Table Tennis Forehand Loop Stroke

One of the offensive strokes in table tennis or ping pong is the loop drive. It is essentially the reverse of the speed drive that the bat is much more parallel to the direction of the stroke (”closed”) and the bat thus grazes the ball, resulting in a large amount of topspin. A good loop drive will arc quite a bit, and once striking the opponent’s side of the table will jump forward, much like a kick serve in tennis. Because of its topspin a loop drive is called a dangerous stroke — while not as difficult to return as a speed drive, it is more likely to rebound off the opponent’s bat at a very high angle, setting up an easy smash on the follow up. As the loop drive requires a lot of topspin, players generally use their entire body to generate the movement required. Variations in spin and speed adds to the effectiveness of this shot.

A loop is also called the “ultra-topspin” produces a more pronounced loopy arc, with a higher trajectory and extreme topspin, but is typically slower. And a loop is also one of the hardest ping pong strokes to learn. And learning how to do it correctly in practice is another thing compare to know how to do it in theory.
