Record 2 2011-12-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Racquet Sports
DEF

A type of stroke that not only imparts a forward spin on the ball, it also causes it to dip in flight.

OBS

See "drive" and "shot" for more in-depth information concerning the nuances between these two terms. Briefly, a "drive" implies a hard-hit ball, whereas "shot" is neutral, i.e. it makes no statement as to the force or speed of the ball. The distinction between these two terms is sadly not always made in the media.

CONT

For the top spin lob, the racket technique is an exaggerated version of the topspin drive. The loop of the racket is more pronounced and the stroke is played with less pace through the ball.

OBS

topspin shot: also a table tennis term.

PHR

Backhand, brush, forehand, one-handed topspin drive.

PHR

To hit a topspin drive.

Key term(s)

Record 3 2011-12-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Racquet Sports
CONT

The top-spin forehand is the primary shot in professional tennis matching as it does the quest for power from the back of the court.

PHR

Running topspin forehand.

PHR

To play the topspin forehand.

Key term(s)
  • top spin forehand
  • topspin forehand drive
  • topspin forehand shot

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sports de raquette
CONT

Réalisation technique d'un coup droit ou d'un revers lifté.

CONT

[...] pour le coup droit brossé [...] on sait que le problème majeur de l'élève réside dans son manque de compréhension à quitter la balle à l'impact vers le haut, à l'aide de sa raquette, pour créer la rotation désirée.

PHR

Coup droit brossé lourd.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Deportes de raqueta
CONT

Golpe liftado de derecha. Este golpe es el más habitual de los tenistas avanzados y sobre todo, en los de una reconocida categoría; el golpe por el lado derecho liftado permite una velocidad considerable, parecida a la del golpe plano. Pero, además tiene unas ventajas superiores, dado que el efecto que adquiere la pelota es ascendente, gira en el mismo sentido de su dirección, termina por «zambullirse» sobre la cancha contraria, y además su bote tiene una respuesta mucho más rápida. Tiende a salirse de la pista con rapidez, debido precisamente a esa inercia de rotación ascendente que lleva la pelota.

Record 5 2000-07-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Racquet Sports
OBS

If the intentions of a tennis player are to win the point outright rather than to defend himself, then his intentions are said to be "offensive", regardless of whether he uses the topspin lob or the underspin lob - less specific terms. Related term: offensive lob [less specific than topspin lob].

CONT

For the top spin lob, the racket technique is an exaggerated version of the topspin drive. The loop of the racket is more pronounced and the stroke is played with less pace through the ball.

Key term(s)
  • top-spin lob

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sports de raquette
OBS

Le lob d'attaque a pour but de contrer un adversaire qui monte beaucoup et qui a une bonne couverture de filet. [...] Le lob d'attaque peut être coupé ou lifté. Le second est plus difficile à réaliser, à cause des risques d'erreurs de centrage, mais il est imparable lorsqu'il est réussi. Il passe juste au-dessus de la raquette tendue de l'adversaire, plonge vers le sol et accélère en rebondissant.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Deportes de raqueta
DEF

Golpe mortal que se ejecuta elevando la pelota, golpeado de abajo arriba. Cuando bota la pelota da un salto que hace imposible su devolución.

CONT

Lanzar un globo en el momento oportuno, cuando un adversario sube a la red para volear, haciéndole retroceder con un lob de defensa, o ganar 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.
