What would you call a stroke that combines a swift forehand smash and a swift forehand loop and which can be executed on very low balls from within the table and is not easy to block in time? I have recently managed to develop this smash that I don't see in your videos. I know that many players play this swift shot. Can you send me a video or videos describing this stroke?

Hi,
This is a fast forehand topspin. There needs to be some topspin to get this ball on the table consistently.

Thank you very much indeed. I thought about terming it a (blitz forehand loop). Unfortunately, I may not be able to join the premium members now.
