Hi Alois I want to ask you :
1.Is there any difference in forehand topspin and forhand loop ? If yes ,what ?
2.What exactly is the power pocket ? What means inside the power pocket and outside the power pocket?

Hi Alexandar,
There is no real difference between a loop and a topspin. The loop is often referred to as the higher slower topspin stroke. They are just different variations of the topspin stroke.
The Power pocket is just a term that some players use for the spot where you like to hit the ball from. It is also known as the Hitting Zone.
