Hi Jarelle,
Firstly I hope he is not looking at PingSkills!
To beat a looping attacker you need to work at keeping the ball short so that he doesn't get opportunities to attack the ball. You also need to find his weaker side more often. By playing the ball to his weaker side he will give you slightly easier shots to deal with.
For Premium members there is a lesson on this lesson titled Playing An Attacking Looper.
