How should i play forehand loop from off the table should I stand lower or when contact give the ball more lift. Overall how should i play attacking forehand and backhand shots from off the table?

Hi Nick,
When you are further away from the table you can have a longer stoke. This is both possible and necessary. You have more time so that you can play the longer stroke but it is also necessary to generate enough power to get the distance back to the table and still make the stoke effective.
Think of it more as just a longer forehand topspin stroke. You can do the same on the backhand side.

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.
