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.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
