Faster forehand topspin off a backpin ball

When I make a forehand topspin off a backspin ball, my ball usually goes so slowly and highly so my opponent can easily make a block or even a forehand topspin against me. Can you tell me how to make my forehand topspin off a backspin ball faster

Thank you!

Hi DucAnh,

As long as you make the correct path with your stroke first then you can start to speed it up to get it moving faster. If you want to brush over the top of the ball more you need to really get the bat moving even faster.
