Hi coach,

i recently saw a game between two top class players. One flick and the other looped.

To me it sounded like more of a flat hit instead of a loop. Is it just cuz it was really fast or is it very a flat hit

Thanks

Hi Mat,

It may have been a fast contact where they were getting a flatter contact but still generating a lot of spin.  It may also have been a softer rubber that they were using that made that sound.

It is a matter of degrees of each.  You can get more spin and less flat or more flat and less spin.
