Hi Alois
I having trouble looping. I can get it up, but 80% of the time, the ball flies out, and every time it has pretty much no spin what so ever.
Plz Help

Hi Peter,
Focus on getting a brushing contact on the ball. This is the key to getting the ball to drop back down onto the table.
Put a higher net over the table. You can do this by even getting someone to hold a stick about 30cm above the net and get your shot to go over the stick and onto the table. This will develop the topspin naturally.
