How Seniors Should Defend Lobs In Pickleball

Lobs are the hardest shot for senior players to defend — Senior Pro Heather Lovett shows the footwork and balance fixes that make them easy. In this senior pickleball lesson, Heather breaks down how to defend lobs without backpedaling, how to read your opponent's paddle to anticipate the lob early, and the sideways run + bounce + lift technique to get back to the kitchen safely. Perfect for pickleball over 50, 60+ players, and anyone working on pickleball footwork and balance. I brought Heather in because chasing lobs is where I see our 3.5-4.5 seniors get hurt or give up free points — I wanted to learn her system live so you can steal it too.
