Hi Sami,
To make a faster stroke you can extend your wrist as well. Let it relax and follow through with your stroke. You don't need to force the wrist through.
Again for a faster ball you can really extend your arm through at the end. We have a lesson as part of our Premium lessons on the Advanced Forehand Topspin which will show the workings of the advanced stroke.

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.

Can i Play the forehand loop against underspin with whole arm and the full swing and moving my wrist and go foreword with stroke to make it faster?
Thanks coach..
Hi Sami.
Yes you can. It is more difficult to go forward. You need a lot of speed with your arm to do this. If you don't get good speed the ball will go into the net.
