Hi my name is Jimmy,

i just became serious about table tennis about a few months ago. I have an ipong machine, but it seems like i can't make any loops with my forehand at all but i can counter hit and block fine. I can even do backhand loops even though my backhand is my weaker side.What should i do?

Hi Jimmy,

The important part is technique.  Have you had a good look at the lesson on the Forehand Topspin and the Forehand Loop Off Backspin.

Make sure you get the start and finish position correct especially.  These are the most important factors to getting the stroke correct.
