Forehand Loop just off the end
Strokes
Frank Lucas Asked 7 years ago
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.

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.
