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?

Thanks a lot

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.

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.
