5th ball attack

Long Regain Asked 10 years ago

Hi coach

After serve I usually do the slow spinny loop againt the backspin, it got a lot of spin on the ball but not as high as the normal slow spinny loop, it low like a normal loop and it move pretty fast but not like the normal loop. some time they can block my slow spinny loop but after that I don't know what to do, should i do the counter loop or should I do the slow spinny loop again.

Each of this are all have it own problem. When I do the counter loop it sometimes goes to the net or go out, but when I do the slow spinny loop I usually go out because topspin is very hard to loop back or if it go in to the table, they just smash my loop.

So what should i do after looping the backspin and after looping the slow spinny.

Hi Long,

This is a common difficulty.

After the first loop make sure you are still putting topspin on the ball but you need to go more forward wit the stroke.  Finish in the correct position as we show you in the lesson on Forehand Topspin Against Block.  Th slight adjustment between the lifting the backspin and then topspin against block is what most players have difficulty with.

For our Premium members we have a lesson dedicated to this issue in our Master Classes. Forehand Followup.
