hi Jeff,

would you tell me the difference between loop, high loop and drive?

HI Hamed,

A loop is the name given for a stroke where you lift the ball a bit more vertically.  The high loop is an exaggerated version of the loop going higher over the net with more spin and less speed.

The drive is a forehand counterhit.  You can see this demonstrated in our lessons.

There are a lot of players using high loop (second bounce vertical) all the time. High loop is also used for return service. I did a search but I did not find a video showing how to do high loop and how to hit high loop. Could you help?
