Strokes

Hi I recently played a guy who had a very killer loop.It Had a lot of speed and spin.

I can do the slow spinny topspin. But my loops are usually fast and don't have a lot of topspin.

When I try to do a fine contact it is slow loop.

When he looped I could hear the sound of his fine contact but it was quite fast.

Hi Ali,

It is a matter of getting the right balance of fine contact and thick contact to get the ball to have a lot of spin and still have speed.

If the ball is too slow then get the contact a bit flatter and vice versa.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
