Forehand Loop Coming off the Table

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.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
