contre-top

français vers anglais Technique / Génie Sports / forme physique / loisirs Table tennis
La technologie Efficient Curve permet d’allier puissance et rotation en top-frappé, et offre une incroyable sécurité en contre-top.

Not sure whether this is a video game or real table tennis. If top-frappé is topspin, what is contre-top? Top-sur-top? And what about "topspin frappé"???
Proposed translations (anglais)
4 counter loop
4 counter top-spin

Yep, not hard to find when you look ;-)
There is also: counter topspin = contre top-spin ; top contre top
Apparently the loop / counter-loop is at a distance from the table - probably doesn't really matter here though.

also topspin frappé = smashed topspin

Well I always use French explanations as a basis for research. Each to his own.

Sorry, this is no help whatsoever. I still have no idea what any of these terms are in ENGLISH. Thanks anyway.
