Hi Alois.

Is it possible to hit forehand loop that stays low after landing on the table after landing (sorta skids off it like when u skim pebbles in a pond ).If yes, can you please tell me how to do it describing the spin speed racket angle and the type of of return to do it against.

Thanks a lot

Hi Abhiram,

The main thing is to keep the ball low over the net and get plenty of topspin on it.  This will tend to make the ball skid through quite low.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
