Hi Aankith,
The stroke is more vertical but you need to generate a lot of spin to get the ball down onto the table.
If the ball is going too high then you need to turn your bat more forward and brush the ball faster to give the ball enough lift. This is a more difficult stroke but is possible if you train it. The key is speed of your arm.
Also take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Loop Off Backspin which will help.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
