A soft tennis shot is a type of shot used in the sport of tennis. It involves hitting the ball with a light touch, usually over the net and close to it. The two most common types of soft shots are the dink (4 letters) and the LOB (3 letters). A dink is a shot that is hit with a short, low trajectory, while a LOB is a shot that is hit with a high arc. Both shots are used to keep the opponent off balance and can be used to set up other shots.
