Two Wing Looper

© Greg Letts

Strokes Used

Players of this style use heavy topspin loops from both sides of their body, typically employing a shakehand shallow grip. The speed of the loop can vary from player to player, ranging from players using a spinny loop with moderate speed, to other players using a speed loop with moderate topspin.

Distance from the Table

The distance from the table can vary, with some players preferring to play around 3 feet (~1 metre) from the table and using a shorter stroke, while others go back as far as 6-8 feet (~2m) and use a longer stroke.

Typical Equipment

These players typically use booster or speed glue and 2.0mm to maximum thickness sponge inverted rubbers, combined with an offensive or faster blade.

Popularity

The two wing looper has become the most dominant style in the highest ranks of the game, and is also very common in the lower ranks as well.
