Training with Coach Yi- Counter looping against slow, spinny top spin balls 卓球

Coach Yi teaches how to counter loop against slow, spinny, but relatively high, top spin balls. In this video, recorded in January 2013, my success rate was low because I was HITTING too much, rather than LOOPING. The contact point is key to counter looping this type of slow, spinny, but high balls: contact the ball at off-center (i.e. at its side). You do NOT need to contact the ball early; Coach Yi advises to contact the ball at its highest point (at top of bounce). This is contrary to passive blocking, where we generally need to have early timing (when the ball is still on the rise, before the top of bounce).
