hi Alois

whenever i loop it is not coursing as a top spin with a good arch, instead it is coursing as a side spin. Can u help me?

Hi Gautham,

Focus on the end of your racket. If the ball is curving to the left, lift the end of your racket slightly and vice versa. The key is the angle of your racket when you hit the ball.

If you take a look at our lesson on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin you may get a better feel for what I mean.

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.
