If you name the stroke you may provide an English explanation or a Chinese translation.
Example:   
Forehand drive/ forehand counterhit 正手攻球 -  A forhand drive is a light topspin stroke that produces a low ball trajectory and is the primary offensive stroke in Ping Pong.   
Backhand drive / Backhand counterhit  反手攻球/撥球
flip  挑球
block - The forehand block is one way to counter a topspin stroke hit to your forehand side. Learn this stroke and you will be able to keep yourself in the rally even when your opponent get the first attack in. 擋球
  chop  削球

正確啲黎講，應該係形容你擊球時『抽』嗰下嘅動作。通常人哋話，你正手拉球或反手拉球，用英文就會係，forehand stroke 和 backhand stroke.

'Stroke' in table tennis is a grouping term. If you say forehand stroke foreigners may not know what particular kind of strokes you are talking. If you have a habit of reading Table Tennis Techniques in English, I bet you wouldn't give me these answers. It is likely that if you want to express 正手/反手拉球 you may use 'Forehand/Backhand Loop' or 'Forehand/Backhand Topspin'. If you want to express 扣殺 you may use 'kill'.

well, I don't read any official table tennis techniques website or manual, however, when I talk to my friend in the states ( "foreigners"), they understand and presume we are talking about the loop or loop drive.

In fact, in daily conversation, you don't even say you kill the ball. Guess what, instead of saying " the ball", we'd say "smash the ball".

no smash

Two websites agree that 'kill' is a proper term to describe 'smash' This term is an exact match with Chinese '扣殺'

well, Wong Sir, 我唔係同你鬥拋書包, I'm sharing how it is being communicate as a local american, you can quote hundred of websites but what I've shared won't change.

Sir_Wong

Brother KSLiu I am glad to read your valuable Ping Pong terms both in Chinese and English.
Some terms can be a bit better. e.g.  Footwork = 步法

What are the main differences of 'forehand loop' and 'forehand counter loop'?

[ 本帖最後由 Sir_Wong 於 2014-8-25 19:18 編輯 ]

純粹從字面上看， 我理解Forehand loop是一方正手拉弧圈球， Forehand counter loop 是另一方正手反拉過來的弧圈球。高手過招， 經常出現這些拉， 反拉， 然後進入來回對拉相持； 能够看到來回5-6球高質量的對拉， 當令觀眾拍爛手掌。這也是乒乓球吸引人的其中一個原因。

Thank you for sharing.
What I observed from various websites, loop and topspin are interchangable. Some sites use loop some sites use topspin.
The word 'topspin' and 'loop' can be used as noun or verb. So forehand loop is same as forehand topspin.
So counter loop is same as counter topspin.
