Forehand loop means a powerful topspin attack played from the forehand side. The stroke produces heavy topspin using upward brushing contact. Players swing the racket forward and upward during the motion. Strong topspin pulls the ball downward onto the table. The shot often starts aggressive attacking rallies. Players usually use loops against backspin balls. The racket begins below the ball before accelerating upward. Strong leg drive supports powerful body rotation. Brushing contact increases spin and improves control. Heavy spin makes the ball jump forward after bouncing. Opponents must react quickly against the strong rotation. Accurate timing ensures solid contact with the ball. Balanced posture supports powerful forehand swings. Many attackers rely heavily on the forehand loop. During a rally a defender pushes a deep backspin ball. The attacker steps forward and performs a forehand loop. The ball arcs high and dips sharply onto the table.
