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.

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.
