RPB counter-loop

gian crispino Asked 14 years ago

hello there.

im a shakehand player, but i changed to penhold bcoz im a very aggressive player so that its much easier to forehand loop. i also know how to do RPB, especially the RPB topspin. my problem is its really hard to RPB-block loops and im thinking about using RPB counter-loop that i read in a website instead of blocking, but i dont know how to counter loop. can you please help me? thx in advance

Hi Gian,

Try blocking using the forehand side of your rubber.  Most penholders will use this side when doing a defensive block and only use the RPB for aggressive strokes.

The counter loop is a difficult stroke.  Take a look at the lesson on how to Counter A Spinny Topspin .  This will help you with the principles.
