If the intentions of a tennis player are to merely defend himself, rather than to win the point outright, then his intentions are said to be "defensive," regardless of whether he uses the topspin lob ("moonball") or the underspin lob. Nonetheless, many people still believe erroneously that an "underspin lob" is always considered a defensive lob. 2, record 1, English, - defensive%20lob

Lanzar un globo en el momento oportuno, cuando un adversario sube a la red para volear, haciéndole retroceder con un lob de defensa, o ganarle el punto con un lob ofensivo liftado, es una buena táctica que hay que utilizar, sobre todo si el adversario no es un buen smashador [...] Generalmente, el lob defendido se lanza cuando un jugador ha perdido su posición, y para defenderse y tener tiempo de colocarse. 1, record 1, Spanish, - lob%20de%20defensa
