Hi Amekun,
Just flatten out the contact a bit. Don't think of the topspin and counterhit as two different strokes but just different versions of the same stroke. Take another look at our lesson on the Forehand Counterhit to see if that helps as well.

The forehand block is one way to counter a topspin stroke hit to your forehand side. Learn this stroke and you will be able to keep yourself in the rally even when your opponent get the first attack in.

im having a hard time with the follow through :(
whenever i do my follow through i think i add topspin to my ball
and how many degrees should i angle my racket for the counterhit
thx coach :)
As long as you get the contact right the stroke will be good. Don't worry if it feels like a topspin, if the ball is going on consistently that is good.
