Forehand Loop just off the end

Strokes

When the ball bounces so that it barely falls off the end of the table, I always try to loop it back, but the topspin I add means it can't get over the net. What would you advise?

Hi Frank,

Play a slower ball with more topspin.  You need to make it quite slow to get it up an dover the end of your end of the table and then also enough spin to drag the ball down once it gets over the net.

Take a look at this previous question and video response. Hitting topspins from below the table level.

  1. Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.​ 
  2. Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.​ 
  3. Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.​ 

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​

Whether you're a beginner aiming to build a solid foundation or an advanced player looking to refine your technique, this comprehensive guide is designed to enhance your game.
