How to FH loop to your FH side?

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.
