Forehand Loop Coming off the Table
Strokes
Jeff Wang Asked 11 years ago
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.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
