Strokes
Good day! :D
What are the different variations of topspin? .. what is the difference of a forehand loop from a forward topspin ?
Hi Jimi,
There are not a lot of differences. They become extensions of each other. There is no definitive cut off point when a topspin becomes a loop.
In general a loop tends to be a slower travelling shot that has more spin. The stroke is more vertical to make this happen. They both have a low to high action and a brushing contact.
The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.
