Cant hit topspin close to table
Strokes
Omer Levy Asked 5 years ago
Hey coach, lately i find out that i can play loop only, if the ball bounce once and go out of the table, and that i can't attack when the ball go for a second bounce, how to fix it, do you have any tips?

Hi Omer,
It its very difficult to loop if the second bounce is on the table. In fact almost impossible. You can try to topspin but the stroke needs to be more horizontal and you need to brush the top of the ball really fast. It is a stroke that the top players can do well but still not something that they do all the time. Off that sort of ball they would tend to play more of a Flick stroke.
