Counterlooping

Strokes

Robert Dimaranan Asked 14 years ago

Hi Alois,

I was wondering how do you execute a perfect counterlooping techniqe? And what bat do you recomend for counterlooping.

Alois Rosario Answered 14 years ago

Hi Robert,

The counterloop is an extension of the topspin. You need to go much more forward on the ball because there is no lifting required because there is already enough topspin on the ball to get it over the net. It is more about keeping the ball down on the table. If you are away from the table you can have a bigger stroke. If you are close to the table it is all about going forward on the ball.

Strawberry Flick

The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
