I can hit other strokes but forehand topspin. I wonder what is the difference between loop and topspin

one trainer says a counter hit is topspin with closed-angle and close to the table and a loop is an open angle away from the table. another says that a counter is a very weak topspin and everything else is a topspin. 

how to hit the ball more with topspin and what is a counter and a loop?

Hi Jon,

They are all similar strokes just extensions of each other.

Take a look at our tutorials on the Forehand Counterhit, the Forehand Topspin Against Block which is what is usually referred to as a topspin and then there is the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin which is often referred to as a loop.

Our advice is to avoid the backhand smash and play the forehand smash instead. However if you do get caught out and need to play it, watch this video to learn the right technique to use.
