Power Loop
Strokes
Romeo Chua Asked 9 years ago
Am I able to attack a heavy backspin serve by my opponent with a loop fast and powerful enough while the ball is at its peak? A backspin so heavy that even a good chopper's chop wouldn't be able to compare with. While the loop is at a 45 degree angle.

Hi Romeo,
This is possible but you need to move your bat through the stroke extremely fast. This may not be possible for some players but this is how the better players deal with the stroke.
The speed of the racket and the friction on the rubber helps to counter the backspin on the ball.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
