Hi Pingskills,

I was just wondering why my forehand loop never hits the table. I find this really frustrating because I lose most my points this way.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

It is difficult to tell exactly without seeing you play but try to follow the basics of the stroke.  Think about the start and finish positions that we show you in the lesson on the stroke.  Often if the ball is going off the end of the table, try to brush the ball more to get more topspin which will give the ball more dip.
