Hi Ali,

To hit back a topspin that has a lot of spin you need to punch through the ball. Aim to hit the ball down like you are aiming for the net. Do not lift the ball at all just hit it straight and flat.

Try this out and see how it works.

I've never heard this method before...  My main technique for dealing with very spinny loops has been to keep my wrist loose (I think you gave me this advice...and it has worked quite well) and to reloop the loop.  I'll try this punching method next time and see how the results differ.
