Looping a smash
Strokes
John Nguyen Asked 12 years ago
I saw lots of pro looping a smash. Can you teach us?

Hi John,
This is a stroke that is difficult. However one you get the basics of doing a good topspin stroke you can do it off a lost any ball. to do it against a smash you need to watch the ball carefully and track it well because it is moving so fast.
Work first on getting the loop or topspin correct against a slower ball and then slowly speed up the ball to see if you can continue to make the stroke.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
