on 8/8/2006 Combining a lob with some spin can help is some tricky situations. For example: a high lob with a back spin can stop on a dime, even on the ugliest fields.

Underhand lobs can work to get you where you want to go in bumpy situations, just make sure you throw short of your target (unless you're skilled enough to land a vertical drop), where the ball won't move much from landing.
