Hi,

 I was wondering how to do a forehand loop to my forehand side. Lately, I've found that my loops always go to the backhand side (from my POV). I know that variety is important, so I was wondering if there's a way to FH loop to the FH side.

Thanks.

Hi Henry,

Changing the direction of your loop is just a matter of changing the angle of your wrist slightly.  You can also do it by changing body position a little but a slight wrist change is all it really needs.

You can also think about just hitting the ball a little earlier in your swing.  By hitting it earlier you will get the ball to go across court.  The best idea is to place a target on the table and aim for it.  This will change your angles quite naturally.

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.
