Hi Alois, 

While I'm playing ping pong, my playing partner keeps criticizing my backhand loop (not in a bad way) . My friends do backhand loop good but mine sucks because i can get someone to slow mo show me their loop. Can you show me the correct motion?

Thx

Joe

Hi Joseph,

Take a look at our lessons on the Backhand Topspin Against Block and the Backhand Topspin Off Backspin to see the correct techniques to use.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
