Counter Loop

Strokes

Jason Bui Asked 5 years ago

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

Alois Rosario Answered 5 years ago

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.

Slow to Fast Progression

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.
