Backhand counterloop
Strokes
Tevia Sapire Asked 15 years ago
Hi pingskills could you do a video on the backhand counterloop. Obviously a difficult shot to master but I find it difficult just to get the ball on the table.
Thanks

Hi Tevia,
Thanks for the suggestion. We will add it to our list. As you mention this is a hard shot to master. However the principles will be the same for the forehand counterloop.
Take a look at our topspin to topspin lesson and see if you can apply some of these principles to your backhand counterloop. Some things to consider are that you won't need to lift the ball because of the topspin your opponent has applied so try to swing more forward than for a normal topspin off block.
Again thanks for the suggestion, we have a few lessons that we are editing currently but hopefully we can get to this one fairly soon.
