move around the fh or not?

hi guys, is it normal to say:

me against a chopper right, he chops to my wide fh, i loop it back, he chops it on other side, and instead of running around for the fh i do i bh loop?

and same with a nomral player, if u tospin slow on my bh side, just stay there and do bh top as well.

so for me, i cover 50/50 with bh and fh?

do many players do this? or should i change the way i play?

fh everything. i am very comfortable with my bh, and i still try very hard to fh as much as possible

You will find your foot work will be more dynamic. (and therefore your placement and tactics) if you use fh more. Personally I try to use fh against defence whenever possible for this reason. I sometimes use bh if I need to get used to the spin (against a twiddler for example)

I also try to be aggressive with my looping and the only loop I do w hile practicing is strong loops with alot of topspin, do you think this has to do with the fact that I am only hitting about 3-4 times?

You are hitting 3-4 times as I assume you are hitting them harder each time . During a rally with a blocker , trying hitting hard then mix with slightly controlled loop. This also gives you time to regain position and also change the racket angle of blocker . In practice try more controlled loops and you will get 7-8 consistent ones . This will give you a rhtym & confidence . If you are close to table , keep using your current style . When behind since you have more time you can based on your comfort take up a style.

The standard you are aiming for is way too low.
Keep a diary of yr training then:

You should start doing topspins on one line at the the level of speed and spin where you can do 20 reps at will.
if you miss reduce speed and spin. THAT will MEAN SLOWING DOWN for a couple of sessions!
repeat this practice at same speed until you succeed 9 rallies out of ten.

Then increase the speed until you are back to only 10 shots then practise at the new speed until you can do 20.
Bear in mind that a top pro could do 1000 topspins against block no problem.
keep going untill 100 stroke rallies at control speed are the norm. remember good length topspin bounces near end of table
If you have a good feeder there s no reason why you shouldnt get a hundred or so if your dad is a good blocker. the secret is to not try and loop winners but go for rhthym as you did with yr hitting.
Once yr bored with one line stuff try a pattern:
you play all to one corner. Dad blocks 2 to bh 1 to fh repeat. you play bh, fh(steparound) fh (from wide)repeat
40 strokes per rally would be excellent, but it may take you a while to get even 20.

wupps I get impatient and I always try to go for winners because I feel like I  need to make it have a lot of speed in order for it to have a lot of spin. I use sriver g2 as a forehand, what would be ways of adding spin and not speed?

if i am not wrong, table tennis used to be dominated by strong forehanders who take every shot on their fh, but eventually Swedish players who were able to take good shots on both bh and fh emerged. My point is, fh is generally stronger than bh, but do not try too hard to cover everything with fh, it'll only tire you out. also while switching sides, your fh would not be as effective as it would have been if it were on your fh, so theres not much point running to pull a weak fh.
