Strokes
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.
Question actions
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
