how do you can you deal with hook and fade loops/topspins?

Hi Jonathan,

Take a look at our lesson on these strokes, Sidespin Forehand Topspin.  This will also show you how to counter them.  I thin one of the best ways is to do a sidespin topspin back.

This naturally counters the spin on the ball.  You can also topspin them straight by brushing the top of the ball fast.  This will get the ball rotating straight forwards.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
