Hi again sir alois,

i've been playing pingpong for 5 months and I think I already can do the "loop".

the problem is, my loops go in one direction only: my opponent's right or forehand side and they easily learn to block my loop bcoz of this..

so how can you place your loops? i.e. left and right

Hi Gian,

The only difference with placing the ball is a slight adjustment of the wrist.  For this you need to keep the wrist relaxed so that it can change direction.

Don't try to change too much like your legs, arm etc.  It is amazing how little you need to change your wrist to get the ball to both sides of the table.
