  • What is Chuan doing?(2:28). Is that a kind of lob?
  • What is Timo Boll doing?(2:38 and 2:46) Thanks a lot!

Hi Archel,

Chuan is doing a sidespin lob.

Boll is doing a sidespin topspin but if you notice he has changed hands and is using his right hand to play this shot.

Isn't more effective just to use your backhand?
