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.
