hello, I'm having problems with the loop. When I try the forehand and backhand loop, I tend to either hit the ball into the net or when I do get it over it misses the table. any suggestions?

Hi Cory,

It sounds like you are not getting a brushing contact on the ball.  Work on making sure the contact is thin so that you are getting the ball to spin.  This will help to lift the ball over the net.  It will also help to get the ball to dip quickly so that it lands on the other side.

Backhand Smash

Our advice is to avoid the backhand smash and play the forehand smash instead. However if you do get caught out and need to play it, watch this video to learn the right technique to use.
