Forehand loop
Strokes
Nicholas C Asked 13 years ago
That's the next thing I'm curious to know about. Everytime I execute it, that ball goes high out of control out of the table's

Hi Nicholas,
If the ball is going off the table then think about closing the angle of your racket slightly. You can also think about getting more of a forward swing rather than a vertical swing. Both of these things will help the ball to go back lower.
Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Loop Off Backspin to get a picture of the right starting and finishing positions which is critical for learning any stroke.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.

So it's okay to do that? Because you mentioned in your videos that we must have a 90 degree angle before hitting the ball..
