Chinese vs. European loops
Strokes
chip Phatak Asked 14 years ago
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, a Chinese loop has more of a back swing, comes through the ball more, and relies on a tacky rubber while the European loop has more of a brushing action and starts lower.
My question is, what do you guys use? I'm guessing a European style because the lessons seem to show it that way. I also want to know what loop some of the readers use. I think its an interesting census to take.

Hi Chip,
I am not sure that the Chinese swing has more backswing but probably more of a horizontal backswing.
The European swing has less of a brush than the Chinese swing. The Chinese swing contacts the ball finer and uses the tackiness of the rubber.

I use the chinese loop, where you use your shoulder more than the elbow, generates more power
