Hi Saketh,

The lesson we have with a video is probably a good guide.  What is happening when you are hitting the topspin.  It is a good idea to take a video of your shot even if it is with a mobile phone that you can watch your stroke.  Often looking at our stroke will identify the problems especially when you compare it to the stroke Jeff is doing in the lesson on the Backhand Topspin.
