, you hit the ball over your shoulder. The ball goes VERY high in the air and bounces on the opposing player’s side. They wind up to hit the slam and they bag it into the net. HIGH FIVE!!!
The over the shoulder move is not so common but everyone that plays double should have it in their arsenal. Turning around to hit a forehand is difficult to do and you might need something that is easier to pull off than the in betweener.
1. run down a lob.
2. continental grip
3. when the ball is in front of your face, tilt your body to the right (right hander) and hit the ball OVER YOUR SHOULDER
If you come to the net, this move is HIGHLY recommended. You can do anything from a lob to a drive depending on how close the ball is to your shoulder when you hit it.
