Strokes
Hi, what is the difference between a loop, drive and smash? Could you explain the technical difference as well in executing the 2 different techniques?
Hi JinMeng,
A drive has more topspin, the smash is a flatter contact and faster shot.
The drive you would contact the ball with more of a brushing action and have a more vertical action. The smash you start with your bat higher and come through more horizontally.
The forehand chop is a defensive stroke played away from the table. It is mainly used by defenders but can also be incorporated into an attackers game when forced away from the table.
