If your opponent’s primary shot is an extreme topspin attack, he is considered a looper. Loopers can play far from the table or close to the table; some loopers are penholders while others use the shakehands grip, some loop from both forehand and backhand and some just forehand. In this article, I’m going to describe the opponent who loops with just his forehand.
Congrats to 6-year-old Fiona Dubina for becoming the SDTTA January Student of the Month. Fiona earned the award for doing a 94 hit footwork drill on wide angle shots combining both backhand and forehand. Fiona will be featured on TV (Cleveland 19 WOIO TV) next week. I'll post the exact time that the clip will be featured.
Keep working hard Fiona!

Once your have purchased your robot, I will give you detailed instructions about developing training programs, writing your own drills, and making a daily schedule. Check out the video below where I briefly outline how to write your own drills!
In table tennis, there is so much comparison – this coach is better than that coach – this program is better than that program. Sometimes, comparison is good and sometimes it is bad. In this short article, I would like to say some good things about players/coaches in the US and say what we can learn from them…
I would like to congradulate Joe Ciarrochi as being player/coach of the month. Not just during the month of December, but throughout the entire year Joe has really been a joy to work with. He is eager to learn new skills (and realizes that it isn't easy) while at the same time offers advice to anyone in his path. Joe, keep working hard on your game - I appreciate the hard work in your own game and the hard work that you invest in others! Check out the most recent article by Joe Ciarrochi...
