Hey Alois and Jeff,

I was just wondering what is the difference between the forehand loop and the forehand drive?

Cheers,

Xavier

HI Xavier,

These are just extensions of each other. The loop is an exaggerated drive. You are also changing the trajectory of your strokes. Against more backspin, the stroke can be more vertical. The loop is a bigger stroke.
