Sidespin Topspins
Strokes

how do you can you deal with hook and fade loops/topspins?

Hi Jonathan,
Take a look at our lesson on these strokes, Sidespin Forehand Topspin. This will also show you how to counter them. I thin one of the best ways is to do a sidespin topspin back.
This naturally counters the spin on the ball. You can also topspin them straight by brushing the top of the ball fast. This will get the ball rotating straight forwards.

Strawberry Flick
The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
