How to FH loop to your FH side?
Strokes
Henry Yam Asked 14 years ago
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.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
