Higuma Otoshi is a backhand lob with a slice spin. It is one of the Triple Counters.
A counter against smashes. Facing their own baseline, the user receives the opponent's smash before it hits the ground. Utilizing the centripetal force of the body, the user negates the smash's power[1] before returning the ball as a high lob.
