Hi Sami,

The stroke does change depending on the type of ball that comes to you.  Take a look at the lessons  on the Forehand Topspin Against Block and the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin.

This will show you the differences in the two strokes.  See if you can get the two different strokes correct and also learn when to play both of them.
