I don't know if this necessarily applies to the circumstances of this tourney, but I have felt for a long time that any lob that lifts the ball over top-tube height encourages players to start slashing their mallets in a dangerous way.
Maybe not a discussion for here, but we either
a. ban lobs over top-tube height
or
b. ban mallets above top-tube height
b. might be the better option.
I whole heartedly agree with option B.
The rest of the world allows lobs and airplanes, cutting it out of the London game is short sighted.
