What is Counter-loop in Table Tennis?

Looping the opponent's loop — re-topspinning a heavy topspin ball, often off the bounce or from mid-distance. Counter-looping duels are the most spectacular exchanges in the elite game.

Example: The point turned into a four-loop counter-looping rally that brought the crowd up.
