How do i do the proper loop? because sometimes when i am looping the ball is going high then my opponent smashes it and then sometimes it goes through the net or its goes out if the table??

Hi Joe,

With the loop the contact is important.  If the ball is going too high ten turn your bat more forward.  If it is going into the net then turn int back.  Work to get a good brushing action on the contact so that you are generating a lot of spin and the ball will dip quickly onto the table. 

Take a look at the lesson on the Forehand Loop Off Backspin if you haven't seen it as yet.
