Please tell the difference between loop and top spin both in fore hand and back hand...

Hi Hari,

The main difference is the speed and amount of spin.  They are both just different types of topspin.  The loop is usually just a little more spin and slower.  This applies to both forehand and backhand.

Snake Shot

A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
