If you want to hit the ball very fast,can you move your body forward to allow you to rotate faster?

Do you have 4 simple tips to put on a lot of speed on the table with your loop so it can be our what I call,a supertopspin?  THANKS.

Hi Ian,

Yes you can start to use your body rotation as a way of increasing power in your shots.  The stroke can also become a little more horizontal to add forward momentum to the shot.  Then you need to focus on your bat moving through faster to generate the speed. 

If you want a 4th tip then practice it a lot until you perfect it.

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
