Hi Alois,

I was wondering how do you execute a perfect counterlooping techniqe? And what bat do you recomend for counterlooping.

Hi Robert,

The counterloop is an extension of the topspin.  You need to go much more forward on the ball because there is no lifting required because there is already enough topspin on the ball to get it over the net.  It is more about keeping the ball down on the table.  If you are away from the table you can have a bigger stroke.  If you are close to the table it is all about going forward on the ball.

Forehand Block

The forehand block is one way to counter a topspin stroke hit to your forehand side. Learn this stroke and you will be able to keep yourself in the rally even when your opponent get the first attack in.
