Strokes
Am I able to attack a heavy backspin serve by my opponent with a loop fast and powerful enough while the ball is at its peak? A backspin so heavy that even a good chopper's chop wouldn't be able to compare with. While the loop is at a 45 degree angle.
Hi Romeo,
This is possible but you need to move your bat through the stroke extremely fast. This may not be possible for some players but this is how the better players deal with the stroke.
The speed of the racket and the friction on the rubber helps to counter the backspin on the ball.
A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
