Hi Patrick.
Firstly take a look at our lessons on the Backhand Block and Forehand Block. If this is all comfortable for you then you can also take a look at the more advanced techniques that we show you in how to Counter A Spinny Topspin.
It is often a matter of touch when dealing with a good loop.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
