FH loop - do I brush on the top or side?

[merlin el mago]

Not the same quality. Just similarly spinny but not as powerful. It’s simply not possible to have the same amount of side spin and power with the shake hand grip. The penhold naturally applies side spin so you don’t have to change the angle of the wrist resulting in less power.
Ma Longs’s hit quite a few forehand shots loaded with side spin maybe even more powerful but the side spin itself wasn’t as overpowering as Xu Xin’s only because of the difference in grip.

Tell you this to WCQ when lost the China finals against Hou Yingchao.

Add side spin for insurance.

Hou Yingchao’s play style is vastly different to Xu Xin. You’re comparing apples to oranges
