loop and high loop
Strokes
hamed mazrooei Asked 14 years ago
hi Jeff,
would you tell me the difference between loop, high loop and drive?

HI Hamed,
A loop is the name given for a stroke where you lift the ball a bit more vertically. The high loop is an exaggerated version of the loop going higher over the net with more spin and less speed.
The drive is a forehand counterhit. You can see this demonstrated in our lessons.

There are a lot of players using high loop (second bounce vertical) all the time. High loop is also used for return service. I did a search but I did not find a video showing how to do high loop and how to hit high loop. Could you help?
Hi Paul,
Here is a lesson on how to do the shot. Slow Spinny Topspin. Also a lesson on how to counter it. Counter a Slow Spinny Topspin. Hope these help.
