What exactly is a counter loop and how do you do it? I heard this is crucial when it comes to attacking?

Hi Jason,

A counter loop is making a topspin against an incoming topspin ball.  It is a difficult stroke to master as you need to cope with the incoming topspin and then make a good contact with your own topspin stroke.

We have a tutorial in our Advanced Advanced Strokes section on Topspin to Topspin that will show you the techniques to make the stroke happen.
