FOREHAND LOOP ADVANCED SKILL DEVELOPMENT

FOREHAND LOOP ADVANCED SKILL DEVELOPMENT – Video

(By Brian Pace)
FOREHAND LOOP ADVANCED SKILL DEVELOPMENT
The Technical Development of the Forehand Loop is as straight forward as you can get, but there are 2 distinct aspects of development that the forehand loop must go through, and the first phase is stroke mechanics. The mechanics of any shot is referring to the major components that make up a shot like the forehand loop. Without those major components, you don’t even have a shot that is technically sound. How well your stroke mechanics are executed will allow you to have a forehand loop that is proficient. Your forehand loop reaching its peak technical execution is grounded in how much natural ability that you have, meaning how much potential is handed down to you from your parents. This aspect of executing your shot fits inside of a box, and at some point the components will become involuntary.

But there is another phase of development for your forehand loop, and it can have a huge impact on the quality of your forehand. If you want your loop to reach its maximum tactical impact, then you have to start to develop some advanced skills. The advanced skills you develop have everything to do with being able to perfectly execute the minor components. These are advanced skills, but are considered minor components, because you don’t have to do them perfect to still have a proficient forehand loop.

Advanced Skill 1: Anchor Foot
The best way to ensure that the stroke mechanics for your forehand loop is executed perfectly is making sure that your anchor foot is lined up to the ball when the ball hits the table. This will ensure that you are able to execute a loop with the maximum amount of effort that you can create. Observe the position in this clip.
