To move your opponent<\/strong> &#8211; which puts their speed and footwork under pressure, either tiring them out, or forcing them to play a bad shot that you can then take advantage of.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Even though the lift can often be seen as more of a defensive shot, and therefore less \u2018exciting\u2019 to play, it\u2019s common to see players making unforced errors by hitting lifts either short or out.<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"notion-enable-hover\" style=\"font-weight: 600;\" data-token-index=\"0\">BUT<\/span>, no matter what level you play at, improving your lift shot <span class=\"notion-enable-hover\" style=\"font-weight: 600;\" data-token-index=\"2\">accuracy and consistency<\/span> will help take your game to the next level.
