The player(s) whit the best loop

the fastest and more powerfull loop= kim taek soo

Ma Lins FH is one of the best ever... Kreangas fh isnt the best... he is a bh player... But he is awesome anyway!!

kong and malin

for best loop, I think its most spin, power, consistency and ability to use it(how much a player can use it)

I don't see that in many player

jonyer and klampar

superman

my favorite is Kong Linghui

Wang Liqin's forehand counter-loop-drive is the most highly developed in the world, at least for shakehanders. However, of everyone I have seen the person with the strongest loop against backspin by far is Kong Linghui.

After seeing the U-17 challenge match between Song Sichao and Liu Yi its clear that the coaches are further developing the mechanics of the forehand, more so than I had previously thought. The power both of them are able to get at such a young age is simply amazing. Combining the forehand techniques of Kong Linghui and Wang Liqin they get maximum spin and speed against backspin and incredible power against topspin.

Seeing the shakehanders' forehands power increase so much over just a period of ten years I can not wait to see how the penholders' forehands turn out like.

If you count the retired ones, I vote for Wang Tao. He has the lethal FH.

Uh... Timo Boll has many flaws in his technique. The first one is that his grip is pretty much useless for backhand (he changes grips for backhand loop), the second is that he virutally has no arm snap, the third is that his elbow is constantly stuck to his body (hard to loop down the line, compounded by his leftyness).

ma long's is very good, perhaps the best

Patrick Birocheau from France in the seventies had the most powerful loopkill I've ever seen, no glue, no nothing, been told he's been forced by his coach to swap from 1.5mm to 2.0mm...Lupulescu was also very impressive (ex double partner of Primorac). Now, I can't say. Let us compare what is comparable. With glue or without glue. I'd like to see Chen qi looping with an allround wood blade and 1.5mm sriver and I'll tell you whether he beats Birocheau's.

Vive la France !

Kong Linghui for backhand loop...the entire Chiense National team bases their bh loop off of Kong's. Small stroke, quick, very fast, kicks out at you, simple, effective, consistent. WLQ loop is not the best...don't jump on the WLQ bandwagon. KLH has the best loop IMO.

Wang Hao's bh loop is lethal his forehand isn't so good, so I'm currently developing Timo Boll compact fh style. His short movements are nice, I hit way better than overmoving my arm.

if we talk about "best loop" i understand as the hardest to block ,not taliking about spinny or fast. kong is the chopper's nighmare in germany i ve seen that chen weixing found no way to chop kong's loop, kong has awide range of looping. a lot of times a good loop turn out a nightmare as ryu when he gets bloked he can handle the return so a good bloker can return a fast loop faster than the incoming speed turning the block in a offensive tool, thats the reason bloker are always the best style to go to become a world champion. i recall a time when schlagger served a long ball forcing ryu to fast to fast loop then shclager bloked ryu's loop and the ball went fast as if schalgger would have looped back..

220km/hr?!? thats 140mph, and pretty quick!
