Forehand Loop just off the end

Strokes

When the ball bounces so that it barely falls off the end of the table, I always try to loop it back, but the topspin I add means it can't get over the net. What would you advise?

Hi Frank,

Play a slower ball with more topspin.  You need to make it quite slow to get it up an dover the end of your end of the table and then also enough spin to drag the ball down once it gets over the net.

Take a look at this previous question and video response. Hitting topspins from below the table level.
