Strokes
Michael Vaewhongs Asked 17 years ago
Is this what Jeff is showing in the video "forehand topspin against backspin"?

Hi Michael,
A loop in Table Tennis is a stroke that has a lot of topspin which causes the ball to dip as it travels forward. The topspin is what makes it possible to hit a ball hard from a relatively low position and still land on the table. A loop can be played off a backspin ball or off a block or even off your opponent's loop.
So you are correct Michael, a loop is what we were demonstrating in the video forehand topspin against backspin. It is also what we were demonstrating in the video Forehand Topspin Against Block
So basically the terms topspin stroke and loop can be used interchangeably. Let us know if this clears things up with regards to a loop in Table Tennis.
