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?

Alois Rosario Answered 14 years ago

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?
