At the minute I am a half attacking looper and half blocker. How can I become an all out attacking looper. When I do try I always lose. Also what drills should I do to help with this

Hi Thomas,
I am not sure becoming an all out attacker is the answer.
Perhaps you are suited better to the way you play.
However if you want to attack more, practice a lot of 3rd ball routines. Focus on watching whether the ball is short or long. Long means that the ball only bounces once on your side of the table.
As soon as the ball comes long to you, you need to make a topspin.
There are a lot of suggestions for drills todo this in our Training Secrets Revealed DVD.

The Controller
Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
