Backhand topspin against fast push

What is the right stroke for backhand topspin against fast push on my backhand side ( I am a right handed shakehand grip)

Hi Guadencio,

The key to this stroke is to play the stroke a little more vertically than you would first think.  The speed on the ball tends to have the same effect as heavy backspin.

So play the stroke like a topspin against heavy backspin.  Start low, well below the hitting point, brush the ball finely on contact, swing quite vertical and finish up at head height.

Let me know if this helps correct the errors.
