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.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

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.
