Is there any difference how the ball bounces on the opponents side of the table compared than you loop vertically and horizontally?
Hi Mindaugas,
With a vertical loop the ball will tend to bounce a little higher. With a horizontal stroke it will move more forwards.
The ball will bounce a little higher with the slow loop. This can be an advantage as it is different for the other player. Sometimes it forces them to move forward to the ball.
With the stroke, I think the body should all work together. If one comes before the other you will get out of time.
