Looping Problems
Strokes
Peter Niu Asked 8 years ago
Hi Alois
I having trouble looping. I can get it up, but 80% of the time, the ball flies out, and every time it has pretty much no spin what so ever.
Plz Help

Hi Peter,
Focus on getting a brushing contact on the ball. This is the key to getting the ball to drop back down onto the table.
Put a higher net over the table. You can do this by even getting someone to hold a stick about 30cm above the net and get your shot to go over the stick and onto the table. This will develop the topspin naturally.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
