Higher or lower throw

Hovever based on the situation a higher arc loop can be more effective.
More reaction time isn't better than good position. And a higher arc ball's trajectory is usually harder to predict as well.

Why? Saying so doesn't make it so.
My first coach was a big looper. However, too many of his loops were too high and could be counter hit.
My first coach and I would warm up hitting loops. If done right the loops will have a lot of spin such that the surface of the ball will make the ball jump out low and fast but this takes careful timing. I gave my slef "brownie points" when the ball bounced low off the table below the coaches paddle. It works well when warming up when fresh but after a lot a play I rather have a high "throw" rubber where I get more spin with less effort.

The problem with playing with low "throw" rubbers is that they require more of a brush stroke to get a high spin to speed ratio. This requires very precise timing.

A few months back I bought some R47. It is too fast. The spin to speed ratio was too low because the speed was too high.
