After testing various rubbers, I notice that the loop stroke is demanded to be different for dense sponge vs porous sponge. I typically play with dense sponge, so that is basically my default.
For Dense sponge, I find that loop is best with a slightly more closed racket, and more brushing stroke.
But whenever I play with porous and softer rubbers, I notice that the racket needs to be more open, and the stroke has to hit forward through the ball more. I find that if I try to brush loop the ball, the rubber can't quite pick up the ball and it goes into the net.
Is this finding consistent with what others have found?
