What exactly is being analyzed here? What's a "pull-loop"??

Iskandar

I'm with is on this, is the pull loop in the serve at the start, or the kill loop at the end?

I'm not really seeing a loop anywhere from Li Xiaoxia (except arguably the last shot): I'm seeing a serve, followed by a forehand push, followed by a forehand drive (flat-hit, could be called a smash, or maybe a loop-kill. Looks too flat to me for a loop.)

What does look like it could be called a "backhand pull-loop" is Ishikawa's second shot, where she seems to stretch her arm out a bit further to the backhand side than the ideal backhand shot would have her arm. First example of the shot is at 0.09.

I am lost here as much as you guys are because the only indication of a pull-loop (if that's what its called) I can see is not from Lixiaoxia but from Ishikawa from her BH

it's up there in the statement
