Hey coaches, i use the hurricane 3 neo on my forehand and don't seem to have a good brushing contact when playing a topspin. Hence, i put many balls long. Do you need come more forward with the stroke and really brush the ball to dip it onto the table?
Hi Jack,
Perhaps the rubber is lifting the all too much. You could try to angle the bat down a little and brush more over the top of the ball. This will keep the ball going forward and dipping onto the court.

With a harder sponge and grippy top you can come over the ball a bit more.
The Chinese are still spinning the ball and brushing it on contact. It may look like a flat contact but they are really ripping the contact.

Hey Alois, i tried closing the bat a little more and coming forward faster but it feels awkward and im not able to loop consistently.
Is it because there is little dwell time with a hard chinese rubber and stiff/hard blade combination or my technique?

Hey Alois, i found this useful video about the chinese forehand loop. It says to brush the ball with a 80-90degree angle of the bat. What do you think about this?

From this video, it seems that Ma Long is getting a rather open contact on the ball but is getting a good arc over to the table. Maybe im not brushing the ball enough?
