Hi coach!

I would like to know what are the particularities of a "Forehand Loop" and when and where can we use it?

Hi Haja,

You can use the Forehand loop when the ball is long on your side of the table.  It can be used to attack especially against a backspin ball.

Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin.  This is the same stroke that you are talking about.

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.
