I really liked the video lessons to date and have some requests for future ones.
1) how to do the flip (against short backspin, short topspin, and short dead balls)
2) forehand loop (including, looping against backspin - maybe as a whole separate video)
3) backhand loop (including, looping against backspin)
4) forehand cutting (both over the table and behind the table)
5) backhand cutting (both over the table and behind the table)
6) returning serve (different spins, long and short serves)
7) backhand smash, and generally how to hit backhand against high topspin shots
9) footwork
10) general tactics
I’d better stop there! Quite a lot already. Any of these would be great, and the more the better!

I would like you to give one lesson all on the topic of “spin”
I’m a beginner, and would like to learn more about spining the ball.

Sometimes people hit wicked topspin loops which are 90% spin and 10% pace. I know that if I just stick my bat out, the ball is going to spin off it and go a mile long. I know I’m supposed to keep my grip loose and swing through the ball. But it’s hard for me to relax when I see a monster loop these days. Some videos demonstrating how to play monster loops would be REALLY handy. Thanks!
