How to loop a backspin ball harder
Strokes
Ittipat Amonrungmetham Asked 13 years ago
Hi Alois.
Yesterday I played against one player who was very good at smashing a loop ball. When he returned my serve with a push, I looped the ball, and the ball goes up high and slowly but full of spin. He just smashed it easily like 80 percent of success.
So what I would like to know is how to loop the ball harder so that the ball would travel faster. Please help me...
Thank you

Hi Ittipat,
Try to vary the speed. To get the ball to travel faster just move your arm through faster. If you are making the correct stroke you will be able to make it faster easier by just getting the bat to go from start to finish position quicker.
