AW: High throw.
Klaus,
The Wikipedia descriptions are surprisingly good - I just went on their website and had a glance.
However, just to give you an idea, I have never heard a tt- player using the expression "slice" as opposed to chop. As I mentioned previously, everybody would probably get it right when you talk about "slice" and put the correct meaning to it. However, the majority - if not all- of the players would rather use "push".
I also read the explanations for speed-, respectively loop-drive. I think "drive" could best translate to "Schlag". Therefore, a speed drive is a stroke, where the ball is being hit with more speed as opposed to spin. That could be a fast counter, smash, etc.. A loop-drive on the other hand, is considered when you to hit the ball primarily with spin rather than speed.
Both expressions, however, I had never heard being used among players. But nevertheless, I think you are save going with the Wikipedia explanations.
